Bleil is the one that really needs to go, but I don't think CPR will pull that trigger. Friend zone.

Provided we don't lose any recruits from this I am more than ok with this. Worst coach on our staff IMO. Got demoted and was awfully quiet this year while coaching a TE group with only one good player. Try to replace him with a dynamite recruiter.
We have room for one more.

Thank you my immediate thought....
Two areas that i think are vastly underdeveloped for this phase of a coaching regime.
#1 by a long shot....WR - our WR development has been horrible. I've been complaining since tubbo was at KU and his WR were so dominant outside both catching and blocking that they single handedly gave the RB the corner...Briscoe, Meier and the others were very well coached in all phases.
#2 our OLINE....I know a lot of people will put QB here..but its simple...no OLINE then your RB and QB will struggle...if i had to start anywhere it would be with the OL because you watch the "good" teams, they have "good" OL play regardless of how bad their qb play is...now that said, if you have an awesome qb, he will overcome a lot of shortcomings from the OL...in our case, our qb play certainly has not be great by any stretch but, i give them a pass until the OL knows how to block a blitz for more then 1.4 seconds!
If true, i wish Luke Wells all the luck in the future at his new home!
Don't agree with this, great recruiter, great coach, to me a lot of our issues are, WR, OL, and offensive coordination, Courtney and Bleil being the primary blame, to me Wells moved to TE this year, which position-wise was not unproductive, Sturdy is WR coach, I could see him moving to OC, did a decent job at Washington st before we got him.
Pipe dream. If it's true that Chip Kelly goes to the NFL and the Oregon OC is slated to become their headcoach, then I see Frost as their new OC. If all that don't pan out he has no problem waiting for a better program than ISU coming after him.
Don't get me wrong I would love him to come here, but I don't believe it will happen.
Ernst has been solid. (I'd argue it's more on his god given talent, seeing as his blocking has been poor)
But before Ernst the TE's were awful last year and the WR's were awful the 2 years before that. Is that all on Wells? No. But there is a reason he went from WR's to TE's and it wasn't because he was coaching well.
While I agree that Wells position groups haven't been great, he hasn't had a lot to work with. We was at WR when our best threat was a TE and we had little in the way of WRs, then he was at TE when we had Hammerschmidt and Howard who just aren't great receiving threats. Then he had Brun and Brun wasn't an easy coach early on from what I have heard. Wells did a nice job with him so I don't want to beat on him too hard. He could have also left on his own. We don't know yet.
If he got fired, my guess is we will bring in another offensive mind. I don't think it will be a new OC, but think along the Sturdy line. Scott Frost has been in the running for HC spots. A year or two as OC would put him over the hump. He also a former DB who works on offense, which interests me.
I thought Scott Frost was an option QB?
