How About Paul Rhoads to Pitt...?

Well that would be ideal but no chance

 

[cyfanatic]

Don't tease me!

 

[alarson]

Called it.

This rumor was swirling (with some legs from what I heard) the last time this job was open. My guess is not this time.

Paul Chryst has to be the front-runner, right? He hasn't shown too much at Pitt though.

In which case we could fire up the Rhoads to pitt rumor as well

We all knew Chryst would be the Wisky guy. This is a good opportunity, if not for Pitt, for us.

While still unlikely, it does seem more reasonable than Wisconsin.

I think Paul would have some interest this time. Not sure Pitt would.

If something like this happened, there would be roughly 50 new threads "Didn't see it posted yet but.."

Sorry but your thread would be forever bumped off the front page. Good effort though.

The Chiz and McDermott situations are so rare, it's crazy it happened to us twice, but it just doesn't happen often where a failing coach gets a lateral or promotion offer. I get why ISU fans throw this stuff out there since it happened to us twice, but it's a long shot. Take the Bielema to Ark thing, it was a lateral or slight downward move, but Ark wouldn't have brought him in if Wisc was thinking about firing him.

More likely Mangino to Pitt.

More likely Mangino to Pitt.

Agree. Good point.

I don't see Pitt being interested and I don't see how they sell it to boosters if they were. PR was their DC yet as a HC his last few defenses have been abysmal.

This seems more possible than Paul Rhoads to Wisconsin.

could easily throw guys like Earle Bruce, Tom Herman, Chris Ash, Bob Elliot in there too. Winning at Iowa State is seen as a tough thing to do.. no one outside of Iowa blames the guys who couldn't do it. (Rhoads..)

After Nebraska's hire, nothing would shock me.

Your right with regard to assistants (****, look at the assistants hall of fame we've built) but there's a limit if you're the HC. No one was beating down Dan's door at the end.

From what I saw in the other thread it looks like Pitt's AD is on thin ice. Does that make PR to Pitt more/less plausible? I honestly don't know...

Haven't heard much talk of the BDJ situation driving CFH to the pros so thought I would just post it here in the "Really ******* unlikely to happen" thread.

I could see Kirk Ferentz going to Pitt before I could see Rhoads going.

I guess there are examples in FB, but combine it with a REALLY out there happening in hoops and our fans just think it's too likely someone sees CPR's 2-10 season and comes asking him to be head coach.

In my lifetime...37 years, 5 coaches have won NCAA basketball games at ISU. 4 of the 5 won quite a lot of them. The one coach in my life at ISU who was by all measurements a failure somehow got a solid job offer, that's an oddity.
