Hot off the press, New Coach Announced!!!!
- Thread starter jburke
- Start date
I totally agree with both of you. I was uneasy with Chizik's cronyism in naming his assistant coaches, but felt like I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Hindsight proves that my lack of enthusiasm over his assistant coach selections was justified.
With Rhoads, it seems like he's going out and building a staff with the best available talent he can find -- not finding a way to bring in all his friends and call them his "assistants." So far, I'm excited about the staff he's put together. I can't wait to see who his defensive coordinator will be.
Why not invite chizik back to be our DC? I hear that would work just about as well.
On a more serious note, do we really want the man who is in charge of dealing with the entire program to spend most of his time working with the D? What about offense? What about special teams? What about the entire game plan? Don't forget that PR also has a lot on his shoulders in the way of recruiting and dealing with the press. We are a big enough school to have a full football staff. Yes he probably will have a large hand in how the D is run, but it's more important that he do his job as head coach. Also, by bringing in a DC, we now have multiple people who know what they're doing with the defense; this should let us put some different plays on the field from last year, maybe even stop the pass.
Looks like its the last time I will get to post this!

Amen, brother. It's already an impressive staff. If PR comes up with a world-beater for a DC, GOOD THINGS ARE GONNA BE 'A HAPPENIN' in Ames. :notworthy:What was that last head coach's name again? seem to have lost track of him.
This is a pretty amazing hire. Former assistant head coach at A&M and Alabama...tons of recruiting experience in Texas...Several RB's in the NFL that were coached by the man...Barry Sanders....tons of big 12 experience...
Wow, these assistant hires are just getting incredibly exciting.

Now we just need for them all to head south and grab us some o' dem fooseball players. I don't care if their momma's don't want them playin that fooseball, git em anyway.
I cant express just how excited I am for this new staff. I dont know how he managed to do it, but CPR has made me go from completely unenthusiastic about next season to really really excited.
I wonder if he knows that we have a replay in college football. That game is not over!!!!!
I have to be honest that I felt unenthusiastic as well but I've done a complete 180 since then. The assistants being brought in by PR are mind-blowing compared to the head scratching I was doing when Chizik was naming his. I can't wait for the game up in KC!
I will be honest and say that I really didnt expect some of these bigger named coaches to be brought in. This just goes to show how highly respected PR is and that these coaches see his abilities and want to be part of the team. Finally, a coach that seems to be here for the long haul.
The only chaplain I would take for ISU would be Rev Run, but seriously. With the recruiting process I'm just happy I havn't seen the term friend throw around. Also, I'm happy to see black assistant coaches, that alone will help with recruiting.
I would also approve of Rev. Horton Heat, but only if Jimbo came with him. J-I-M-B-O!
