Paul Rhoads fired from Iowa State
- Thread starter jeff v4
- Start date
For the sake of throwing names out there. I'm not sure any of them are better than Rhodes, but I'd take a look at these guys.
Dino Babers
Diaco
Curtesy call to Herman, who laughs and hangs up
Fritz- ga state
Durkin
Frost
Brian Ferentz!
Other coordinator
Hoke
Muschamp
Richt-he'll be looking for a job
Pelini
Other re-tread (sarkisian?)
Actually, it was 21 at the half. The hard part was giving up 10 points when you have the ball, first down, 1:35 left, and only 1 timeout left for KSU.
Dan McCarney is available....
It will be interesting to see if Pelini and Frost are candidates. Niumatalalo would be a slam dunk, he's a guy I was hoping we'd at least interview. But I doubt he leaves Navy for Iowa State, he makes almost $2 million/year at Navy, which is about what ISU paid Rhoades. He'll get better job offers with the year he's having.

Bo might be a good choice for ISU. His defense worked better in the Big XII and he could still beat Iowa every year.

2013 was one of Bo Pelini's years, so he and Dr. Tom Osborne are two Nebraska coaches that didn't beat Iowa every year
Okay- he could be Iowa 3 out of every 4 years.2013 was one of Bo Pelini's years, so he and Dr. Tom Osborne are two Nebraska coaches that didn't beat Iowa every year
Pelini would be a disaster at ISU. If he couldn't recruit worth a darn here, how will he recruit to a program with zero tradition? How will he beat the Texas and Oklahoma schools with a roster of 2-star players?

I have a friend who is an ISU fan/alum/booster and he told me that Bo Pelini is the only coach he would not want at ISU over Rhoads.

I don't see him ever leaving Navy but if he does I really think that Illinois would be a great spot for him.
Rhoads was on the hot seat before this season even started. Probably needed a bowl to save his job, so I guess I am hardly surprised.
Change for the sake of change ... ISU may fall down on this one.
Rhoads has pulled off some surprising wins over the years. His teams couldn't close, but they were competitive vs. Oklahoma State and @ Kansas State. Losing leads ... against teams with a better history of success.
However, other than McCarney and Rhoads of late ... who has succeeded at ISU?
Could we see the next Gene Chizik in Ames?

Funny that a few years back Rhoads could have cashed in for a bigger job. His energy reinvigorated the program there similar to what Pelini did at Nebraska, but that energy only takes you so far.
