I agree. Timing sucks. Austin Flynn just got the head coach job at dear park a couple weeks ago. I was hoping that he could have found his way on the staff.
Great up and coming coaches will WANT to work for CMC. I would think CMC will have his pick of great young coaches who want to learn from him and who will fit the culture at ISU to a T.
Not too sure coaches were flocking to Ames to experience the miracle being built under CPR...
All the more reason to make sure the hire is a fit for the “culture”. Miss here and it is very visible to everyone involved. The mark of a secure leader is to not screw up the good of your predecessor. Too often people feel the compelling need to “make their mark” or do things the “right way” (i.e. “their way”) when the best decision is to make decisions based on the talent you have and tweak what already works vs. changing directions (see Rhoads, Paul - OC debacle). In some ways the leader needs to bend to the talent and not the other way around.
I'd MUCH rather have Hofher as OC than Ayeni. Not a shot at Ayeni, but I don't think he's ready for that yet. I'd be happy with Hofher as long as we bring in a good OL coach.
Guessing the Colts may be a little gun shy right now talking about new coaches until the contracts are signed and the guy is in Indianapolis.
The Colts are a complete mess right now. Josh McDaniels even screwed them over. Their fans aren't happy at all. Not the best situation to go into, however, as I said before, very little to no expectations I guess.
I expect two great coaching hires to come in the next month. One to fill the already vacated slot by Ayeni and now presumably Manning. If Campbell can attract good players, he can attract good coaches. I would encourage poaching from a smaller school, some one up and coming.
I thought we still had room to fill the assistant head coach position Ayeni vacated. I maybe be off on the title but Ayeni held two positions if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Williams or somebody else who knows better can comment?
I believe we filled Ayeni's assistant coach spot with Scheelhaase, but the NCAA added another assistant coach spot that hasn't been filled yet.
