I don’t know, and you’re right, I won’t put a number on it."- Paul Rhoads on having the toughest schedule in the Big 12

    Re: New WR coach

    Well here's something interesting. This is just days after this:

    Montana State football coach Rob Ash isn't wasting any time filling his vacant coaching positions.

    Todd Sturdy, the former offensive coordinator at Washington State, gets the nod as MSU's new offensive coordinator.

    Final paperwork was being completed Tuesday afternoon, so MSU didn't make a formal announcement. But Ash says he's "thrilled" with what Sturdy will bring to the Bobcat program.

    Very interesting.

    HC there is Rob Ash the former Drake coach. He also brought in a former Hawkeye WR Demo Odems.

    Who has been coaching in the Pac-12 and recruited the Cali and Washington region. It makes sense.

    Re: New WR coach

    looking around rivals, it looked like he recruited a lot in CA for WSU.

    Re: New WR coach

    If he comes, this sounds like a great, overqualified hire. I think it's great to have someone who clearly has skills to get promoted in that position, and an experienced OC on board.

    If he doesn't, I'm glad for him with the Montana State position. I'll be curious to see how this shakes out.

    How do coaches rate that as a career decision?

    Very interesting.HC there is Rob Ash the former Drake coach (I assume Chris Ash's dad). He also brought in a former Hawkeye WR Demo Odems.
    Rob has no relation to Chris.
