Woody, Kempt and Mahoney

Woodys Tuesday presser 4.5 hrs long

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

If this all went down last week, my first call would have been Brian Hartline but he took the USF job.

Guarantee if this happened last week, Golesh would be our HC.

A couple local interviews.

I actually think LaVar Woods would do well.

Woodley is going to be that guy, he's just not that guy yet.

First call is Tim Polasek at NDSU.

1. That other coach from Wisconsin we currently have is doing pretty well at MBB
2. He's a combined 26-2 as HC
3. Can bring a staff with him, plus a lot of roster pieces
4. NDSU president is coming to Iowa State soon anyway, might as well bring the HC

If Tim says no, you call Scheelhase

This one is brutal and it seems like Kelly is our best option.

Losing Matt Campbell is as brutal as it gets. Before he came here we were the laughing stock of the conference. He brings in guys like Montgomery, Breece, Purdy, Lazard, McDonald, etc. and gets the guys to buy into the program and makes us respectable again. He was easily the best possibly candidate for the job. I know we all had a lot of frustrations with some of the play calling, coaching personnel, etc. but everyone here knew there wasn't a better fit at the head coaching gig than CMC. Good luck to him, and without him, the last 10 years would have been hopeless in football. Wish he would've left earlier in the season because this puts the team in a horrible situation.

I think he'd retire before starting over there. I bet they keep the assistant the players were clamoring for.

Agree....I just think Matt will go hard after him.

If JP doesnt atleast make a call to Saban he's not doing his job.

 

[12191987]

He didn't entirely gut Toledo when he came to ISU (Candle was OC there & was elevated to HC)
Just thinking they have some sort of succession plan in place given the success of the culture established, so why not continue with the same if it has been working (to an extent)

That wasn’t Campbell’s choice.

Woodley/Kempt. Fug it, get crazy, passion means more than experience.

 

[ripvdub]

Scheelhaase, Grubb, the Indiana OC, or anyone that only likes the color black. That's the real question... so we keep the black unis??

Many things suck about the timing of this but this is a big one.

 

[RagingCloner]

Call Brian Kelly

 

[12191987]

If JP doesnt atleast make a call to Saban he's not doing his job.

Pollard has a chance to go back and set this whole motherfucking timeline right.

Hire Brian Kelly as he should have in 2006.

 

[BoomerClone]

This just sucks.

 

[12191987]

Call Brian Kelly

Heh. I just posted this too.

We can finally fix the Chizik mistake.

 

[AuH2O]

You don't want him. He lived off Klieman and he's just flat not very bright. He couldn't handle the media in a job like this one.

Also, imagine being such a miserable ******* that Mark Farley decided he didn't want you around anymore. That's a thing that happened.

Not saying you have to be smart to be a good football coach. But Entz always seemed like a big-time dumbass.

 

[LAClone]

We survived firing McCarney after he edged us to the next level and plateaued. We’ll survive this too.

this is the most optimistic ive ever seen you

Toledo chose to hire Candle as the HC (get promoted) - don't think Campbell was fine with that? Maybe forced Toledo's hand to do just that (possibly)
