I'm sure there are coaches that think of Iowa State the exact same way...
Now I'm sad.
While I agree with CyVader and BigSag but I think it is premature to compare our offensive line to the Stanford offensive line. I agree it would be nice to get there and to a Pro Style attack as a way to recruit players that are not experienced in the spread offense and it gives us a way to give us any kind of advantage in recruiting(if that is possible right now) since there are tons of spread teams out there.
I liken it back to the 90's when Troy Davis was running the ball 40 times a game - everyone on the field knew it was coming - but we had 5 guys that would put a helmet on a body and "make it personal"
While I agree talent wise we are setup to run a more power run style (more of a power spread) I don't think that is the style Mangino really wants to run. That's why I don't think going to Lanning is great. He is farther from what Mangino wants.
I don't know about Miami's facilities, but ISU does not pay more. Miami pays not so well. And ISU pays even worse.
But they are in a large city in Florida, ISU is in a small city in Iowa. These are 17 year old kids remember.
Probably 6? You really think N Texas is worth a probably? I'm half kidding. I wouldn't say Illinois quite yet..they might make a bowl and they were not picked to be very good this year.

Former Cyclone Derron Montgomery was a WR coach at Miami last I knew. I hope he gets a shot to stay on with the new coach.
EDIT: Derron is a WR coach at Michigan now. Fun fact - his father is the Philadelphia Eagles all-time leading rusher.

Sorry, I don't get the point of starting a thread on this...... You are now saying because of our lack of relevance we should just give up on getting a new coach, or at least one that matter. You say you are a fan, then you turn around an bash the program indirectly by throwing the pecking order crap, how does a new thread here help anything????

Not sure how recognizing a pecking order is bashing the program in any way. That's just observing how things work.
Opening another thread on the subject makes no sense to me.... Plus I don't understand how this is productive talk at all, each coaching option is situational anyway, just an annoying conversation that has plenty of threads about.....
The buyout isn't the issue...it won't matter one bit if he's fired this year or after next year..we are talking a difference of $750,000 per year. It's nothing. The loss in ticket sales if CPR is here next year could equal a loss of $3-$4 million easy.
The other thing to consider is over half the assistants are in their final year of their two year contract.

CPR's buyout has to be paid in a lump sum of $750k x (# of years left on contract). He's signed through 2021. That's $4.5 million right there. So if ticket sales are a loss of $3-4 million...
Miami fans are funny. They have a bunch of rich alumni and a lot of rich people in Miami but they don't donate to the AD or buy tickets but they will spend thousands of dollars to have airplanes fly around with Fire Coach Blah blah for every home game.
Danny Kannell (Sp?) was on Mike and Mike this morning BASHING Miami on the topic of facilities. He reiterated the same point Curt said - they don't have an on-campus stadium and they have to bus students to/from games, they don't upgrade their facilities (which are a joke) and they don't spend money to get the right head coach.
Even when you think about it, their Men's basketball coach is Jim Larrinaga (sp?) who has turned out to be a great hire with a low price tag.
