Flynn brings a lot to the table. Qb and receiver experience. A leader, definitely student of the game. Wasn't his dad a Texas HS coach, iirc. Could be a Texas recruiter for us.

Agree 100%. If these two fill the needs of the next coach, hire them. I am not sure if playing in the NFL translates to coaching ability. IMO, our biggest need w the next staff is the ability to develop players.Entertaining to read, but risky in practice. I love the NFL bona fides that the two would bring to the table and I think they'd be excellent recruiters if they were willing to completely throw themselves into the job. But whoever the new coach is has to be given the opportunity to build his own staff and put his personal stamp on the program. Bringing back two of the most popular Cyclone athletes to ever pass through Ames might not be the best way to do that.
I don't get this. CW is usually more on point than most of the posters here. But a bunch of posters would love to see a staff filled with former players who've never coached a day in their lives, and I think that's a good way to go 0-12.
Why would a new coach hire two guys who have never coached before to join their staff? They would be less qualified than the jags that Chizik hired to fill his staff, but it's all OK because they used to play in the cardinal and gold?
Just not on board with this idea at all. Bring one on as a GA and I'd take it; anything more would be a stretch at best.

Since they can't both coach QBs, where would you assign each guy?
Bringing back the Mac era is fine with me.
There are A LOT of staff positions...recruiting coordinator, Operations, film, etc (and multiple spots on each place). I would LOVE to have them as part of the program because when visitors come to campus, even having informal interaction with these guys would be great. But if they truly want to earn it, are they willing to come in at $50k a year as an assistant recruiting coordinator?
