1. Bobby D returns to take the reigns for a few years with a "named" head coach in waiting as the top assistant. Several options are on the table for that assistant but the top choice is Joe Heskett.
2. Zeke Jones. Zeke is a candidate at his alma mater ASU as well. Zeke also interviewed with Penn State.
3. IF Jones goes to ASU, Kevin Jackson is a serious candidate for ISU.
Just what I heard today. Take it or leave it. Believe me if you want. I don't care.

Those are certainly reasonable possibilities and none named Brands.... so they sound good.
I wouldnt mind if any of those happened, but I'd rather #1. not happen. I think BD is a tad too old, and I would like someone super aggressive as some of our guys have been a tad passive recently.
One thing I forgot is that scenario #1 could also play out but with Gibbons as the short term head coach. I would not be a big fan of this. Jim is a great individual but we are a top 5 wrestling program. We don't need to hire someone who has been selling investments for the past 15 years.
Other names in the mix are Marty Morgan, Bono and Zalesky. They are back burner names for now, I think. Morgan would be interesting but I'm afraid he is J's eventual replacement. Bono would be a decent choice. The thought of Zalesky does not excite me.
Of course, this is very fluid. What I heard today could be outdated news by now. Minds change and opinions with them in situations like this.
