Can confirm John Kuceyeski is leaving the Iowa State football staff. Will be the running backs and fullbacks coach at Cornell. #Cyclones

Cornell? This doesn't exactly seem like a lateral move.

I was at the Ticket Office yesterday and saw him loading stuff into his car, but I thought he was just going on some sort of recruiting trip. He seemed to be a "glue guy" who helped keep pieces together for this coaching staff. Wasn't he one of the guys that Campbell called right away to help him make the transition here?

Wonder what this will mean for Mitchell Moore? Hopefully, his role will become even more important.

"director of scouting" is not an on field coach, where as the RB coach is. I am sure he wanted a job on the field and Campbell is supportive of this.

Going from a Director leaving to a Position coach is an upgrade regardless of level

Plus it's a short drive to Mount Vernon. Likely won't uproot his entire family.

Wrong Cornell but you already knew that

It doesn't specify whether it's Cornell College or Cornell University.

EDIT: Sounds like it's Cornell University, which is in New York.

Amazing that you actually could identify John Kuceyeski.

Dang he was a cool guy and sounded like an asset. He had some great interviews on the call in show and with Chris (I think?)

 

[Redman97]

This guy was super impressive in the podcast with CW.

It's okay guys I just submitted my application for his spot

 

[NickTheGreat]

Seems like a weird time of year for this, but I understand it. Sad to see him go :sad:

Some transition is always going to happen. The core group is there and not going anywhere.

Players leaving and now coaching turnover? Let's blow this program up, time to start over!

 

[Frak]

I would guess that if he does well, we could see him back as a position coach in a few years.

I'm assuming this is Cornell NY, and NOT Cornell IA Football...
