On the other hand, Rhoads may be a candidate to replace Chizik at ISU. Rhoads is a former Iowa State assistant coach. The Iowa State job actually has a solid looking list of potential replacements for Chizik. Turner Gill, a former Nebraska player and coach, joins folks like Glen Mason (former miracle worker at Kansas), and others near the top of that group.
While we're talking coaching search news in general. Rivals.com has a great recap of coaching rumors from places like LSU, Notre Dame and elsewhere. One smaller school of note is Eastern Michigan who is looking for a head coach. I'd like to take a moment to recommend John Jancek for their defensive coordinator job when it opens. The former Central Michigan LB coach knows the area, and he would be a great fit. Did I mention that Auburn's linebacker coach James Willis is probably available to help some lucky SEC school's LB corps play much better?
Lastly, ISU's athletic director spilled the beans on final 48 hours of the Chizik switch. He's understandably pissed, but you have to give him credit for this doozy of a line:
"I give (Auburn A.D. Jay Jacobs) credit for hiring a 5-19 coach," Pollard later added with a wry smile.PWD

Jamie Pollard sure does like to refer to Jamie Pollard as Jamie Pollard, doesn't he? Jamie Pollard likes that sort of thing. What Jamie Pollard doesn't like is some no-good ship-jumping coach.
Gill told ISU he's not interested, and signed a contract extension with Buffalo.
It wouldn't surprise me at all For Richt to "assist" Jancek shortly after the bowl game (or maybe signing day) with some "opportunity realignment."
We don't seem to be very good at developing a lot of the LB talent we get.
Guys like Hebron and Dewberry were high school all-americans.
Even when we had BVG, we didn't seem to squeeze all the potential out of our LB's.
i recommend willie martinez for isu, or east. mich.!!
You forgot to mention how well UGA did during the Glen Mason era.
Well we were undefeated under Mason.
