If I recall correctly, Jackie often speaks quite fondly of his time at ISU. He still has a soft spot for Ames, and really enjoys talking about it.
Sherrill got in trouble down South after his stint at Pittsburgh, when for team motivation prior to playing Texas he had a Longhorn Bull castrated at the 50 yard line. Caused an uproar and could you imagine doing that today with the political correct crowd. It would be worse than Mangino and Leach who were only verbally abusive.
I was going to mention Avezzano too. Wasn't he also Head Coach at Oregon for a couple of years? He failed miserably there I think.
Edit: Looked it up. He as head coach at Oregon State from 1980 to 1984. Overall record of 6-47-2. Yikes!
