While there’s still no telling who will be Dan McCarney’s replacement at Iowa State, there are two candidates who are definitely out:

The only two known coaches to interview for the head football coaching position at Iowa State have been eliminated from consideration, according to multiple sources close to both coaches.

Nebraska offensive coordinator Jay Norvell and San Diego head coach Jim Harbaugh were notified by Cyclone athletic director Jamie Pollard Tuesday night that they no longer are on his list of potential replacements for coach Dan McCarney.

Wow. I’ve heard of candidates doing “practice interviews,” but never a hiring party. Now, since these two aren’t on the list, who is? Cyclone Report says Tulsa’s Steve Kragthorpe and UTEP’s Mike Price are still under consideration, though neither has been interviewed yet. We’d like to think that maybe somebody is listening to us and taking a long look at North Dakota State’s Craig Bohl too–could it really hurt to have a Cyclone head coach who’s still highly honked off at Nebraska?

UPDATE!

The Cedar Rapids Gazette says it won’t be Tim Brewster, either. Quick, go look before they make you pay for it!
