My Son and I were chatting about when the time would come that a new Head Football Coach would needed we both agreed that who ever the hire it had to bring a level of excitement much like the Basketball program did a few years back, I mentioned Sage Rosenfels. It could be magic like when the Hoiberg was ask to become the cyclones Head Basketball Coach. (Former star Cyclone player, former NFL QB, with an offensive mindset).
We agreed that, like Fred he would have to hire wisely to look for that experienced guy ( like Doc Sadler was ) to help him for a few years. That said we ran with the idea and were placing new coaches every where. Like Seneca Wallace Offensive coordinator/QB coach...Troy Davis Running Back Coach..Ben Bruns Offensive Line Coach...ETC.

Now that you get my drift...thoughts??
 
I love Sage, but I disagree. Id be fine taking him as an assistant.

But we CANNOT take a gamble with this hire. If we have one more year of 1-11, etc, we will fall of the face of the college football map for a decade. We have to be relevant again, and fast. I think we have to go for a mid-major coach with proven success at the HC level, and who has recruited well to his MAC/C-USA team. Again I love Sage, but we cannot afford to take that gamble.

Fred was a 1 in a 100 shot. Not to mentinon Basketball is much easier to recruit to and build a program quickly. Football takes a complex set of dozens of coaches and staff members that all have to do the right thing.
 
No thanks. Hoiberg worked, but to think it will always work, especially in football, is wrong. Not to mention Hoiberg at least had front office experience in the NBA. Now, Im all on board for Sage being a QB coach...
 
I don't understand why people have to be such elitist dicks when a newer member with a low post counts tries to interact with the community.

Talk about bad fellowship.

If he had gone the front office or coaching route, like Fred did, I would be all for it. Seems his heart was in media and broadcasting, however. Not the background I would want there.

Needs an experienced guy to help him out, but should hire Seneca Wallace, Troy Davis, and Ben Bruns. Makes sense to me.
 
How about we hire every former cyclone that played in the NFL? Would we even have enough for a full coaching staff?
 
I'd be fine with it. It's not the optimal but for the situation we're in, the only shot might be something completely new and untried. Pretty much every scenario I run ends up with some guy that ends up being Rhoads 2.0. The Sage scenario returns "this is so ******* crazy it just might work, or fail miserably", but at least it's not Rhoads 2.0.

I've realized we can't do the things that 95% of coaches out there do or have experience doing and be successful. We either need some insane recruiting strategy or we need some kind of insane gameplan or we need something that no one has ever seen before. Period.
 
Slide mangino up to HC and Sage at QB Coach, Troy Davis at RB, that would be pretty cool. Still would need a change defensively though.
 
The guy has no coaching experience. He doesn't even have front office experience like Fred did. I don't recall the coaches talking about his future in coaching either.

I don't want to be in the position of calling for him to be fired two years later. We don't have enough Cyclone football heroes as it is-- why would we put ourselves in the position of knocking one of them off the pedestal?
