Hope our DC isn't coming from either Cal or Air Force - they have given up 21 & 35 respectively in the first half.

Well we don't have a DC yet so that means our DC is still coaching during a bowl game. 1) it must be someone familiar with Iowa State 2) has been a DC for a P5 team. 3) has Coached strong defenses 4) can recruit the south I see one candidate that fits all of these. Gene Chizik come on down!!!! Time to redeem yourself. Time to get firmly entrenched again!
Holding out for Danny Mac or CPR or Gene. Gene looked so funny in the booth during the Baylor game. He was pulling all the bells and whistles and getting body slammed at the sane time.

Poor Gene. Baylor slams him with half their offense.

Speaking of MichSt, was that a butt kicking or what? Can't believe how good Alabama is on defense.

I would be thrilled if Campbell could convince Randy Hart to return to Iowa Sate to finish his career. I am not aware of any connection to CMC other than both having strong roots in the state of Ohio football.


Hart can't have many years left in coaching, but he appears to still be going strong at Stanford. It would be almost impossible to find a coach who is better respected or who has more recruiting contacts than Hart. The draw for him would be an opportunity to return to the DC position and getting back to his Midwest roots. He had a reputation for being aggressive when he coordinated defenses. In his previous time at ISU, he helped Earle Bruce build the best era ever in ISU football. It would be awesome if he could help Campbell regain that level of success at ISU.

Nice, but i suspect he retires out in Palo Alto. So what is the current theory on DC? A year has passed.

I just called Matt and threw my name in the hat. With my extensive middle school and high school experience I'm sure I will be a finalist. I did drive by Mount Union atleast ten time in the last 20 years. After reading this board, I drew up a 1-3-7 defense. Rationale being we can't recruit good linemen anyway and Texas offers allot of 2 star defensive backs who would sign with ISU. My motto will be "stop the pass running yards don't matter". I expect to name a couple of the most negative posters as special assistants in charge of troll control . They will be paid with thumbs ups and an autographed picture of the singer in the new ISU theme song released today on this site. I'm one of Matt's guys so I'm sure it will work out. GO ISU!
