Sad news to report on your Sunday.

According to the @CycloneFB Twitter feed, longtime Iowa State assistant coach Bob Elliott has passed away. Elliott, age 64, coached at Iowa State during three eras under Donnie Duncan, Dan McCarney and also Paul Rhoads.

Elliott, who was most recently at Nebraska, had fought cancer for the better part of the last two decades, all while doing what he loved.

For a very nice recap of Elliott’s life and career as a coach, take a look at this link courtesy of our friends at the Des Moines Register.

On behalf of the Cyclone Nation, rest in peace, coach.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
