What about Frost makes you believe he can succeed here? Not trying to be mean, just don't see what anyone else does other than he's at Oregon, and is young.

Not clean cut enought I guess. Probably too brash and not old school enough. Amazing.
What makes you think he can't? Connections in the Midwest for recruiting and is an innovative offensive mind. I'm not saying hire the guy but at least give him a ******* interview.
So basically all of the candidates being discussed here seem to be legit candidates? That's pretty cool. I've been impressed with the level of discussion and realism here over the past few days.
I'm not on the Tony Alford bandwagon but I don't know that much about him. But I'd take any of those sitting head coaches here.

I highly doubt he would leave Navy, he has turned down better jobs in the past to stay. He does fit JP's religious requirement. I kid you not but he claims God tells him when to take timeouts and called certain plays, he said it in an interview.
Really? We have a list full of established head coaches on the list. If you are talking about Frost, I'm sure Pollard will at least talk to his camp.
And people thought no one would want this job and we'd end up with a position coach....
If that's the reason why you don't want Leipold then you can't possibly want Matt Campbell. Do you realize how awful Tim Beckman was at Illinois? It was a disaster.
I'm not sold on Frost. He's done a good job maintaining the offense at Oregon, but he's never really had to build one himself. I'd like to see head coaching experience, preferably with a team that's found a way to win with less advantages than their peers. Having Nike money at a place like Oregon doesn't exactly prepare you to recruit to ISU.
The Oregon fans don't love him, but we didn't love Herman, so what the hell do fans know?
Nebraska didn't think he was ready last year and picked a guy who has them at 5 wins with 1 to go. That says something.
I don't know why, I find myself intrigued with Fritz. Think maybe he could be our football program's "Johnny."
Is that fair without knowing whats all been happening behind the scenes? Not debating whether Frost would be a good guy for the job or not, but don't you think its quite possible that JP and those who help him with these things, plus ISU higher ups that weigh in on things like this, just might have insisted he only considers someone who's already had 'head' coaching experience? I don't know one way or the other if thats a necessary trait of our next hire, but several ISU people have already said they didn't want to follow a coordinator (Rhoads when he came) with another coordinator.
