New FB Coach

Looks like his brain will be picked on the pistol. This may be a temporary stop for him as he has potential.

Yes, I assume he wasn't retained. Bielema brought in an O-line coach that worked with their new OC.

That would make sense. That would also maybe explain a potential change in OC or Co-OC's still to come.

Pretty big pickup for ISU. Can't imagine him being "just" a TE coach, as Arkansas's offense hasn't been the issue over the past several years. O-line has been the last worry they have had overall. Home run hire.

how many stars and offers?

He tweeted "It's looking like ISU has a new TE coach" and the link says "Reports place Klenakis as new TE coach." So while the article isn't specific La Gesse said tights ends coach in other places.

How would you look if you had to coach in Arkansas?

This guy better not just be coaching TEs. Will be very pleased if he has displaced Bleil as the OL coach.

Why hire a TE coach?

​Read the linked resume - This guy has the experience we were looking for - OL experience for both running and passing attacks.

Please?

Depends on their personalities... could be too many cooks in the kitchen and not be pretty.

Should be fine as long as they work and play well together, and it is clear who gets the final call on offensive decisions.
