I personally think that you either go with a small school coordinator or a power five position coach (power five coordinator if you can get the right one). Not calling plays at Toledo to calling plays against Oklahoma just seems like a big jump to me. Campbell being involved in the offense makes a difference to some extent. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

This would seem to be a logical assumption. Also, guessing we'll complete the circle by choosing Heacock as the DC later today.
I'm assuming after Candle got the Toledo HC position, Manning was on Campbell's shortlist for OC- Manning was a Football Scoop OL coach of the year with Bill Bedenbaugh (OU), Mike Bloomgren (STAN), Mario Cristobal (AL). That is some pretty good company considering Cristobal was in the conversation for the Miami HC job and every single one of those teams is known for their OL talent and performance. I heard that Manning had a lot of input in the Offensive game plan and play calling at Toledo along with Candle. I honestly don't see this being much different than having Candle as our OC which many posters loved. I realize why there is scrutiny right now but I feel like this is as solid of a hire and we could have gotten ^^
Or CMC has very discerning taste and he was negotiating the total financial package for his OC that he has worked with for years. Note I used the word "discerning" but in a different way.
Isn't it fun when people use big words to convey intelligence, but they use the wrong word, so they double down on sounding dumb?
I am a little surprised by this. But I like the young gun approach, so we'll have to see how this works out :yes:
Now I'm paranoid about MY posts! And honestly think he meant "disturbing" and auto-correct stepped on his johnson. Which I disagree with as well - being disturbed by the hire that is.
Maybe this was true years ago, but I do not believe its the case anymore. Yeah we are close to the bottom of the Big 12 right now, but look at the coaches we had during these times. None of them light the world on fire. Danny Mac had some success, but couldn't sustain it. Chizik got a once in a lifetime player at Auburn and got him a national title. Paul took some good recruits and won some games. Then a few years of poor recruiting turned into what we saw the last few years. Being in Ames doesn't hurt us like it use to. Recruits are willing to travel depending on coaches, facilities, and fan support. We have the money and the facilities and I think we have the coach to do it. We need a culture change and I can see that happening in the past month.
Can we all agree it's too early to tell about this hire and move on to making fun of KC for being old?
I'm all in with U re The Youth Movement...btw the fans said the same thing about Donnie Duncan's staff being too young which of course included Bobby Elliott and Mack Brown who was Off Coordinator......
Funny how history seems to repeat itself ...time after time..............
Go Cyclones
Seriously though... Was Lincoln nice?
KC never like him. He was too dang tall. She's a short little orangutan. Very easily intimidated.
