Agreed with those who have mentioned the importance of finding an actual program-builder/developer.
More money needs to be spent on consult firms or simply football consultants throughout the process. One of CPR's biggest downfalls outside of player development was probably leadership decisions. Placing the right assistants around you.
At times the perfect hire does appear contradictory. As in needing youth but somebody with head coaching experience. Somebody with experience but not one who is deemed an "offensive or defensive mind".

Absolutely, and it is the most incriminating aspect of Rhoads tenure. Not only did his "plan" marginalize this aspect, he inherited a good, road-grading OLine and tried to make them dance. You have to have something to build on, and at ISU that is most easily the run game.
Not a bad idea when others have mentioned. Always fear the NFL taint with these guys coming back. Whether he would bring same passion in program-building at Rutgers now that he had a taste of the big show.
It'll be interesting to see if the Mike Shannahan and Michigan rumors are just that or if it ends up happening.
My vote is for Scott Frost. Young, offensive oriented, comes from Oregon with all their fancy uniforms- we would get the white helmets everyone wants!
Otherwise Schiano would be great too.

Just wondering why you would want a coach that finished 4-8 and 1-6 in a relatively easy conference while they were in their 10th season as the head coach.
Explain.
What about we title 9 it and get the Baylor women's basketball coach. She recruits "gals" way nastier than CPR gets. And she could get some size into the program???
That was his only losing season in his final seven years at Rutgers and he bounced back with 9 wins the following year. Im not sold on the fact that we need someone with head coaching experience but he would be my choice if that is direction we go. I would prefer an OC or DC with Big 12 experience.
Starting from scratch, his peaks were good enough. Could there be better fits? Sure, but he is better than bringing Rhoads back. 7-5, 11-2, 8-5, 8-5, 9-4, 4-8, 9-4.
