Who is on the top of your list for OC?

[atlantacyclone]

I like the idea of Mangino... but will there be any food left for the team?

 

[CycoCyclone]

Mangino is a top vote getter? are you ******* high? his team HATED HIM. We need someone to play nicely in the locker room

 

[D UP Clones]

If you watched wyoming your concerns would disappear fom what I saw. The wyoming offense looked very well coached.

They about beat nebraska and put up 600 yards of offense against nebraska.

I would beg him to coach the offense.

My onl

y concern with Christensen is the following people:

Gary Pinkel
Brad Smith
Chase Daniel
Blaine Gabbert

Pinkel was an OC and has been an awesome recruiter of both QB and overall offensive players. Not hard to look good as OC at Missouri when you have NFL QB talent.

I think the odds of Klenakis getting the nod are fairly high. The question becomes, then, would a Mangino or someone similar take an assistant job focusing just on QBs. Let's face it, Klenakis & Sturdy had both been OC's and came to ISU for a job, albeit a 'lesser' position. Maybe someone else would come in at a position coach like they did, however is would then pose the question of how would the RB-position coach be addressed in a situation like this?

The offensive line had its trials and tribulations this year, no doubt. However, they were young, had a rash of injuries, and were running a new system. With experience gained and talent in the fold (most maybe 1 year away but they are there) we most definitely do not want change within this component of our players and existing system. Now the quality of the opponents went downward as the season ended, but there is no denying this unit improved in the face of the aforementioned issues.

Klenakis doesn't get it - then whoever comes in will need to mesh well with him as a coach. That and the QB play are paramount. Playmakers exist at the skill positions and that and working for Rhoads should attract someone with very good qualities and skills. Maybe those names being thrown out there (Schram, Christensen, Mangino, Stitt) will be very willing to do that, who knows. Just think a plan may have been in place for a while considering 2 former OCs are already on staff.

Sturdy took a "lesser position" that pays $30,000 more than he made at WSU.

Hoiberg effect?

I would like to see Stitt. IMO, this guy doesn't have an OC job at an FBS school only because the only head coaches that truly recognize his capabilities are guys with offensive backgrounds -- and Stitt doesn't want to work under a guy who will meddle with his offense.

Sentimental reasons...
I talked to a friend who went to Arizona State and everytime they had open position, some fans always clamored for Danny White

 

[CY88]

My top four:
1) Schramm
2) Rolovich
3) Roper
4) Stitt

Is ISU self insured for health care? If not, the spike in premiums from hiring Fat Bastard could bankrupt our athletic budget.

 

[dunar]

I may change my vote to Schramm: 2013 Quarterbacks Coach

(ignore #2 on the list, there's no way we could get that guy to come here... )

 

[Palmer]

Vote Mangino.....and laughed my *** off when O saw Clones21 on the list.

 

[dualthreat]

I feel bad for saying this but it's Mangino or bust for me. If we dont hire him I will ultimately be disappointed.

Find a guy who there is zero excuses for. A guy even the most unrealistic cyclone fan cannot blame for our struggles.

I'm in the same exact place. We need to get our offense in gear and Mangino knows how to do that. It's really pretty simple. With all of the others there is a bit of a question if what they did could translate to ISU. Mangino did it at freaking Kansas... against the SAME teams we play now.

I don't care if the guys is fat, yells a lot at practice, or whatever. He's won in the Big 12 at a place that is arguably harder to win at than ISU.

 

[TensasCy]

Brett Favre.

I know I'm going to catch a ton of crap for this, but I am going to say it anyway. I want Bobby Petrino. I know, I know, before you freak out on me let me get my say.

Guy will be back in the spotlight eventually. Not many offensive minds like his. He had his problems, biggest of which were the lies that he tried to tie off, but that's why you put him on a short leash. He has only his OC responsibilities, he stays for two years, makes our offense crazy, and he moves on. Leaving us with a ton of recruits from his offensive schemes, and ammo to get someone else after we have success.

At the moment, not many people are making me very excited, and I want results. Petrino will get those. Maybe it's way too soon to be talking about him again in the coaching community but if it were two or three years down the road, maybe I wouldn't sound so crazy.

You do realize Bobby Petrino currently has a head coaching job right?

Doesn't he have family from Iowa?

My issue with Mangino is he is a *****. I know one of our recruits specifically picked us because of how CPR treats his players compared to another coach who is a ***** like Mangino.
