Which direction should Iowa State go with coaching search?

[Harry]

The outsider is the way to go. Not hard to understand why these preliminary lists of potential Iowa State candidates feature the likes of Doug Meacham, Lincoln Riley and Kendal Briles. I get it. Finding a guy who understands the Big 12 landscape would be nice. But I just don’t think those rising OCs will say yes to this job. They know too much about the challenges of winning at Iowa State.

Zigging when others zag is a good thing. Just ask Bill Snyder. He’s glad the rest of the Big 12 is gravitating toward a similar brand of offense. The defensive coordinators in this league spend seven or eight weeks a year figuring out how to stop that offense. You’re at an advantage when you do something they’re not used to seeing.

K-State and Baylor got out of the Big 12 cellar because they found innovators. That’s what Iowa State needs right now. Easier said than done, I know, but here’s one guy Jamie Pollard should consider: Montana’s Bob Stitt.

They should hire Mac.

Could be a package deal get Big Mac as HC and little Mac as QB signal coach

He could also double as "Big Ass Ringbearer".
