I was mistaken assuming Rhoads was employed as a DC at IS when Mullen hired Collins and the hired Diaz over him.

He was a head coach who consistently had 50-60 points scored against his defense when he played good teams...

Mississippi State: Sources tell FootballScoop that there are other candidates; but Dan Mullen will not offer the defensive coordinator position to anyone else until Ed Orgeron tells him no.

Man, some folks don't learn until you have to rub their nose in their own excrement. Congrats for being an honorary member of Team Fully Richtum.
By the way, in the famous words of Sonny Corleone: " you are no war time consiglieri".

WTF does this have to do with anything?
Here is your original quote:
How could Mullen hire Rhoads when he was the HC at ISU? Are we done?

Did they?
Those Pitt defenses weren't lights-out and they were in a watered-down Big East most of those years.
I think the problem with Manny Diaz is he has that BYU game on his résumé. People are extrapolating that to summarize his entire career. By the numbers, he's fine. And he's not too old to be so set in his ways that he can't tweak his defense.

You do realize he had a track record before Auburn?
In 2007 (last year at Pitt), he had the 5th best Total D.
In 2008 (after he left), Pitt had the 31st best Total D.
In 2008 (at Auburn), he had the 27th best Total D.
In 2009 (after he left), Auburn had the 68th best Total D.
He already was a good DC who has shown he was capable of good performances. "Five of the defenses he coordinated ranked in the nation’s Top 30 for scoring and three in the NCAA’s Top 12 for fewest yards allowed. His aggressive philosophy allowed Pitt to score 10 defensive touchdowns from 2004-06.
Rhoads' last two defenses (Auburn in 2008 and Pitt in 2007) before coming to Ames ranked 15th nationally in scoring defense and fifth in total defense, respectively. The Sporting News named him the best defensive coordinator in the Big East Conference."
As for MSU (2014 v 2015):
2014: Before Diaz
Total D: 86th
Scoring D: 23rd
Passing D: 57th
Rushing D: 44th
2015: After Diaz
Total D: 56th
Scoring D: 36th
Passing D: 57th
Rushing D: 70th
Not sure of the improvement from Diaz RECENTLY. He has had 5 seasons since the 2010 season and his performance at Texas plummeted quickly. I am hoping that the combination of Coach Kul and better talent is enough, but we will see.
