So who could we get?

[DesertClone1]

The Pirate himself. Mike Leach, why the **** not.

I could totally see Pollard picking some ex-player who has no coaching experience because it's worked with Fred. Though, it would backfire on him this time.

Need to get someone in here that's offensive minded, unlike the past 80 coaches at ISU.

 

[gocubs2118]

There's like 4 OC's at Baylor, pick one of them.

OK, you may be right, but what's the worst thing that could happen? He'd say "thanks but no thanks." So what?
My concern with Pollard is that he's not aggressive enough in coaching searches. He offers jobs to guys who he knows will take it. CPR was unemployed when Pollard offered him. Hoiberg said that he was just hoping for a second interview, but instead was offered the job on the spot. Said he assumed JP had other candidates to talk to first.

I agree, would take him in a heartbeat. I think we are going to have to gamble on someone that can prove themselves at ISU. BBall was different, Hoiberg knew ISU had and could be successful. It's just frustrating. We see many other schools (Boise State, Colo State, Baylor, Louisville, East Carolina, etc) with nothing more to offer than we have get it done.

Guess this is why Jamie gets the big $$$. How he handles CPR now and if that means a new coach will probably determine his overall legacy.

Craig Bohl. He's Snyder 2.0. He could win here.

Don't say that! I was slammed for saying this 2 weeks ago.

 

[Cy4Lifer]

Take Clay Stapleton off the list.

Too soon!

I wish we could find a guy that had proven head coaching experience in the big 12. A BCS win. A national championship as an offensive coordinator as well as another 11-0 season. And has a coaching pedigree from one of the greatest college football coaches of all time.

Where in the world could we find a guy like that. Probably only a pipe dream. He'd never want to be at a place like iowa state.

 

[CyclOwnd]

Fred hoiberg

Would have thought this was a crazy option last year, but how the **** did he end up at Wyoming?? Seriously.

 

[ketelmeister]

McElwain of CSU will be a hot commodity. I like him.

Not sure why you guys are even worrying about this cause CPR isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I wish you were wrong about this but you're exactly right.

 

[IAStubborn]

Mangino.

Say what you want about the man, but Gene Chizik was a huge splash of a hire.

Defense is the key. Offense is sexy, but the best way for ISU to differentiate itself from WVU, TT, OSU, KU is a fundamentally solid defense. It all starts with the front 7.

The frustration with the last couple years of the Rhoads tenure is his background is defense and our defense seems to be getting worse each year.

Because it's fun to imagine.

 

[Scott34]

Yeah no kidding and look where Gene took us.

Chizik was a splash hire?

Johnny Orr is an example of a splash hire.

I would at least talk to Adam Dorrell at Northwest Missouri State.
