So wait, are you saying that I may have made someone a bundle on a proposition bet by referencing "MC sunshine pumpers." Fantastic! If so, then reading all the personal attack posts that had nothing to do with anything I actually said was well worth it...
Manning was a must, and a very good hire regardless. Ayeni is obviously a huge asset, plus is a great bridge in the transition. I would prefer if we went out and bought ourselves an OC, but Candle (if he comes) would provide critical continuity which is likely more important in the first year or two.
This is where I think CPR's lament about bringing a guardian along on recruiting trips is important. Those of us who attended ISU know it is a pretty easy sell once you get on campus. For a family to turn their son over to a coach 850 or 1000 miles away, you really need to make the parents comfortable with the decision as well.
I really hope JP takes CPR's exiting recommendation to heart.
What is Pollard supposed to do other than petition the ncaa for a rule change?
Toledo linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator Tyson Veidt and cornerbacks coach D.K. McDonald Jr. are joining the staff of new Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, according to a source
Rivals.com have said both Manning and Candle are two of the nation's top recruiters. I hope we get them both on board.

Sounds like most of Toledo is headed to Ames.
This is starting to worry me.... he needs a Big 12 level staff, not a MAC level staff. This is starting to sound like the whole "I got my payday and i'm bringing along my friends for their payday too" type of staff (ala Gene Chizik and Steve Alford -> and we all know how well that worked out for those two).

Probably some truth to that, but it makes it easier to implement and change a program when you are essentially relocating a successful one to Ames.When you are young and have never left the state of Ohio, you don't have a very diverse buddy system.
Welcome to coaching. It is the biggest Nepotism professional there is. But the HC is going to hire guys he is familiar with and trusts and imo that is smart. If the HC hires a bunch of guys he isn't familiar with and doesn't trust yet it's going to take a while for the staff to gel.
It happens everytime a new HC is hired at every school. In another thread I gave a few examples.
I agree. Who knows what would have happened if Rhoads had someone he was comfortable with to hire instead of Klenakis and Mangino?

Anyone wondering who will be left to coach their bowl game?Probably some truth to that, but it makes it easier to implement and change a program when you are essentially relocating a successful one to Ames.
