    You forgot Barnett's number one quality - he's a Mizzou alum! Honestly, I think he'd be a great hire for the Cyclones. A home run of a hire. However, I can understand the trepidation associated with hiring a man who lost his last job because of a lack of institutional control.

    And that's a perfectly reasonable position, in my opinion. I've written several times that my very favorite thing about Pinkel is his devotion to running a clean program. Seriously, wins are great and I'm happy to get them, but Pinkel runs a program of which this alum can be proud. This view...

    Barnett would require a lot of vetting, but he's a heck of a coach and might be worth it. What was it? Four north titles in seven years? Some of your "facts" have been refuted, by the way. Still, perception is king and one should tread lightly here. From what I've read here, Pollard is a man...

    Phillip Fulmer interested per Cotlar

    Another benefit to hiring Fulmer is I'd imagine there'd be heavy investment in the ISU facilities. Even if he only coaches in Ames for five years, he'd leave the program in much better condition. Also, if he takes the job (I know, I'm getting ahead of myself) it would necessarily show a...

    He turned it down last weekend after it was reported he was going to take it.

    Phillip Fulmer interested per Cotlar

    Re: Phillip Fulmer Fulmer went to the SEC Championship game just last year. He's a total bumpkin, but has proven he can coach. Also, Tennessee's defense was outstanding this year and his DC is currently jobless. I understand that Miles may hire him, though. If Chavis comes with Fulmer...

    Good information. One thing Hill has done with Fresno State it to turn the football program from an academic laughingstock to one of the best academically in the WAC. I do believe he had ethics in spades. From what you're saying, he probably believes there is a right way to do things, and he...

    I recalled reading that about UW's facilities - how does that happen? Anyway, surely they'll invest in them. Sarkisian seems like the kind of guy who would not have gone there without some assurances. How do the ISU facilities (stadium, practice, workout, coaching quarters, etc.) stack up...

    Hill would be a pretty decent hire. I agree with the qualities you note, plus if you've been to Fresno, you know it can't be easy to recruit there. As far as attractive locales in California, Fresno isn't near the top. Also, Pat Hill is well-respected in the coaching field and should be able...

    Thanks. I wrote that from the heart (and kidding about UNI - I actually watched that game this past weekend and became infatuated with the concept of the UNIDome.) A lot of good names being thrown around here. I read here that someone on ESPN is suggesting that the move from Buffalo to...

    2 Wins, Really!? What was wrong with Cyclones Football 2008?

    That's just crazy talk. Mizzou beat all the North teams handily. There's nothing beatable about Mizzou from a North perspective.... Hope I'm singing that tune come about 3 pm Saturday....

    anyone else see it? Pinkel?

    Wow, you think the Big 12 is that bad? My mind would boggle if that was even a game - the Big 10 just looks so bad. Lots of black/gold, though. What's the o/u on A Robinson's yards tomorrow? I'll put it at 149 - his career high.

    anyone else see it? Pinkel?

    Yes, but Mizzou's defense is #1 in the North by such a long way - the fact that our young guys are outplaying the seniors bodes very well for future success. #1 in conference play in yards/play against. CU and KU are next from the North and they're 6th. #2 in conference play in scoring...

    anyone else see it? Pinkel?

    I don't think there's much of a chance of a steep dropoff (partially because the young guys play so much right now and partially because the North isn't that competitive), but I understand why those not as familiar with the program think that. Some of it depends on what's a "steep" dropoff...

    anyone else see it? Pinkel?

    I guess I can see why others would be surprised by this, but we Mizzou fans are happy about it. Most of us are. Please remember just how terrible Mizzou football was for so very long. Some guy comes along and turns us into a winner? He's going to get paid. Plus, I don't buy that Chase...

    Big 12 North v. South

    Seems a lot of Cyclones were in fact interested. The numbers are objective and interesting to all Big 12 football fans - you can just ignore the assumptions if you'd like. I wouldn't say they were "without support," though. I actually agree somewhat about OU. If you look at the drop in...

    Because you're in the Big 12. Right? That's right, isn't it?
