The old Kirk Ferentz trick. Float your name out there and see what the administration is willing to pay you.

Well done.

Good move by ISU.

Congrats to the Cyclone fans. I think you have a good fit with Rhoads. He will do well for your program in the years to come.

nah after a few more years of going 6-6,7-5 Teh clowns will think they deserve more and run him outta town alla McCarney

[HawkeyeRyno]

Wait, what? 10 years for going 6-6, 5-7 and 6-6!? Ferentz goes 11-2 and gets 10 year extension then goes 7-5 and 7-5 (rebuilding year) and is on hot seat now. Dan McCarney had better records than Rhoads has had and CyFans got tired of him. What happens when Rhoads is still going 6-6 3-4 years down the road?

Rhoads goes 6-6 and a lifetime contract is well deserved. Ferentz goes 11-2 wins Orange Bowl then goes 7-5 and on hot seat. LOL! I guess expectations are lower in Ames.

In about 4 years when the Big 12 finally breaks apart like we all know it's going to and ISU ends up slummin it in the MAC, they will start having 8 and 9 win seasons.

I was not impressed with Rhoads until this season. They had a tough schedule this year and 6 wins is actually impressive.
That said, the next couple seasons will really determine how good he is as by than he will have almost all of his own players.

The big 12 has been much stronger the last three years then when McCarney was coaching. Mccarney went 6-27 his first three years. Ferentz went 11-24.

Umad?

Rhoads did something in 2011 McCarney could never do. And the win over OSU cemented it again for next year. Something Ferentz does each year at Iowa which makes him so valuable to the Hawks administration. He maximized the athletic departments profits with large numbers of season ticket sales, and attendance figures. KF does it each season, and its part of what will make Rhoads so valuable to ISU.

And unlike Dan, it didn't take Rhoads 6-8 season to gain legit traction within the fanbase. Rhoads was worth millions more to ISU than McCarney ever was. Those millions will equate to many resources that Dan never had, nor would have gotten.

As for Dan's better seasons...he accomplished those with his best teams, and did so pretty far into his tenure. And outside of the 9-3 season his best wasn't much better than what Rhoads has accomplished by barely getting his feet wet in the program. He could very well have better seasons once he no longer has a team comprised of players recruited by 3 different staffs.
