Special Teams

- Start date
Don’t have one. From everything that came out after the season Langs was just the coordinator in title only and they still managed it as a staff.
I’ve heard Poteat actually has been a big contributor to special teams

Rob Grande is in his sixth season at Iowa State, currently serving as the Executive Special Teams Quality Control/Analyst. Grande spent the first three years...
From everything I’ve been told, Grande is a real trash person. I hope he gets canned after this year and we can find someone who knows what they’re doing and treats the players with respect and decency at the very leastRob Grande - Football Coach - Iowa State University Athletics

Heard special teams legend Rory Walling has been helping out a bit as well.
Felt our ST was adequate last season. At least felt like there were fewer gaffes and guffaws.
Excited for the new kicker Konrardy out of Dubuque, CW and Blum may have hyped him up a little too much on their most recent Sunday pod.

I cannot wait to watch Iowa block a kick/punt against us for the 4th year in a row
Oh, so is this like when you "heard" one of the former Cyclone NFL draft prospects bombed an interview with the Chiefs? Only this time it's actively bashing someone currently on our coaching staff? If you "heard" he's such a trash person, why do you think Matt looks the other way? Or are you suggesting CMC has had a blind spot for the past 4 years??

That's quite the job title:
Executive Special Teams Quality Control/Analyst
Matt Campbell, Hank Poteat, Rob Grande, and Rory Walling among others. ST’s by committee.
I hope that works. Sounds like ST could end up being the red-headed step child as coaches focus on their primary duties.
Early in my career I had a director say that if something is important, you put one person in charge, otherwise there will be a lack of accountability, the task will eventually fail due to any number of reasons and you will end up with a room full of people pointing blame at each other.
It was his "one neck to grab" theory of management. (He had a lot of sayings like this). It wasn't fool proof, but it did seem to work.
But hey, he was old school....
