ISU Coaching Potential Hires:

Re: ISU Coaching Potential Hires:

I think the 'coaching graveyard' tag applied to ISU applies to football, and not necessarily to basketball. I'm not sure Larry Eustachy would have left but for his scandal.

As long as you ignore the fact that the only two people to coach ISU football in the last 15 years are both still coaching. One for Auburn and one in the national title game. You can say they are still coaching despite having coached at ISU, but thats opinion. The fact is they are both still coaching at very good schools.

That's still the dumbest argument out there.

If it's dumb then why don't you explain how it's a coaching graveyard?

I'd like to hear that opinion also.

They got those jobs in spite of Iowa State, not because of Iowa state. And last I heard, Mac is an assisant coach, that is a demotion in my book.

Which Big 12 head football job is worse than Ames right now?
Not really a graveyard...but a tough situation with how powerful the conference is...

That's an opinion. While I wouldn't say it's a wrong opinion the actual facts are coaches careers don't end at ISU.

Mac was basically fired and he still did fine. If ISU is a coaching graveyard then that should be the end of a career. If you were fired from ISU it should be a worst case scenario.

True. He is an assistant. But is coaching in the National Championship. I gurantee you he is happy where is he is right now. Not to mention is the talk of getting the HC job at Army. One way or another he will be a HC again someday.

Yes, Not a graveyard. But a tough school to coach at. There's a big difference.
