AMES, Iowa (AP) Iowa State has long been considering by some as a ''coaching graveyard'' for football, a school with a small budget and small stadium compared to the rest of the Big 12.

Coach Paul Rhoads is in danger of becoming its latest victim.

Rhoads burned through much of the goodwill he built up early in his tenure with back-to-back losing seasons. The Cyclones went 3-9 in 2013 and 2-10 and winless in the Big 12 last season.

Most people don't seem to believe Iowa State will be better in 2015.
