Keep in mind, this is against the Big 12, against the likes of Riley, Gundy, & Herman fielding teams with pretty significant talent advantages at times.

This guy has gone against some of the best offenses in the country with inferior talent and held them to below their season average the vast majority of the time. He deserves an interview.

Here's the big question though. What does Coach O think about utilizing the 3-3-5 more?

I know he likes his "attacking style", but I honestly think this is the future to slowing down these modern offenses.

Thanks for the analysis. ISU seems to always have shocking wins and well losses to people like USL. With that, people here might not like third and CHAVIS again, but scoring defense is what matters and LSU DBs have talent which would help him succeed very fast.
He is definitely worth the interview.

He looks like a great guy, but he's not elite and he is 60 years old. I'm thinking he won't be on the list.

Pretty much the only similarity I think he has with Pelini.

As the other Joe Heacock thread states, his 3-3-5 defenses the past couple years have caught alot of eyes.
