Don't disagree but how many teams are actually hiring defensive guys now? They actually discussed on NFL today a few weeks ago that there may be more talented DC in the NFL than ever because no one wants to hire them as head coaches.The post says "successful head coach that was a DC". Stoops and Beamer definitely qualify.
Yeah, I forgot that. They just seem like defensive minded people.
I don't know the answer to this question. Are there any former DC's that come to mind as successful head coaches? Surely there have to be some. offense and defense are very different mindsets. On Defence giving up one big play kills you. On offense making one big play wins. Can a defensive mindset translate to a successful head coach?
Paul Rhoads. Three bowls games in first four years at IOWA STATE! That's very rare air.

although this year only 6 teams from the conference will play in them. Makes 9 making it last year look a little bit better.When a team finishing 9th out of 10 in the conference is going to a bowl game, we need a new way to measure success. Even at Iowa State.
A swing and a miss is, "A DC will be too conservative and never make a successful HC". This was a question and recieved some informative resonses. So why the question? There have been a fair number of posts that thematically say "CPR medels too much with the offense or CPR is the common thread with our offensive malaise and lack of quarterback development". I was curious if Fanatics think this because CPR came through the defensive ranks. Based on the feedback DC to HC transition is not in and of itself a problem. Lots of examples to the contrary were given. To me this is heartening. There is no reason that CPR can't analyze what ISU needs and land an OC that makes a differance next year.Pretty much a swing and a miss on this one.
