Detroit could release him to his new job easily enough.
Assistant Coaches
- Thread starter CyBlitz
- Start date
Well he was getting paid $240k but they have to fine him $10k every game his unit screws up.
This guy must’ve worked with a friend of mine Bill O’Boyle. Bill was on staff as OL coach until Deon got there and then left for Northwestern.Olson was grad assistant here and also has had a stint coaching with CJR at SDSU, Meadows played with him as a player at SDSU.
Ryan Olson - Run Game Specialist/Offensive Assistant - Football Coaches - Northwestern Athletics
Ryan Olson joined the Northwestern coaching staff in January of 2025, and he will continue to primarily work with the Wildcat offensive line in his second se...nusports.com
If not, I believe someone on the staff could temporarily take his place on the recruiting trail, who typically wouldn’t.
Just for my own brain, trying to sort out what I think people are speculating in this thread.
OC/TE's - Roehl
QB's - Kempt
WR's - OPEN
RB's - OPEN
OL - Olson (Northwestern) OR Meadows (Northern Illinois)
OC/TE's - Roehl
QB's - Kempt
WR's - OPEN

Roehl could also be OC/RB and if Chris Meyers follows from WSU could stay as TE/recruiting coordinator.

I am very skeptical of the Kempt thing. I haven’t seen that anywhere but this thread. The OL thing definitely is confusing unless one is like the assistant OL coach or something
On the flip side, think about how many more times the receiving punt team would run into the ball if he wasn’t paid that much.
Wonder if it’s worth looking into Zach Lujan coming to Ames. Was QB at SDSU when Rogers was DC, then moved to offensive staff. Went to Northwestern after Rogers’ first year.
Is currently OC/QB coach. Unsure what pay looks like.
Think there’s some guys on that Northwestern roster that could be really good and would have interest playing for CJR

Guessing he isn’t stepping down from OC to come here as a position coach.
That is what it sounds like by the way he was talking that he will bring his Defensive coaches with him. I could see him trying to keep some of the ISU coaches on offense. Since he is a defensive coach he wants his style of defensive and that is putting pressure on the QB. If he wants to keep a bunch of the players on offensive try and keep the coaches on the side of the ball.
Isn’t he one guy he talked about in his presser, not as a coach, but someone he got from Iowa?

I'm kinda hoping for all new offensive coaches. Kempt as QB coach would be cool though. If Rogers likes a power run first offense, maybe that improves our chances to keep Hanson and some of the TEs.
I mean UNIs OC came here to be a OLine coach last year? or two years? I looked at that time and our position coaches were making more than the UNI head coach was making.
Not according to what has been said, in news conferences, and from CW etc. It opens on Jan 2nd just like everyone else.
