If Heacock is indeed coming along with CMC after coaching interim in Toledo's bowl game and we get our OC from Ohio we are going to have QUITE the pipeline there. Toledo had plenty of athletes on their team as do multiple MAC teams. I think Campbell & Co. could persuade most Ohio kids that aren't Ohio State talent or offered by OSU to come to the big stage and a Big 12 program in Iowa State when going up against Kent St, Toledo, Ohio, etc.

wonder if this tweet is in reference to CW's tweet about OC interviews being today. The "commitment to lead greatness" makes me wonder

You misread it. He was saying he will shift focus to coaching staff after the dead period starts and he can't recruit. Nothing geography related at all.
Can we all skip the my uncles neighbors best friends sisters boyfriend told me who its going to be but i cant say right now comments.
If if you want to skip speculation and making stuff up, then might as well shut this place down. That's 99% of message board material, and I may be being conservative.
If this is true then he looks like a guy worth waiting for. If its not the guy I will be upset, looks like a good choiceon paper.
Scott Isphording begins his second tour of duty in Athens and his first as the Bobcats’ Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks coach in 2014.In Isphording’s first season working with the Bobcat quarterbacks, both Derrius Vick and JD Sprague found success through the air and on the ground. The duo combined for 11 passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns. (Not afraid to use a two Qb system, and had success with it.)
Last year’s offense totaled 4,443 yards of offense which ranks fifth all-time in program history. Vick and Sprague threw for 2,474 yards for this season, which is sixth all-time in program history.
Isphording returns to Ohio University after he spent four years at the University of Toledo, beginning as the quarterbacks coach from 2010-11. In 2012, he added the roles of passing game coordinator and recruiting coordinator to his list of responsibilities.
During his four-year stint with the Rockets, Isphording helped guide Toledo to 24 wins, three bowl games, the 2011 Military Bowl title and a 2011 Mid-American Conference West Co-Championship title. In his two seasons as the program’s recruiting coordinator, he helped the Rockets earn the MAC’s top recruiting class in both 2012 and 2013, according to Rivals.com and Scout.com. Scout.com also selected Isphording as the MAC Recruiter of the Year.
Isphording joined the Rockets’ staff in 2010 after spending 2009 as the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator at Ohio University. Isphording helped guide Ohio to a 9-5 record, a MAC East Division Championship and a berth in the Motor City Bowl.
Isphording coached at Eastern Michigan from 2004-08, and was the offensive coordinator in his final two seasons there. In 2008, he led the Eagles to a school-record 5,010 total yards and topped the league in red-zone efficiency, red-zone touchdown efficiency and time of possession. Isphording mentored EMU quarterback Andy Schmitt, who set NCAA single-game records in 2008 with 76 pass attempts without an interception vs. Temple and 58 pass completions in a 56-52 win over CMU.

Sorry I should have qualified that this is my slightly informed opinion (that it is known by the recruits and that they have their guys). Only inside knowledge I have is someone who works with the Staff and the AD but isn't on the football staff told me what he heard. He didn't say the names just where they were from ("hearing that the new DC will be his guy at Toledo and the new OC the OC at Ohio") . The rest was pure speculation on my part (that the recruits know or that it was a done deal). I had also seen it elsewhere since (Alex reported hearing these two names as well and that at least the OC was known by CMC) so for me just confirmed what I heard. Always possible that it is just a rumor based on speculation.
Isphording and Heacock make sense. They have a relationship with Matt Campbell and have had success and have experience.
There are many people starting to challenge that notion or whether there were just comments taken out of context. I would be it is an internet legend...
What I read was that Jason Candle was more popular with players.
So the players hated Heacock and the AD at Toledo then names Heacock the Interim Head Coach?
Nick Piotrowicz, who is the Beat Writer for The Blade in Toledo, cited 2 sources and said on Twitter that Toledo Players want nothing to do with Jon Heacock as HC.
I trust Matt Campbell on this one. Campbell knows more than anyone. If that is who he wants, then I say okay.
Sounds like what you want from a DC, not someone who coddles them and makes them weak.
