Shaping of the football staff...

Quote from Rhoads on if Mangino will handle QB's next year...

"Have not settled on that yet. Louis will definitely be running backs coach and as we figure out the next spot, we will decide whether Mark coordinates from the tight ends spot or from the quarterback position."

I am reading into this that Mark will do TE's and they hire outside for QB's. Just a guess. What do you guys think?

 

[Cyclones01]

SAGE!!!

 

[im4cyclones]

Not Sage, Austin Flynn.

 

[MNCyGuy]

SAGE!!!

Or Austin Flynn?

 

[MaccloNe]

Now they can hire Flynn, Sage or AA as QB coach.

 

[Luth4Cy]

Chris, any chance Sturdy moves over to QB's?

 

[dualthreat]

I feel like the OC should always coach either the QBs or the Offensive Line. Just my opinion.

 

[rbrook]

I think he wants to sit down with Mark and see what he is most comfortable with. It may determine who the final hire is. He may have two guys on the line waiting.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Ciclone]

Still waiting to hear back on a QB coach he wants, perhaps?

 

[CyFan61]

Now they can hire Flynn, Sage or AA as QB coach.

AA = Ames High School something (not OC)
Sage = none
Flynn = Actual collegiate coaching as OC

 

[WISCY1895]

I hope he is the TE coach and we bring in someone to just focus on QB development, I would be happy if they hired a young QB coaching mind from a mid-major that is hungry to be an OC someday.

 

[jkclone]

My guess is it depends on which is open in who we hire or Mangino will coach the opposite of what we hire.

Either way I think we get one of them

 

[rbrook]

I would like Austin Flynn for either QB or TE coach. He also has Texas connections which is where he may be the most valuable initially. Plus he has OC aspirations and would learn from one of the best in Mangino. Maybe he could slide over as OC if/when Mangino leaves.

 

[Cyclones01]

AA = Ames High School something (not OC)
Sage = 10 years of experience as a backup QB in the NFL
Flynn = Actual collegiate coaching as OC

FIFY

 

[dualthreat]

Any chance Strohmeier (sp?) from IWCC comes here as position coach?

 

[Cyclones01]

Also, I'd totally be down with Flynn as QB coach as well

 

[CYUL8R]

All my wishes are being granted lately, so why not ask another...

Sage for QB coach. Groom him to take over for Mangino when he leaves in a few years. Make it happen, CPR.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

FIFY

Don't forget his Sagecopter!!!!

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Austin Flynn will not be a coach at ISU next year.
