PAUL RHOADS AND VICKIE RHOADS

Paul Robert Rhoads is known for being the head coach of Iowa State for seven years and being the former defensive coordinator of the Arizona Wildcats. Having a wife who was a basketball player back in the day and having two sons who played football for Iowa State University meant that they are an extremely athletic family.

When Paul was recruiting his son, Jake, for the Iowa State, treating him like a recruit was essential and it worked. He was a coach when they were on the field and a dad at home. Not much is known about his wife, Vickie Rhoads, but it is known that she has even helped her husband determine the Curtis Bay successor, for she understood the uniqueness of the situation. Being former athletes meant that they have similar interests that keep the foundation of their marriage strong.
