Wondering if Marvin Lewis would be interested in coaching the football team at ISU. Perhaps being offered both the AD and HC jobs would pique his interest. Having played and coached at ISU, plus decades in the NFL, Lewis would be a prime candidate to reach out to. Lewis had all the money he will ever need from his stints in the NFL, would not require a high salary. Combined with the AD and HC job the combined salaries would come in at about $400,000 per year. Of course, this would require both the administration and sports department to think outside the box, not to mention the gnashing of teeth by current staff. If and when the university gets serious about sports, in particular football, its time, maybe now, to go after the quality of people who can lead and raise the profile of ISU sports. Marvin Lewis would be a step in the right direction.

ISU winning a football game is like Christmas. It happens but once a year.

you know it is same o same o. ISU numb nuts says a coach is the ticket. Guess what? They havent figured it out it is the players. Look at Rangle using everyone of Phonecie's players and expecting different results. They are all nuts.ISU athletic department is traditionally operating on half a deck, and the next year they play with the other half. Forget it. Up and coming team is U of I

Hey Bill. How's life at U of I? You a doctor yet? If so you need to retake the temperature. ISU football will never amount to anything. Never has never will. 1981 was a fluck a freak show. When ISU wins a game it is holiday. sorta!!
