HEAD COACH: Paul Rhoads, 29-46 (6 Years) | OFF. COORDINATOR: Mark Mangino | DEF. COORDINATOR: Wally Burnham

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads has cultivated a reputation of being able to do more with less. After a 5-19 record the last two seasons, Rhoads and his reputation are being put to the test. The Cyclones went winless in the Big 12 last season — which, of course, means they lost to Kansas — and rebounding by a significant margin would seem to be a tall task.
