Where Iowa State might turn to find an offensive coordinator replacement

[demoncore1031]

Name I don't think I have seen yet is Texas St OC Mack Leftwich. I honestly don't know if he was the play caller with GJ Kinne being the headcoach but they averaged 36.7 ppg and 450 yards on offense.

Sean Shaw played for him this season. Didn't do very well though.

and most likely, he doesn’t hire anyone as OC and just calls the plays himself like he did when Manning left the first time.

That would be a huge mistake. We need someone who can continue to build on what was started last year.

Jeff Woody has a good take on this on his podcast. We don't need a complete teardown and rebuild on offense. We need continuity and incremental progress from where we are. I think Clanton or the Ohio guy could do that.

I think Clanton is a great O-Line coach. Just not sold on him as the OC.

Clanton was the offensive coordinator at UNI.

As for me, Mouser or bust.

I love it when someone comments on an article and did not read the article thoroughly.

 

[MTCyclone43]

He was listed as AN offensive coordinator, and reportedly did not call plays.

For 5 years? The article said Clanton was the OC for 5 years.

Even though Mouser and the rest of the staff absolutely despise you due to your social media, this brings me some amusement.

Just as good an option as anyone else being mentioned imo.

The article was incorrect. One year.

Okay, that changes the narrative just a little. Thanks for the update.

Spit balling names here. Terry Allen. son played here and coached here. Danny Freund South Dakota State OFC. Previously Coached QB'S, RB's and WR's at North Dakota (UND).

If not an internal candidate, it'll be Lou Ayenyi. Come back home Lou and Patrice...

Art Briles? I’m kidding

LOL that'd make Baylor's fan base head explode.

I've heard you say this 2x now. Who is the other coach you are referring to?

If you don't want to say, that's fine, but I'm not sure why you couldn't tell us.

I would assume he’s referring to Rob Grande.

Not a chance on Terry.

I guess not. That's all I do.

He’s gotta be an old man

Hoping for Gordon. If not, then Mouser.

Interesting. I don't pay attention to UNI football. He must have had some sort of leadership oversight of the offense even if he didn't call the plays. I don't want him as OC; he has his hands full with the line as it is (managing a room of 25 linemen is more difficult than 4 quarterbacks).

I've warmed to the idea of Gordon. He was very good under first year HC Alex Golesh. He wouldn't come back if he knew that Campbell would try to meddle with things. However, I think we lose a couple of coaches in the future due to that move.
