Much, much better. With every announcement last time, I was scratching my head and hoping he knew what he was doing.

I agree, more a long the lines that a lot of coaches did not have great resumes, had all there experience at smaller schools, ex. McFarland, Bolt....
I am excited the guy said it himself, "when we played against Iowa State last year I saw first hand the talent on the field" Combine that confidence in the players along with the unbelievable hire of our new O-Coordinator and I would LOVE to be a QB/RB/WR in our offense. Very well done PR
It's all about the assistants.

I see at the end of that article they now have Bleil noted as the Offensive Lines coach, hence bye bye McFarland for sure....
The reason you were disappointed in the picks Gene made was cause he didn't take the time and you saw that every guy on his staff were old buddys or they coached together before. Not this staff my god I mean look at what we got so far amazing. If you would have told me ISU football was getting one of the top OC in the nation I would have called you a retard. But we did! I think Paul Rhoads is here for the long haul. I expect that there is plenty more to come. I can say this look out world BECAUSE THERE'S A STROM A COMIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Franchione must have thought a lot of Coach Pope since he took him with him from TCU to Bama to A&M. Very nice hire.
Would everyone be happy with the following 3 spots:
DT - Dunn
DC/LB's - Blackwell
WR/Special teams - Grant or Rogers
I would feel better about the defensive coordinator spot if it was a co-defensive coordinator spot with Paul himself being the other co-defensive coordinator.

The world better look out. Zombie Strom Thurmond risen from the grave? Terrifying.
Maybe, just maybe, Rhoads is a better man. Nice guys finish first sometimes. Lets hope hes that guy!
I agree with you about having Paul as co-defensive coordinator, but I'd rather have someone like Shawn Simms get a shot as the other co-defensive coordinator. Simms was at Pittsburgh at the same time as Coach Rhoads. He also did a good job coaching McKenzie and Bowen when he was linebackers coach at ISU. I'm not sure where he is at now though?

Since Price is listed as the Defensive Line coach, I would doubt that they would hire a coach for the DT. Since normally there would be a DE coach and a DT coach, this opens up the possibility of a 3 man front. Tulsa will be running a 3-3-5 against Ball State tonight.
