So you want a New Jersey Coach with NO ties to the Midwest or Iowa or areas where we traditionally recruit to? You want a Big City Eastern Coach?
LOL. Glad you are not in charge of Coaching searches. Schiano would NOT be a good fit at all for Iowa State. NO.
That's what everyone said about Belichick after he left Cleveland. People can learn from their mistakes. Not saying Schiano is a viable option, just saying that maybe now he's a better coach than the disgraced hardass who got fired from Tampa.
Rhoads......I still like the hire of a midwestern-rooted person who will stay here. Herman....bad hire in hind site. He was never going to stay with us. The chain reaction of his short stint was CPR's demise. Head coach AND assistants need to be vested in Iowa to stay. I would like to see Ben Bruns on the next staff. Need more smart guys who go into coaching for the money and less dumb coaches who fell into it because they can't do anything else.
I would not advocate for Schiano AT ALL, but to be fair, a very large portion of his Rutgers players were from Florida where we do recruit heavily. Though his flame out at Tampa Bay may nullify some of that.
Glad to see you are finally moving on from cherry-picking records from random seasons. Maybe there is hope for you. Again, could there be better fits? Sure, but he is better than bringing Rhoads back. BTW, he recruited Florida heavily, and it is all about evaluation. You have to identify good players that local schools do not want.

Let's not forget about the defense who cost him at least 3 wins by letting down the offense and allowing game winning drives after he previously lead them down to score. QBs are not the only players on the field.
Ok, Stormin...who is the good fit for ISU... If you were in charge of Coaching search, who is your man??
I want a guy that would win here. Schiano won at Rutgers and got guys prominent roles on NFL teams like Ray Rice and Muhammad Sanu. Give me 1 legitimate reason why he would be a bad hire. I want winners. I don't care where they are from. I just want to watch a team that I feel has a chance in most game they play in, and I want to support a team that doesn't come out flat after bye weeks and bowl games. It can't be that hard to find a coach like that, plenty of teams have that. If Duke can have a football team then why can't we?
stop it. Harbaugh is NOT coming here. No one from the NFL or a head coach of a mac team is coming here, we're at the stage where we can't afford a sexy hire, you pull a WTF hire, and hope it works out, Like fred.
Tom Herman!
I understand people wanting to get obscure people but how would a coach from D3 jump right into ISU's schedule?

What Midwest ties did CPR have? Have we loaded up on players from Pennsylvania? Alabama? Those are where CPR had coaching ties to. Its a mute point, Schiano would never end up here. He'll sneak back in to college, pry at a big 10 school.
My only preference for a new guy would be that he's an offensive coach. Offense wins right now in college football and a school lacking tradition needs to find a coach who can find ways to be creative and unconventional, at least at first to help build a program. Although we don't bring in great recruits, our higher rated recruits are typically offensive skill position guys, we need a coach that can build around those type of recruits.
I'd call Sean Kugler. Not sure he'd be interested as he is now the head coach at his alma mater. But in year 2, UTEP is one of the most improved teams in cfb.
Nice website.... how old is it? Paul Chryst is not the OC at Wisky and hasn't been for a while. And Bollman isn't the OC at Ohio State.
Frost would be a home run hire, Midwest guy with a great resume I don't think he'll be around by the time we're hiring.
Must be a couple of years.. Has Chow as OC... I looked at top of page and thought it was updated
