Schiano, Bo Pelini or Lane Kiffin ,if Iowa state is going to lose, at least make it entertaining.

Mack Brown would be better than CPR. No that's not saying much.
No he isn't some young up and comer, but I have no doubt he could go at least 6-6 in Ames.

I agree that we should go after someone that has been a head coach. Preferably one that has a history of having a creative offensive mind.
For that reason, I think the Memphis head coach would top my list right now, until someone can give me a better name that is out there? I would like Frost, but I think he'll be the next Nebraska coach whenever they decide to let Riley go. So I'll pass on that.
With Fuente at the helm it would be a seamless transition on defense, that's for sure.
Lol, what year is he signing this? The game done changed. Basketball and football.
Give me a HC that can recruit and build a staff. And doesn't meddle in the coordinators game plan. If you don't like the game plan your coordinator put together, why did you choose him as a coordinator?
Oh, it's such a horrible idea huh? Lou Holtz and Bill Snyder types couldn't coach in this stage of their lives right? You get a guy like Brown, you have access to great coordinators and recruiters to hit Big 12 areas again. Something ISU desperately needs. Wouldn't care if he would be here for only 3-5 years...we would have someone to pass the torch to in this case. The guy would at least get us to 6-6 right away too unlike the crappy coaches we have assembled now.
we have the worst coach in division 1 football right now. ISU needs someone that has been a head coach before. Can't go the assistant route again.
If anyone has watched Western Kentucky this year I think head coach Jeff Brohm would be the way to go. They have crushed everyone except for Indiana, who they had on the ropes and lost by 3. I think ISU could get him.
My new Top 5 that I think are realistic.
1. Bo Pelini (Youngstown State HC. Knows how to win in the Big 12, able to recruit. He and Pollard both have explosive personalities which, if Leath is involved, would hurt Pelini's chances)
2. Calvin Magee (Arizona OC. Players love him. Brings an explosive offense in a conference that isn't known for offense. At 52, if he wants to become a HC, nows the time.)
3. Justin Feunte (Memphis HC. Young. Players love him. Knows how to win.)
4. Doug Meachum (TCU OC. Honestly unsure how he would actually fit in with the culture here, but he knows how to score, and scoring is good.)
5. Matt Campbell (Young. Proven winner. Most successful Toledo coaches fair well after Toledo. Most.)

If we hire Bo Pelini, I'll become a Hawkeye fan.
Ok, maybe not a Hawkeye fan, but I'll find some other school to be a fan of. I'm no fan of Bo Pelini, and would not be able to get myself to be one.
I don't like him either. But there are a few reasons why I would want him.
1. If he wants to become a big time coach again, he has to start from scratch. No mediocre-to-great P5 school is going to take a chance on him. He's going to have to take over a **** program and turn it around, or move on to a new "elite" team from a bad conference and prove he can keep winning there.
He wouldn't be here long. He'd have his time to prove he can win or not, and then he's done.
2. Knows how to recruit. Look at some of the talent he had come out of Nebraska.
3. Knows how to win. Which is most important, now.
Really his only issue is he typically doesn't have those amazing offenses that you see in the Big 12 but if he could get the right people he'd be fine.
If anything, Iowa State football would be fun again. For at least a year or two.
Looks good from that read - I also like the coach at Utah but know nothing about him.
Your guy is just 40 and I like that though.
