I found it interesting that JP said that this program is at a point where someone can take it to another level or set it back and the AD back a decade. I'm paraphrasing. This is a terrible reason to want someone but one appealing thing about Frost is he would most definately change our Unis. Stitt to me is actually a safer hire than most I've heard besides maybe Frtiz..Stitt is an offensive guru I don't think there any doubting that..but Frost to me seems to be a guy that would have an easier time recruiting to Ames than either candidate. I can see Frost hitting the big red state hard and owning it with Nebraska so down. Hiring Frost would really **** off the huskers as a lot of their fans wanted Frost. I do think all 3 interview though.
The wild card here is Leath. He might just offer to bring some funds to the table to get a name nobody would have thought of. In the end...money talks.

I'm a heavy Frost lean at this point. I see the most upside here. OC'ing at Oregon =/> being an HC at some crap conference school like GA Southern/Montana/Toledo/Bowling Green
I'm not familiar with Illinois, but we won't have better facilities than Maryland. At least once they finish their 155 million dollar indoor practice field. That Under Armor money is going to push them near the top of food chain in facilities.
What at are we going for? JP looking like teddy Roosevelt or planter peanut? Planter would be easier probably.
Seriously, outside of the hardcore isu guys, who would guess JP to be an AD at a major university. Most would think cpa or irs worker probably.

Interestiiiiiiiiiing! Please post any information about this that arises. Grill your friend without mercy! <g>
Honestly, our uniforms are pretty solid. In fact, our road unis are very good. I wouldn't be opposed to some of the renderings with the "Trice Stripe" that have been shown on here, which look sharp, but getting different ones just to be different will have us end up getting some cobbled together Pro Combat rejects that look exactly like what they are, a non-elite school trying to jump on the Oregon bandwagon 15 years too late.
Because everyone is risk averse. He is different does things differently. In other words exact what isu needs. It may fail and we may need to try a few crazy ideas before we get the right one but we need outside the box here.
As someone who watches Oregon football and has done so most of my life I have not been impressed with Frost at all, in fact he makes more questionable play calls then any Rhoads OC other than Messingham. Of any of the possible candidates he would be the least desirable imo.
Lol at the people talking crap about Ames. Uh, you live in Missoula, Montana. A city the same size as Ames, except in Montana. Don't act like Missoula is oceanside in Southern Cal or Florida.
I don't blame them for smack-talk, it's likely indicative of fear; a need to convince themselves ISU wouldn't interest their coach.
Intimately familiar with Illinois' facilities. Pretty equal except Illinois has better amenities for the high rollers. Champaign Urbana is a better community BY FAR over Ames, IMO.
