    What shocked me the most...

    One thing that puzzles me about the money is how disproportionate the salary is compared to the other non-revenue sports. I am sure Penn St.'s womens basketball coach doesn't make that much. With Title IX, it has to be a consideration if you fund a non-revenue men's program at such a high level...

    ESPN writer says Kirk has no other option...

    I don't think he should kick his son off the team or off scholarship. Public intoxication and underage consumption should be handled internally whether it is Iowa, ISU, Indiana or USC. Every player is different and the coaching staff has to have some leeway in discipline.If the young man has a...

    MSU/ISU Game Thread

    Amazing game. I can't wait to take my daughter to Hilton. I really enjoy the way BF approaches the game. He reminds me quite a bit of Bob Knight in his approach. He has a core philosiphy that he works with but he can adapt to his players in terms of tempo and style.

    Principal employees

    My wife was laid off last fall. Another good friend who had been with the company saw what was coming about a year ago and took another position. I do know Principal is bloated in HR and in their spending in marketing. I really feel for everybody because it was a great place to work until the...

    Pat Hill....

    I think Pat Hill is an excellent coach but he has benefitted from Fresno State letting a lot of academically questionable kids into school. I have wondered if that is why he has not gotten a Pac 10 job in the past. His teams do play physical football on both sides of the ball and he will plays...

    Outsider's Perspective (Long)

    I would hope ISU could get a midwestern guy with some Iowa connection. This is job where you will have to be able to out "X and O" the other teams so I would want someone who doesn't come from a traditional power school, where you can rely on your talent being better than the other guys. Whether...

    Outsider's Perspective (Long)

    I am an Indiana grad who was raised in Iowa and returned to live here. Being a big football fan I have always followed ISU with some interest. One thing IU football and ISU football share is some of the fan base has a "woe is me" attitude regarding who would want to coach at each university...

    Gene Chizik Comments Rumor Thread

    I think this is a mountain out of a molehill. I love my job but are there times I've told people that is sucks? The answer is yes. I don't think Chizik would be human if he did not second guess himself about taking the job when times are tough. We all play the what if game from time to time. He...

    Brandt says Blythe to go high in draft (Meyer and Bowen metioned also)

    I love Bowen. I hope he gets a look with the right team. He's a kid who has a good motor and could stick around as a special teams player and passing package linebacker. I really don't think Blythe will have an NFL career. His route running is pretty suspect imo and he won't be able to get jump...

    ISU vs. Iowa: The Media

    One thing that I think is unique to ISU-Iowa is the number of people who say they root for the other team except for the rivalry game. Also the media talks about how it is all good fun etc. In the other rivalries I have familiarity with Indiana/Purdue and Kentucky/Louisville no fans even...

    Deace On Jon Miller Show Now

    If Chizik is taking a harder line I appluad him. To often I felt Mac was great at making excuses for the players without huge expectations placed on them. Chizik comes from more environments at Auburn and Texas where the attitude is win or walk. If Blythe buys into this it will only help him...

    Many forget...

    As a fellow sufferer (Indiana football fan) I think the point about first year coaches is right on. A first year head coach has to pick a staff, meet the players and has new priorities in terms of fans and promotions that an assistant does not have. No one know if Chizik will be a good coach or...

    How to get Blythe the ball?

    Not a flame, but one thing I hear from almost all ISU fans is the need to get Blythe the ball more. Is this the fault of the scheme or is Blythe an explosive but limited player? By that I mean are there only certain routes he runs well and most of those are down the field where he can use his...

    Deace & Millers Top Choice

    Jon Miller is the living embodiment of the Peter Principle. Who knows who will work out as the next coach. Like JJ4ISU said it's like recruiting. Three years from now, no one will care about the scuttlebutt, just the results.

    Next Coach

    I would like to see the new coach be someone who has experience running a spread offense or something which emphasizes quick reads. It is really hard to develop offensive linemen who are good run blockers and also capable of sustaining pass blocks long enough for deep drops. I also think it is...
