Given how we finished out the season, I can't see anybody other than Wally (who has made it clear he's at ISU until he retires in a few years) getting offers to move up to a school that can pay better than Iowa State.

ya clean house. and start over again. jfc take a pill. its the second year of a system that has been run with 2 other coaches players.

i realize that wally has worked wonders given the circumstances, but the odds of that happening at a school like ours is slim to none. gotta give em 2 more years at least-whether you like it or not.

This. People seem to forget that GC was recruiting to run a power running offense (that is why Bo transferred here from a spread offense at Florida). If we struggle in offense after this staff's players are in the system, then look at making changes.

Take a look at what happened in Minnesota. One of the reasons that Bottom Brew is gone is because he had 3 different OC's (and different offenses in general) in his time there. He would get recruits to commit, then change the OC 2 months before signing day. Made no sense.

The only two that could/should be gone are Wells and Bleil with A LOT of pressure on Herman.

I could see the WR coach (Luke Wells, I think), not being brought back next year. Otherwise, the staff stays intact.

Are we going to be able to keep the staff that PR has put together?

don't be surprised if Bob Elliott leaves. he usually comes to ISU when no one else will hire him and then leaves for another offer. Watch the new staff at Minnesota get put together

I support this message. Most under-performing group on the team, by far.

Even the great, powerful and God-like Money dropped some (or more than some) passes.

Hope like hell we can retain the defensive staff. To say they worked miracles this season is a vast understatement.

Outside of Wally? I have no idea...

Let's clean house on the offensive side.

Yes, do this. It the obvious way to build a program.

For those who want Herman gone, I would like some suggestions as to who you would hire.

I agree with Well (WR) but I don't agree with Bleil, the line was decent this year for the most part.

It would seem that this is Wally's last job. I hope we can keep it another couple years before he hangs it up. Unbelievable job he's done in 2 years. I can't imagine ever having a better defensive coordinator than him at Iowa State.

Calvin Magee or Gus Malzahn.

Hey, if CPR's got the coins to run a fake special teams play almost every game this year, maybe he's got the donuts to approach one of the best offensive minds in modern history. Leach does have an Iowa connection, coaching at Wesleyan! :jimlad:

Why would he leave, his son is here and he is going to have one hell of a D next year.

I think Wally retires a Cyclone and Shane steps right in.
