Phil Montgomery would be great. As long as we could find a rock star DC to come with him. His defense has been unproven.
Next coach options?
- Thread starter ojoe2317
- Start date
PJ Fleck would be an ideal option. I know Illinois fans want him there. He's young and a very strong recruiter.
I hope we rip the BandAid off quickly and get someone hired. Sooner the better then they can get on with recruiting quickly.
Les Miles is going to be fired at LSU. They are tired of him and today's loss likely solidifies it. He knows the Big 12 well as former Okie State coach. He coaches a traditional style of football that we need to embrace and have finally started to this season. You never know what he's going to do and we would play to win instead of our famous play to lose.
We might be able to get him at a reasonable price as a Power 5 school offering him immediately upon being fired.
I'm half joking. I don't know if he's a good fit for Ames.

Of course Les Miles would be great but I think he'll have better options available to him. Missouri and South Carolina could probably pay more and give him a chance to stay in the SEC but move to the easier East.
I haven't seen his name thrown around but Todd Monken might be someone to consider. I don't know a lot about him, but he's turned Southern Miss around from an 0-12 season three years ago to playing for a division title next week. He's from the midwest and has Big 12 experience (OC for oSu's 2011 team). I get the same feeling about him as I had about Justin Fuente last year.
Why is that? We have talent- young talent. We have a great indoor facility, brand new weight room, brand new locker room, new huge hd jumbo trons, great stadium, and unreal fan base. Why isn't that attractive?
Because you get to play 10 Power 5 teams every year and are 1000 miles away from most of the high school talent.
I highly doubt South Carolina would hire him, but I agree that Mizzou would be an interesting job for him to take over.
Left the boards for a while to get some work done. I come back & Rhoads hasn't been fired yet??? God damn it Jamie, pull the ******* trigger.
I'd like to see the opposite of McCarney & Rhoads: a pro style offensive minded coach with head coaching experience, ties to the Midwest, but absolutely no previous affiliation to Iowa State. This program is psychologically cursed. Losing so many close games has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Every time we lose momentum, the hand wringing begins and everyone starts expecting the worst. It's ******* incredible. It doesn't happen to anyone else like it happens to ISU, and someone needs to come in and ******* BREAK that mentality. Punch back for ******'s sake.

Whoever gets the job, I'll be exceedingly happy and excited as it's not CPR. I have confidence in Leath to find the right guy. You only gotta look to basketball and see Leath overruling Pollard to hiring Prohm over Otz. Pollard hires whoever is his friend or will be his friend. **** that ****. Give me an ******* winner
We need anybody that can retain Lanning Lazard Warren Tucker etc and not also be named Paul Rhoads
