10 years from now...

[CPRsavedMYlife]

I think it will be CPR, and only CPR. One of two things will happen with Gill. He will either jump to Nebraska, when Pelini leaves to replace Tressel at tOSU, or he will learn the hard way that The Big 12 isn't the MAC. Tubberville hasn't coached a game yet, and is already putting his foot in his mouth, and I'm not convinced that his coaching style will work in the Big 12, with more emphasis on defense, that's why NU is no longer as relevant as they were in the 90s, before the power in the conference shifted south.

 

[cyguytillidie]

I 100% agree with everything you just said there. Tuberville is already on thin ice and baring a collapse at KU Turner Gill is already the next coach for the Cornhuskers.

Of those 3 it would most likely be PR. However, if CPR can string together 3-4 seven to eight win seasons in a row I am not sure he will still be here. I don't think we can pay him enough to match what other schools would offer him.

 

[CycloneNC2015]

I totally agree. I dont think Gill is much of a coach. Sure he took a MAC team to a bowl, but its the MAC it cant be that hard to get 6 wins especially when 3 of your games will be OOC cupcakes. He also got looked over for a few jobs before getting the Kansas job, there must be something there that others didnt like. I think KU fans are expecting the undoable out of him and he likely wont succeed and will be gone within 10.

Pelini wont likely last 10 more years at NU because Tressel will leave tOSU or because the nebbies will get ruffled feathers if he doesnt win 10 games every year. I bet he is close to being on the hot seat already after all the close losses last year. After Pelini is gone Gill will just move north.

Tubberville.........LOL, I am surprised Boss Deloss hasnt fired him already. Friendly advise for Tubby, keep you mouth shut, eyes to the floor and start and end every sentence with Sir. Welcome to the Texas league.:wink:

If he dooes that, we need to do anything and everything we can to pay him what the big boys will.

I dont think he would leave. He has stated this is his dream job. After his reaction after the NU game last year I believe him.

If it was Chizik that was able to string together 3-4 seven or eight win seasons, I would agree, but I think this is CPR's dream job. With that said, we are in an era where money is more important than loyalty, I just think CPR is above that mentality.

I would hope CPR would stay if successful but I don't see ISU matching 4-5 million a top tier (ND, Tex, OSU, etc) could offer.

If he could put together 3-4 eight to nine win seasons I don't see him leaving. He is at his dream job right now and he doesn't come off as a guy that is driven by the money part only the success part. He wants to raise his family here and even without an extra $1.5 to $2 million he could get somewhere else by doing this his family will still be financially secure here and happy.

ISU is CPR's dream job. He is the obvious, and most logical, choice, even if he exceeds expectations.

 

[cyclonenum1]

How typical of an ISU fan...overly worried about retaining a coach. Totally misguided priority.

Frankly, I really could not care less who is our coach in ten years as long as we have experienced great success...bowls regularly, national rankings regularly, and a BCS bowl or two...between now and then.

I think it is way too early to be giving Gill the NU job let alone the KU job in five years from now. The fact is that Gill hasn't coached a down of Big XII football. We can't know anything about him until after his first full season.

That said, I don't think that there is any way Pellini turns down tOSU if offered but I can see Sweater Vest being there for more than ten more years if they'll have him.

 

[isuno1fan]

For that matter, I don't think KF will be at Iowa in 10yrs.

 

[Cyched]

I dont think he would leave. He has stated this is his dream job. After his reaction after the NU game last year I believe him.

I feel the same way too. And it's the same reason I believe that in 10 years we will have seen a good amount of success and will be retaining him.

After the misguided firing of Mac followed up by the Cheezdick incident I think we have reason to worry.

I couldn't disagree more with this statement. Nebraska was dominant in the 90's in large part because of their defense. When Callahan came in, he virtually ignored the defensive side of the ball and focused his recruited the glamour positions on the offensive side. We all know how that worked out for him.

In Pelini's short time in Lincoln, he has really focused on building the defense back up, because he knows that's how you win games and championships. Last year their offense was pretty terrible (outside of a few games), and they still won 10(?) games.

UT has been a 1-man offensive show the past few years, yet they are very successful thanks to their defense.

If Tuberville can elevate TTU's defense to be in the top 3rd of the conference, and they put up offensive numbers comparable to their standards, they could be a very tough team to beat.

 

[farmertim]

The obvious answer is CPR. Hopefully this new TV money that is supposed to be coming in the next couple of years will allow ISU to pay him top tier money if he has a lot of sucess, which I fully expect him to.

Callahan's DC at Nebraska was Cosgrove. I believe he was at Wisconsin prior to that, and they have been good defensively since Alvarez took over. I know he is at Minnesota now, and I admittedly don't watch much Minnesota football, but their defense didn't look terrible in the Insight Bowl.

With that said, you are correct, Callahan as a head coach put more emphasis on the offensive side, but the Cosgrove is a solid DC, IMO.

 

[cloneu]

I don't see Gill or Tuberville staying past 5 years. They will either not perform and get fired or do well and both leave.

After the misguided firing of Mac followed up by the Cheezdick incident I think we have reason to worry.

You cannot be serious.

McCarney was allowed to muddle around at ISU far too long. He lost about the same percentage of games during his 12 years as we lost during the 12 years of Criner and Walden. The only difference was that we played in a lousy Big 12 North during most of McCarney's years and that the universe of bowls expanded dramatically during McCarney's years. There is a reason he is only the d-line coach at Florida.

By the way, the hiring of Chizik was roundly agreed to be a great hire for ISU at the time...his second year was alarming to me but I think he got the program moving in the right direction overall.

If I was grading...McCarney D+/C- and Chizik Incomplete.
