Yea, that last Buffalo to Big XII move worked out well...no thanks.
Not interested in Tony Alford as head coach either. We got to watch Paul make 7 years worth of mistakes learning on the job. Hire someone that has experience running a program. If he fits as a coordinator, great.
Matt Campbell or Bob Stitt are IMO the best options out there. Toledo under Campbell has had RB get 1100+ yards every year. He has been an OL coach for years. Stitt is obviously an offensive genius.
Iowa State can't survive running some up tempo spread system. Our recruiters can't go into Texas convincing spread QBs and WRs to come up to Ames, they'll be the 7th or 8th option at best. ISU can build linemen from the upper midwest, and convince talented RBs in Texas they'll get the rock 25-30 times a game here. Turn ISU into a team that punishes its opponents.
