Next Coach Possibility (just putting this out there)
- Thread starter Psyclone Brian
- Start date
Hate to break it but I think with all of this movement at higher level jobs this season (South Carolina, USC, Maryland, Illinois-we are lateral with them at best, and possibly Texas) I just have a hard time believing we will let Paul go knowing the market will be slim pickens. Not that I agree with it but I can see JP waiting and this is the reason.
I still think CPR can turn it around (flame away) but if not here are my top choices
1. Pelini
2. Fuentes
3. Stitt
4. Kendall Briles
5. Matt Campbell
Only realistic one is probably Campbell and even then, I doubt it

Why would that matter? We shouldn't even be looking in the same candidate pool as those schools.

Dognuts back on the straight and narrow after the purge. No one is fooled bro.
Yuck! Not because hewas a bad coach (he absolutely wasn't, definitely top half of the Big 10) but because we have enough coaches on our staff as it is that never achieved the same level of success as they did in the past. Was and Is are two very different things and the second one is ultimately what matters. I'll take an up and coming HC from a smaller program who has experience under a legendary coach (e.g. coach from the Briles tree) than a washed up coach who had success, and is now in a position to milk out a retirement at ISU.
I don't think we should be different for difference sake...but look around, what do we have an abundance of around here, HUGE FARM BOYS. We should have a top tier OL at all times, we must make it the focal point of ISU football and whatever that means for the rest of the offense so be it.
I don't care if you're trolling I'm 100% for this.
There is a huge difference between working because you enjoy something and want to keep yourself busy (or to get your son a job and jump start his coaching career) vs working because you are trying to build your own career. He was making 3 mil a year for like 7 years and had what...a 7.5 mil dollar contract buyout? Point is he doesn't really have to work if he didn't want to. I'm not implying that Bo is that kind of person (that may take this job less seriously because he can afford to do that now, losing the job won't be the end of the world for him), but suggesting that the possibility is not worth the risk.
I'm not sure youth is all that important but what is important is someone who wants to put their imprint on something a la Bill Snyder and Barry Alvarez. In a sense I think they had something to prove but also had the intention of staying where they proved it. Who is our BS/BA?

The look on the girl's face is priceless - shocked Pelini is screaming at one of his players. There is a reason he is at Youngstown State instead of division 1.
Kind of like there is a reason that Rhoads/Mangino continue to troll out SR every week and play Lanning two snaps a game?
There's usually a reason, sometimes that reason is that people doing the reasoning are dumb.
Actually i believe the neighbors to the west would be happy to have Bo Pelini get a decent contract at ISU. I believe they get a credit on the buyout for what he earns elsewhere, and ISU would surely pay him more than Youngstown. That foul-mouthed maniac was an embarrassment to every self respecting Cornhusker fan I know. Terrible face of the program. Winning is NOT everything, and there's no guarantee he could recruit or win at ISU. After his history of eruptions, I was shocked Youngstown kept him after his secret departure speech to the Ne team was made public. He needs some years to prove he can control himself, and still recruit with his history, prior to being a serious candidate.
I'll stop being an ISU fan if Pellini is hired. Seriously. WTF is wrong with people on here? :realmad:
No chance at Fuente, he'll be on a lot of other teams short list.
Meachum is a DFW guy, I can't see him taking a head coaching gig at a school that he knows will not make him look good. Magee has said he's happy where he's at. Head coaching may not be in his plans.
The best one on the list IMO is Campbell, but with their success this year do you think ISU will be able to get him over the bigger schools that will go for him?
I would actually be for Hoke. He's a hard nosed, mean in the trenches, beat your man off the ball, running coach. He inherited a horrible team at Michigan from Rich Rod and lost out in recruiting when Meyer went to OSU. He proved he could win at San Diego St that's for sure. ISU already has a little bit of California flavor going in recruiting.
