Mangino OUT as OC. Sturdy is the guy!

[CyArob]

Rhoads' tire fire is pretty impressive. Look at all those people he has thrown under the bus.

 

[bosco]

Don't have a lot. Mangino didn't want to go with Lanning because apparently he is "limited". Which is odd to me because Richardson cant even run this year.

Is his limitation in the play book? Because Rhoads has said that JL can make all the throws. It definitely isn't in running.

 

[Luth4Cy]

Paul really should have told the team first. That's the only problem I have with any of this based on what we know.

 

[CoKane]

I'm shocked.

Supposedly he's never had a great grasp of the whole offense, and even on Saturday there were plays they could call for Sam they couldn't for Joel. With that said it clearly didn't seem to matter so I don't see it as a huge issue.

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

This is no speculation, "Wontons are delicious,"

 

[HawkeyesWin]

This is a dumpster fire. Pollard needs to step in and remove CPR.

Except that this is crabmeat rangoon...Now I am hungry, damn you.

You know what the bad thing is....if Sturdy gets the offense going Rhoads can use, "It was Mangino's fault" and stay another year.

If Sturdy gets the offense going, we might finish with 5 wins.

Who cares. They are big boys. Move on and move up. It's a new beginning.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

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

I'm mad that you're trying to make me choose. Don't tell me what to do!

If ISU wanted to get out in front of the story before the media started to hear things (which ISU successfully did), there was no way to tell the players first.

well I don't think Pollard cares much about what Hawkeye fans think.

I'm pretty sure he didn't have the opportunity to do so if the timeline is correct. I don't have any issue with him announcing it now.

 

[carvers4math]

Consult Mangino for won ton identification, he probably doesn't have much else to do.

who cares if the story breaks? What is there to get in front of?

 

[NickTheGreat]

It was a minor travesty that our stud WR's and 5th year Senior QB couldn't get the offense moving. And then when we prove to have a darn good freshman running back . . . nothing.

I don't think Mangino was the whole problem, but the Offense hadn't produced under him.

is this 1985? People have these things called cell phones now, you can even send group texts! You guys should look into getting one.

If CW and the media starts to tweet things like "hearing Mangino is no longer with the team", what do you think everyone's reaction would be?
