Mangino OUT as OC. Sturdy is the guy!

[19clone91]

Gotta love 10 pages of speculation on here.

Truth is we probably wont know exactly went down till after the season.

Are people mad that Magino is gone or mad that Rhoads may have done something to try and fix what's broke?

 

[tazclone]

I would guess Mangino doesn't want to slow it down and pound the rock, and that's what we need to do with 2 good young RB's and a QB that can run the read option.

Herman did decent with the offense for what he had to work with, the Pinstripe Bowl sucked, but that is really the biggest knock on Herman I have. Messingham shouldn't have happened.

I think we get 2-3 wins to close out the season, and CPR will be back next year, which until the second half of the Baylor game I was not excited about. Now I am excited for the final stretch here as I think some good things can happen.

Look at your first sentence as how Herman could have done better. He had three NFL OL, the only two iSu WRs to ever get paid inthe NFL as WRs and some damn good backs. You can deamn well bet that Rhoads wanted to pound the rock more when Herman was here and had the talent to do so.

Let's see who starts next game and that wil solve the mystery whether this one is related to QB issue or not.

Did Ayeni get hired based on Mangino's recommendation or was he hired by PR?

 

[Tazzels]

Chuck Long made the comment that the Iowa State Mangino is not the same one that coached at Oklahoma. Mangino seemed to be collecting a pay check with an eye on retirement. I don't think he was 100% emotional invested in his job and it showed by the results on the field. His failure against Iowa in the second half was evident.

 

[DeereClone]

What? I just said that Rhoads wanted to start lanning and Mangino did not.

Yeah, exactly.

Everyone on here wanted Lanning. We got him, probably thanks to CPR and no thanks to MM.
MM is now gone, which means we get more of Lanning, and people seem to be mad about it.

The people are getting what they want out of this and are ****** at Rhoads for giving them what they want.

 

[clone52]

I think this totally makes sense. I think MM kept Sam in because he thought it gave him a better passing game. As a defensive minded coach I would think CPR would favor a strong running game.

Either that or wouldn't let Sam run for fear of him getting hurt. Now we have Joel, Sam and Grant, all of whom are at least decent QBs. No reason not to use any of them in the running game.

 

[tazclone]

i would bet a lot that the last straw was the qb. And maybe Rhoads was the one that wanted to keep Sam.

So...Rhoads wants Sam and Mangino quits/gets fired leaving Rhoads as the man in charge of the offanse and yet the guy he wants is not the starter?

Seriously? That is funny.

Dammit Bryce!

Was just going to point out this might explain the conflicting statements CPR has made about Lanning, and his play. He might have been trying (unsuccessfully) to cover for his OC. Not on the CPR bandwagon, but it would explain some things.

 

[Omaha Cy]

That he didn't tell the players is worse than Chizik's 2 minute goodbye where he didn't look one player in the eye

********. This affects half of the team, if that...not saying that defensive players don't know/like Mangino, but it's not the same thing as running with your tail between your legs, when you've been working for a full week on an exit like Chizik did.

I got a feeling things went down this morning in a rapid manner, and that was that.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Ok I don't get individuals on this site. Everyone has complained about Mangino and his play calling, and wanting Sturdy calling the plays. Now that we have this, everyone is jumping on CPR. Can we atleast wait to see what will happen first before we even jump on this change?

This is great! This is the best abrupt, kick in the face change that we could hope for in the middle of a season. Let's see what happens next!

 

[besserheimerphat]

Now you've got me speculating about wontons. Mmmm, wontons...

***** please, those are rangoons.

 

[cycloner29]

Did you just hear screams from all the Ames restaurants? They are ******!!

 

[CapnCy]

Gotta love 10 pages of speculation on here.

Truth is we probably wont know exactly went down till after the season.

Actually, the call in show tonight....let's hope Denny from Clear Lake, Jerry from Ames, Wes from Story City or the guy from Florida ask a tough question...put him on the spot!

 

[dosry5]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it....but it I bet Hickory Park is really ****** over this.

 

[isu81]

Feels like a desperation move by Rhoads to show JP he was willing to make drastic changes to right the ship. Interesting that Wally's job is safe, even though offense and defense have been equally inconsistent.

Wouldn't want Wally to get disgraced mid-season. As little chance as i think there is Paul is here next year (20%), I believe there is zero that Wally is here.

right, because if there's one thing Paul is known for, it's for covering for other people's mistakes.

First day on a message board? If we all waited for cold hard facts instead of posting wild speculation/rumors it would be a pretty lonely place around here.

 

[BMWallace]

Hasnt mangino had issues in the past with player treatment? Could be old habits coming back up. With things going bad, who knows how tempers might flair.
