Ah, I see. Selectively give credit to head coaches when it fits your argument and when it doesn't, give the credit to the assistant coaches.

I agree; I will be somewhat apprehensive with an Assistant Coach, unless he's from a marquee program.
Same here, this has been my guy. Say you can keep Grayer, Nurse and Otz you would have three pretty good recruiters and Nurse would be a great in-game coach on the bench.
Most high school coaches and parents of players had already heard of Larry's reputation as a jerk-face and steered kids away from Iowa State. We blew an opportune time to finally get great High School talent all because of Larry's rep.
The only thing left for Larry to recruit was JUCO's with dysfunctional behavioral issues, poor grades, a few illegit kids and some with arrest records.
Credit is being given where credit is due. The evidence speaks for itself. Plus, you are welcome to ask Stinson and Blalock (among others) who was primarily responsible for their recruitment to ISU.
I'm talking specifically about the 18 kids LE offered, who never made it to campus, AFTER the success he had with Floyd's student-athletesGreat way to think back on old players that took the program to a special place.
He won some games at Grand View many years ago. Recently, and much more relevant to the situation, he's also been very successful with D-Leaguer's, many of whom are players fresh from college.
Yeah, the guy has been under Izzo for 7 years +..... a very good program over there. I think he would be excellent at ISU.....a good start at a BCS school for him..... (and Izzo isn't going anywhere for a while.)
My top 3
Greg Gard-Wisconsin style would work well in Big 12. Great recruiter in Minnesota i.e. Jon Leuer and Jordan Taylor. Well respected and a good coach. Meticulous when it comes to details.
Paul Lusk-Purdue assistant-Family ties in Iowa. Hard worker. Very personable. Gets the most out of his players. i.e. Created a monster in Jajuan Johnson.
Josh Pastner-Memphis-This is a stretch, but may want a piece of a big time conference. Tireless worker, man of his word, and amazing recruiter.
Know all 3 guys and would jump at the opportunity to have any of them as a head coach at ISU!

From that list, my top three would be;
1) Gregory
2) Montgomery
3) Randy Rahe
I actually hung out a bit with Mark Montgomery when I was going to grad school at Central Michigan. One of my best friends was a manager for the basketball team while Montgomery was an assistant coach there. Cool guy. I know he wants to be a head coach and is chomping at the bit.

Yeah, I gotta agree here...
If LE, was lighting it up in the Southland, sure give him an interview. But this is a chance for JP to make a solid shot to retirement (for himself) with a "very good" hire. The opportunities are out there, I just pray we land a great one... and welcome back Hilton Magic!
