Sounds appealing

UF has scored points off turnovers in 28 of the 37 games he has been the defensive coordinator.
UF has intercepted 53 passes in his three years as defensive coordinator, the fifth highest total in the nation during the last three years
Co-Defensive Coordinator for a Florida unit that improved in 14 statistical categories in 2005. Florida ranked ninth in the nation in total defense (299.8 ypg.) and 10th nationally in rushing defense (94.9 ypg.).
Instilled an aggressive, attacking scheme at Florida that forced 31 turnovers, tops in the SEC and ninth-best nationally and recorded 33 sacks - the 25th best total nationally and best at UF since 1999. UF's 337 yards on tackles for loss in 2005 was the best in school history since records were kept in 1983.
Florida's 31 turnovers resulted in 114 points or 34.3 percent of all UF's points - tops in the SEC. UF was third in the SEC in three and outs (35.3 percent of all opponent possessions).
 
Can someone tell me why the Gary Patterson name keeps coming up as a possible coach.

TCU has a better program than ISU. TCU is easier to recruit those Texas players.

Last year he turned down Minnesota after a 2 million dollar offer. ISU is not going to pay anyone 2 million and the Minnesota job is as good or better than the ISU job.

I guess I just don't understand why he would come to ISU?

Less than 1% chance. His wife is from Ames.
 
Why are we not thinking more about Paul Rhodes? He was a great coordinator at Auburn, who is FROM ANKENY!?! He has relatives that are either at ISU, or just have graduated from ISU in the last 3 years. He's got loyalties to the area. Sounds like a good hire to me...
