Who Would be the New ISU Coach?

I could see them going in that direction. I would expect little change with either of those guys. They should go after Doug Schwab! Maybe go after Dake, or Taylor.
Bono won't take it and Varner can't do it.
Need a much stronger personality. Someone who will fight for the sport against an unyeilding AD.

Who would want to deal with pollard?
It is a no win really. A lot would have to happen to make that work.
Not giving KJ a pass but lord knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I'd like to see Kevin Dresser get the job, and then have Iowa immediately drop ISU from the schedule and replace them with Mizzou. That would really piss off Dresser.
I do think we can solve this better than the ISU administration and ISU fans...like for real. So...
Bono-Can the prodigal son return? I hear there is some straight up heartburn on his part. Plus, short pissed off guys rule
Varner-Great qualifications as a wrestler but can he coach?
Perry-Obligatory Mark Perry mention...required in every potential coaching hire thread
Terry-Not on your f-ing life but it would make sense in a cosmic way. Brands Bros rule the state of Iowa, different conference and could pull cool tricks. Terry can show up as Tom to a recruit's house and act like a total jackass...take credit for being the "calm" one in the corner while Tom is the one always jumping around trying to start fights. Claim Iowa admin got he and Tom mixed up...hired Tom instead. Star of Flo documentary and between the two, has more starpower
Any PSU Assistant including the Video Girl-Learned at the hands of the the coaching guru and have mastered the ways of the force, dodgeball, NLWC slush fund/money laundering schemes, recruiting/developing Top 100 grinders into NCAA champs. Note: This also includes David Taylor.
Kyle Dake: Because he found out David Taylor wanted the job. Play them against each other for some comedy gold. "But David, you never beat him." "Taylor has a shoe deal with Adidas, you have one with Brute. Come on Kyle, who wears Brute anymore?"
Minnesota Assistants (all 20 of them): Because they are multitaskers who can run various properties, know how to keep their mouth shut while under investigation and claim "I didn't know", and still run a wrestling team that will finish higher than ISU
Kevin Dresser: Because he severely wants to get into Carver and to attempt to stick it to Iowa. Also a big proponent of Vitamin C so ISU wrestlers won't be dropping like flies out of the line up for various illnesses
Jordan Burroughs: Hiring a charismatic, Olympic champion with almost no coaching experience? What could go wrong? (I actually think this would be a real good hire, just don't think he is done yet)
Schwab hasn't done enough at UNI to be a front line candidate. They have been killed by injuries but still--at some point you have to perform. Maybe he will have better luck with his most recent crop.
Damion Hahn is name worth mentioning... How bout Cody Sanderson??
I think Hahn would be great. Cornell has developed a lot of good wrestlers. But I also think Hahn would be good for the Minne job.
Cunningham, Dalagnav (he's rather young but from what I've heard has a coaches mind, plus has a lot of senior level experience)
Pendleton?
Pendleton?
That would be a very good choice but he is highly paid at PSU and seems to be enjoying life there.
I don't think it's brains that prevent people from hiring Casey at this time. My belief is that Casey wants stability for his young family, and PSU is where he is comfortable in doing so at a good salary. Anyone can be hired away for the right price and/or situation, but in this case, I think Casey is happy where he is. Similar to Terry.
If I'm ISU and the better small school D1 head coaches like Flynn aren't interested I would seriously consider Nick Mitchell. It would be understandable if he thinks that Grandview is just a better job but I'd still ask to talk to him.
He seems to do pretty well with ISU wrestlers!
After Cael took his "talents" to State College, the prodigal son is going to return home to try to win a title in at a school that has been irrelevant without him.
Always liked Mark Cody. Good with boosters and could work with Pollard.
Didn't get the results he wanted at OU but I expect Rosselli who is a good coach to settle into mediocrity there as well.

You don't wonder why Perry has yet to be hired as a HC anywhere?
