Seems like Otz is the top man to replace Matt, so would you welcome Otz back to the program? From the posts today it seems like some people are hesitant to welcome him back. I personally think it'd be a fantastic rehire.
Would you welcome Otz back?

Why on Earth would anyone not want him back at Iowa State?
Reads like a press release. He's been good for ISU, but that's just fanspeak (Allen, Lucious, Long, and Thomas are "Cyclone greats"?) that hasn't been removed by a regular editor yet from a low traffic wiki page.
GeorgesFan isn't a fan. It may be buried in the Matt A thread. If Fred hires him, I'd welcome it, though.
A lot of things have happened to Matt since he left ISU. He and Allison are now the proud parents of twins so he might find Ames a great place to raise his family. He could get some pointers from Fred and Carol in that regard.
I believe someone in this thread said "if Fred would have him."
I copied an article to read this quote of Fred's later. I'm not sure but think it was in the Des Moines Register as I usually only read Cyclone information there and the Iowa State Daily. Sounds like Fred is planning to strike fast. I would think maybe even before this week end as more coaching vacancies will probably arise.
"I'll look at the best possible candidate," Hoiberg said. "I'll look at someone that can recruit at a high level, and someone with knowledge on the floor."
Hoiberg said that even could include former assistants like T.J. Otzelberger, now an assistant at Washington, and Doc Sadler, the head coach at Southern Mississippi.
"We'll see how that plays out in the next couple days."

Ehhh, I'm taking the same approach as I do with recruits and potential transfers. I'll trust Fred. He obviously has pretty good guage on what's going on in the program.
Seriously? He would come back so that Fred and Carol could give him pointers on parenting? Do you rely on your boss to tie your shoes and tell you what to eat?
doesn't matter what we think. although, leading your top recruiter twice in 3 years now - how long is TJ wanting to stick around. Although i am guessing after this last departure, he takes even more of an active role with the recruits.
