If that's the case (cocky/arrogant), I doubt if you have to worry about Pollard hiring him. I initially liked him when I heard about his relentless recruiting, but you guys are all talking me out of it. Which is fine.

Actually, Fleck is worse than Chiz, he took a position with NIU and then the very next day resigned and took a position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fleck is all hype and emotion and corny phrases and corny mottoes. It may work a little bit or for a while but seems quite high-schoolish. The more I study him, his tweets, his videos, his ego and the game that is on now, I don't think he'd be a good fit for us.
This is the exact opposite of what we need. Our football coaches customers are 16-18 year old kids, not 60 year old retires who like hard work. No, JUST NO.
ISU guy meaning choosing being nice over winning and valuing moral victories over actual results?
Why are people so worried about these guys leaving in a couple years? If they leave and the program is in better shape than when they got here, then WHO CARES? It's going to happen. We are not a destination program.
Really? I hadn't heard that. But I only know a couple WMU grads and they absolutely love him. I find him a tad ridiculous, but they seem to look past his broswagginess.
I didn't realize it was Fred that reached out to Minnesota. Posters always dropping knowledge.
Here's kind of a sampling of some of the attitudes toward Fleck from WMU fans (see comments at the end of the article):
http://www.mlive.com/broncos/index.ssf/2015/09/western_michigan_football_coac_10.html
because people are afraid their best friend will move to another school and they won't have anyone to play with at recess!
ISU's fanbase places more importance on "values" than wins (jackoff motion)
Really doesnt happen all the time 2 WEEKS BEFORE SIGNING DAY unless somehow the kids has a change of heart. If its so frequent why are sooooooo many coaches in favor of an early siging period so they dont have to baby sit kids after they are already commited. Face it its not a common practice and lack integrity. The only tme i have heard of it so close to signing day is when the kid gets in trouble arrested of something which is understandable.
Comments on articles like that are always terrible. I would put no thoughts into them.
That is the big if. Fleck would likely be worse than Chizik in that regard.
The other candidates, sure, hope they come in and have success. If they leave after that, who cares.
Not that I agree with this, but out of curiosity...
Navy (-9) vs ISU
Toledo (-5) vs ISU
Air Force (-0.5) vs ISU
Georgia Southern (pick'em) vs ISU
Northern Illinois (+1.5) vs ISU
Western Michigan (+3) vs ISU
Buffalo (+13) vs ISU
If today's Navy-Houston game is any indication how Navy's coach would fare against the spread teams of the Big 12, then I'll pass.
Houston is up 45-24, and Navy has no chance to make a game out of it because they don't really throw the ball. If we were to run the triple option in the Big 12, we had better hope we don't get down early because it's ballgame. And I'm not confident we can stop Big 12 offenses from scoring.
We are going to need a much more balanced attack. I agree we need to run more than pass, but we will need to have a passing game too if we ever need to come back in games.

I wouldn't want to make a complete judgement on one game. If you judged ISU on their game against Texas only you would have thought that the team was gonna go bowling.
