Dave Andrews - New Football Strength Coach

[mdk2isu]

I’d say more on the level of Michigan, Penn State and Georgia. A notch below the top tier

Im not sure how you dont include Georgia in the top tier when it comes to recruiting. Their class rankings the past 5 years:
2020 - 3 - with a higher average player score than both 1 and 2
2019 - 2
2018 - 1
2017 - 3
2016 - 6

If a top 3 class 4 out of 5 years isnt top tier, I dont know what is.

Some of Andrew's staff is coming with him. One person in particular who has already been mentioned in this thread, is confirmed.

Welcome home Trever. His hard work and play-making ability were an important part in the turnaround during the 2017 season.

Trever is one of my favorite players. Kid gave us everything he had.

Agree. I don't think people realize how big of a gap there is from that first tier to the second tier either. Yeah, Michigan and ND recruit well. They aren't even close to what Bama, Georgia, OSU and Clemson are, though. Sure, some of them can pop into that top 5 in a given year but consistent top 5 classes just make that spread huge.

I wonder if this simply had something to do with the nature of the job having responsibilities all day from early morning to late night. I would think it would wear on me after a while. Maybe Wade was doing a fine job, but just didn't want to continue making that kind of sacrifice.

We will never hear the full story IMO.

According to USA Today 2019 College Football Strength Coach Salaries, Andrews would be #10.

I saw some questions on why he'd leave Pitt for ISU, I guess there's at least 470,000 reasons...

When do we get our first interview/highlight video of Dave pushing guys around the weight room??

I'm guessing he is getting a pretty big bump from what he made at Pitt. For Campbell to add $200k to the salary that Wade was getting tells me that he really wanted him. The other thing that jumps out to me on that list is holy crap, iowa is paying Doyle a lot. He knows where the bodies are buried over there, so it would probably be devastating to them if he left for another job.

Doyle makes as much as Parker and more than Brian. I believe it's the only staff where the strength coach is paid as much as either coordinator, let alone more than either coordinator.

Doyle is very highly regarded. Ferentz knows where his bread is buttered.

Plus Doyle is good for business at the university hospital too.

I noticed that too. Looks like we are definitely staying with Vance in the middle and Rose outside.
