TJ promotes 2

Erik Crawford and Stevie Taylor both promoted to assistants. I am assuming that something changed that allows more assistants, or did we lose someone?

Well…considering how every sport now has 100 scholarships, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some requirement to also have more coaches to handle the personnel increase.

(I have no idea, and am joking, but it honestly wouldn’t surprise me)

They're allowed to have more "assistant coaches" now, so a couple of staff members get that title bump. WBB did the same thing recently.

This is so concerning. TJ’s leaving.

So they can have five "coaches" (formally) now instead of three?

Correct. 5 assistants plus a video coordinator can now be on the practice floor and can recruit off campus.

Interesting.

Any changes for football like that?

I don't believe they've settled on what football staffs are going to look like yet but I'd be shocked if there wasn't a fairly significant change/expansion once everything is finalized.

I'm ready for the 'I don't understand why the 14/15th player isn't getting more minutes' moments because ISU drops a late Saturday afternoon road game.

No more volunteer coaches according to the article

What about the "Why did we offer a scholarship to player 14/15? He's not Big 12 caliber and won't be in the rotation." moments?

I'm just ready for Cyclone basketball. Looking to be another great season.

Is the Video Coordinator job duties include pissing off Jerome Tang?

Football first blasphemer!

Should we really be adding more assistant coaches when we are going to have to cut half the department next year?

 

[Cydwinder]

Whar Edozie!?

I know this is a running CF joke, but it got me actually interested. Apparently he’s doing motivational speaking in the UK. Seems to be doing pretty well!

TJ has requested that Jamie relocate many high donor fans so that the section immediately behind the Cyclone bench be reserved for assistant coaching staff.

Revenue generating team. Highly doubt football or men’s basketball is going to experience cuts. Golf, soccer, softball etc yeah those programs are going to be interesting
