Sage and Seneca have the means to help the program if they want to. Just because someone has strong feelings about Iowa State doesn't mean they'll be good recruiters.
Do you honestly think Chris Weinke, Jason White, or Troy Smith would be great recruiters at FSU, OU, or tOSU just because they won Heisman trophies there and really like their alma maters? It'd be a cool story but it doesn't mean any of them could identify talent and pitch whatever the program looks like now to kids.
Austin Flynn at least has experience coaching and recruiting, and is at a winning program.
Gotta love this thread. Bunch of responses about how successful players don't have the experience to coach, written by people who have no idea what experience the former players have or their personality traits for recruiting high school kids (leadership). Fire away.

Thank you Bader! Flynn has been coaching and winning at Grandview where he is currently the OC. You could consider him a local guy right now but he also coached in Texas. I would guess he has some ties down there. Bring him in as WR/TE coach or something. I do not know for sure if he is OC ready at a Power 5 school.

Flynn has done what Sage and Seneca have not. Took that ambition to become a coach and actually went and got a job in coaching.Thank you Bader!

The next QB coach will probably know more about coaching the position than Them because they have actually done it.Both sage and Seneca have forgotten more about playing qb than whoever the next qb coach will ever know, stupid not to hire one of them. But they won't.
and most importantly, he has some coaching experience.
I LOL at people who think a veteran NFL QB who wants to coach could not be a college QB or WR coach. It's nearly impossible to be a veteran NFL QB without many of the qualities a great offensive coach has. Only issue is if the person has a horrible personality for recruiting/locker room reasons which isn't the case with either of these guys who everyone loves.
Just something people say because it makes them seem smart, but it actually makes them look dumb. It's like saying a wildly successful investment banker couldn't teach high school economics well if he decided that's what he wanted to try doing.
nopI will respond since I posted something about them. You are correct, I don't know what experience they have but neither do you. When JP talks about talking ISU to the next level, that means he's wanting to do the extraordinary at ISU. Yes, both of those guys had some success in college and the NFL. However, that does not automatically translate to coaching, recruiting, and developing players. Now, they may have these abilities, but I haven't seen it on display. If you have, then I apologize.
