Mess fired! And Pope

I doubt it. I think that you'd want to get the whole thing out of the way in one step.
Too much was made of all that. My feeling is when they decided they were going to "simplify" they basically forgot all of the things a spread can give you. They took the ideology out of the scheme and therefor had no direction.
Surprised it happened as fast as it did but glad CPR did it so they could catch on else where. It was time for a change but I realize that these are real people who have families.
I know the problems with the offense aren't all Mess's fault but I think if he did an honest assessment of his performance the last two years that he would agree it wasn't working out. Sometimes things aren't fair but CPR owes it to the program, fans and players to do what it's best for the whole.
Sucks that for this program to move forward that some have to lose their jobs, I Hope they can land on their feet and thankful for there hard work.

Maybe if he had broken out creative plays like against WVU all season, it would have gone differently. Need a big hire here
I support the move, but refuse to "celebrate" his firing. I'm sure Mess tried his best, but was clearly out of his league. Just business at this level.
Has anyone given any thought to Ken O'keefe? He is now with the Dolphins. Proven track record.
At least the Cyclones are going into 2014 with a two game winning streak. Alabama can't say that.

I was good friends with the Messinghams the past couple years since their daughter went to Gilbert High School with me. They were extremely friendly and I always felt very welcomed in their home. The whole family was a class act. Wish them the best.
It's not easy firing someone that you are close to, but I am glad Rhoads was able to do it. Had to be done.
A little surprised by Pope being let go, but it is not like the RB's have been lighting it up over the years.
Rhoads will have a good opportunity to upgrade staff and Recruiting. I look forward to his hire.

I smell the unmistakable stench of a hok troll.
Edit: After looking at posts...you may not be a hok troll...but damn dude. Seriously?
Just a word of caution on this. Sam R is going to go through the same thing AA went through in his time at QB. This will be his third OC in his fourth year here. I dont see Rhoads going too far outside the box in hiring an OC with a different scheme or we get that large learning curve we had not too long ago.
