Iowa St. Strikes Back

Auburn took Gene Chizik from Iowa St., so they took their defensive coordinator.

Paul Rhodes was introduced as the new Iowa St. coach earlier today.

Rhodes spent seven years at Pittsburgh before being hired as the new defensive coordinator at Auburn. He had previously been an assistant at Iowa St. and actually grew up in the state.

Rhodes has been an outstanding defensive coordinator for both Pittsburgh and Auburn, and this should be a good hire for Iowa St.
