Assuming this is true...
When you have a staff of good people like the staff that CPR has put together there are going to be other organizations that will recruit and hire them for higher positions. It is the price of being successful. It is actually a sign of good things to come that this is happening so early in CPR's tenure. He put together a stellar staff and history tells me he will find a more than adequate replacement for Coach Ash. The success he has had in turning this program around will make it easier to hire highly qualified qualified people. Who wouldn't want to work for this guy?
Good luck Coach Ash and thank you for all the work you did on this recruiting class.

Exactly! When someone posted a question about which coach they would most like to see lose (or something similar)...I answered Bielema! I hate that guy!
Maybe over the long haul, that works in our favor? Come back home when you find out the grass isn't necessarily greener. And bring your surely deeper rolodex of recruiting contacts with you?
I was in school when Bielema pulled his stunt with Walden. Never a big fan of Jim's, but nobody deserved that and BB is the poster boy of "lack of class".
He did it the right way (timing wise). He's doing what anyone else would do by going to a higher paying job.
For some reason, I think we see him back in Ames in a couple years after Wally hangs it up.
Al4State made a great point about Atif Austin. Get him back here is we can and he is right for the job. Ash knew the game but he was as good of a recruiter as a coach and that will be tough to replace.

Hard to do that when he's already taken the other job.
I'd be stunned if this move was a surprise within the coaching staff. I'm sure Coach has a replacement lined up.
What's funny is I was talking to his BIL in Okoboji this weekend for Winter Games, and he was wearing ISU gear. I wonder if he knew? He mentioned that he didn't think Wally would be coaching for too many more years, so it would've been nice to have him step into that position. Maybe they have Shane lined up for that.
Should have went the Chizik route and hired his buddies who aren't good enough to ever leave.
Yeah, it was great Ash waited until after Signing Day. Tough to lose our recruiting coordinator.
If they ever post the Mens Basketball head coaching vacancy online, I am so applying.
They have my resume on file along with my breakdown of martial arts skills.

Big loss for ISU but I wish Coach Ash well. Hopefully, Coach Rhoads already has a great replacement in mind. Nobody more important than your Recruiring Coordinator/Secondary Coach.
Wow they got that up quick. Is there a state law that a state job has to be posted for a certain amount of time before it can be filled?
If he's a "farm kid" I would guess he has a black belt in flung-sum-dung. I know I do!
Which is obviously more important than any sort of coaching background or recruiting connections.
Well, I'm also one helluva nice guy and I know that's priority number one for our basketball coach position.
I have heard good things about atif austin, but who knows if he is the guy we are going to get.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing will continue to happen if we cannot afford to keep coaches around. The absolute NUMBER 1 thing that killed McCarney's success was the departure of his assistants.
this is scary stuff, and not to be taken lightly. If Atif austin was better- CPR would have hired him last year.
