Just spent an hour or so drinking a couple beers and reading up on Stitt and honestly, I love this choice! It might be a bit tough since he's only been at Montana a season. . . .

I agree, that's tough to do, no doubt. I think we have to try though. Yeah the schedule is tough but Rhoads proved that all you have to do is win 5-7 games here and you'll start getting big time offers. With our facilities and fan support, if we can "springboard" a few coaches it wouldn't seem like such a graveyard and hopefully we eventually get one to stick.
Bring Les Miles back to the Big 12. ISU is much different then when he coached against us. (only semigotta start big!) What is the worst that can happen, he says no?
Calling it, it will be Les Miles. We have the best natural grass in America, it sells itself!
Known Rob a long time, good guy and hasn't had a losing season since 1992, but is 63 and may be ready to retire.
Just spent an hour or so drinking a couple beers and reading up on Stitt and honestly, I love this choice! It might be a bit tough since he's only been at Montana a season, but it would be worth throwing the checkbook at it. From my research, it looks like he is making $175,000 this year plus a potential $50k bonus. If we went in and offered him like $1.5mill + incentives we'd still be giving him a huge raise to come over as well as save us a bit of money until he proves himself at this level in this conference.
I love his style. I love his offense. I love his personality and how much family means to him. I just think he'd be a great fit for Ames, Iowa and Iowa State University. Plus, I don't seem him bolting for the first job offer that comes if he were successful here. You don't stay at Colorado School of Mines for 15 years if you're looking to bolt. LOL!
Loved watching his press conference intro at Montana. Great personality and a fun guy that just wins. He gets my vote as of today!

He say's yes, and then no, and then yes again, and then no, and then yes but tanks the program even worse by leaving after 1.5 years with 4 total wins.
ISU Football's Johnny Orr. Late career change from major program to low program. Large personality. Your post makes me think we've moved up from a 0% chance to a .0000001% chance of getting him!
