1% /= 0%

Like we’ve been saying, it’s not Brian Kelly taking over at Iowa State. WHO TV in Des Moines says (as CrossCyed speculated) the job is going to Texas assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator Gene Chizik. You’d think we could’ve seen this coming, what with all the interviews being held in Dallas ‘n ‘at, but what’s the Internet without irresponsible speculation?

This is fine by me. Kelly plays ninja football, and that tends to fluster the Hawkeyes.

UPDATE!

Further confirmation, including a report that Chizik is in Ames, comes from the Des Moines Register.

  1. Chizik? Surprised he’s not holding out for a…you know, real job.

  2. Oh, it’s not a bad situation for him. If he wins nine games at ISU he’ll be thought of as a genius, which could lead him to bigger and better jobs elsewhere. Right now what’s the best other job he could get? NC State?

  3. True, it’s not like the Big 12 North is a difficult division to handle. No reason he shouldn’t win nine games in a year or two.

  4. If he wins nine in Ames they’ll name the field after him.

  5. It certainly explains why our defense has sucked so much the last two games. Chizik was interviewing instead of watching game tape and talking to, say, his players.
