New OC announced on

[jakemcilroy]

This is huge. It should really help season ticket sales too.

 

[scyclonekid]

I was all about Paul Rhoades being our new head coach. With all these great assistants to back him I think Iowa State football is going to be okay. Way to go and welcome to the Cyclone family Coach Herman!!! Excited to have you here:yes: Go Cyclones baby!!!

 

[CycloneErik]

Another reason to send ol' Gene a thank-you card.

 

[CycloneErik]

Now do we start the thread about all the other names we "could have had?"

McLaughlin-style: "No, the correct answer is that we have a wonderful coach, and he is making fantastic hires! Let's get behind this Coach Rhoads!"

 

[j4state]

PR has thoroughly impressed me with this staff. He must be getting some serious mileage out of that assistant coaches package unlike GC did. I'm very excited about this hire, as I am with the previous ones!

 

[MaxPower57]

Last year their tight end had 111 catches for 1300+ yards and TDs and their leading WR had 87 catches 1300+ yards and 20 TDs...wow

 

[CyinCo]

Awesome hire!

 

[2020cy]

Now Indy can lose and we get Tony Dungy for defensive coordinator.

 

[jakemcilroy]

Anyone else think JP opened the checkbook knowing this OC hire was important for various reasons (1. winning and 2. fan hope)?

 

[CrossCyed]

******* AWESOME

 

[benjay]

Solid hire. We need an OC who can utilize all of our weapons through the entire game, from RB's and TE's to WR's. Keep defenses guessing.

 

[ISUclones33]

Perfect, I would have shot something if Holgorsen was hired.

Im very content with Herman, Now lets keep MacFarland on staff for O line so he can help with the offensive responsibilities, because Rhoads is gonna be primarily defense.

 

[CyForPresident]

WOW. Rice's offensive stats are off the chart. Unbelievable hire. Our offense is going to be very, very, very good.

 

[kingcy]

Good hire. He is going to have fun with the WRs and RBs at ISU. Could be fun to watch. No will be fun to watch. How good of a recuiter is he? This staff is looking a bit better than Whiziks did at frist glance.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Perfect, I would have shot something if Holgorsen was hired.

Im very content with Herman, Now lets keep MacFarland on staff for O line so he can help with the offensive responsibilities, because Rhoads is gonna be primarily defense.

How receptive do you think our current offensive players are going to be with this hire?

Probably don't have much info right now with students still being on break, but what the hell, thought I'd ask.

 

[2020cy]

ISUclones33- Is there any indication McFarland will stay?

 

[mt85]

This is an awesome hire. This is exactly the type of offensive mind that ISU needs to be competitive in this league. Welcome aboard Coach.

 

[farmerbrent]

I'm starting to think Paul Rhoads has some pretty good connections and is well respected around the world of college football. I'm so over what's his name.

 

[cyclonepower]

HUGE GET!

“Now, it’s time to finish off the recruiting season with a flourish and then start teaching.”

I LOVE IT!!!
