Hasn't been discussed much, but making a move this year leaves ISU with a fairly wide open list of candidates. Waiting another year will likely result in ISU having competition with Iowa, Nebraska just to name two. Make a move this year and ISU will likely be the only Big 12 or Big 10 team in the market for a coach.
One reason to make a move ths year rather than waiting.

Agree with your point, but I'm pretty sure Penn State will can Ed DeChellis, and some of the same names - McCaffrey, Rose, Davis, Gregory - are being talked about there as are here.
I'm not impressed by any of the potential candidates. Which is why I'm willing to give Mac another year but thats it. Its win or you're gone for me next year.
Don't really have one. In my dream scenario, Lon Kruger would want to return to his Big 12 roots. Thought we might have taken a run at him the last time around.
The first move that needs to be made is replacing Pollard. I don't trust him to make yet another coaching hire.
Exactly. Deal with that fact of having more money to enjoy football, wrestling and womens basketball. I'm good with that.
Yep, he sure screwed up with Rhoads and Jackson. I'm sure he wouldn't have hired Chizdick and GMAC if he knew what the results were going to be, but they were one of the best prospects out there at the time. The only thing I question is the contract McDermott has.
He's raising tons of money for the school, increasing fan support, and booster support. Yeah, let's can him.
About 6,000 vacant seats per game say otherwise. Oh wait, you said this "site". Well, I am looking forward to the ISU athletic department refusing my "donations" to the sport of my choice based on what you stated.
Obviously this is because he has done seemingly terrible with his last two? I can say he has made one bad hire. That is Mac. Chizik was one of the hottest names out there and Cael was also a no brainer.
I'm sorry, supporting the team by not financially supporting the team is a childish way to make a statement to the athletic department. No one can change my mind on that.
Choosing not to attend, for various other reasons and allocating money to other sports is certainly understandable. But the amount of fans I've read on here that say they will make a statement by not financially supporting the team is kind of sad. I know some people have legitimate reasons of not doing it, but some are just doing it out of spite.
And Yes, that is the worst mentality I have ever read on this site.
