They've been better for longer, Minnesota has a brand new outdoor stadium and are the only P5 program in the state that has a decent population and recruiting base, NW is in Chicago and they are perfectly happy with going to bowl games so you can coach there a long time, Nebraska has a strong history and every coach there has recruited well.
Why do you think ISU is better than those jobs?
LOL, what?! Minnesota has been trash for years and is in the middle of a city/metro that bleeds purple. They don't have a fan base AT ALL. Hence why when they were on a historic run last year they STILL couldn't sell out the stadium until what, Penn State? Don't be that dumb.
NW has great facilities but still has bad fan support in a great city that loves everything BUT northwestern football. Yea....take me to a school where no one cares if I exist....
You stating Nebraska is better is just a massive troll job if there ever was one. You Hawk fans b**** about nebraska fans day and night and how much you hate them or chastise them and say how it's hilarious they bring up their "strong history", overall winning records, or national championships (which is most ironic thing EVER since thats all hawkeye fans do to iowa state fans) but NOOOWWWW you're going to say its a reason why they are better than iowa state?! Unreal. But lets just leave out how Nebraska has such high expectations and will fire a coach for having 10 wins every year because it's not good enough so it's either win a national championship in 3 years or get fired.
