Are you saying we'll be switching to the Split Veer?

Earle "JellyBelly" Bruce would be proud. He had the Cyclones as the #2 offense in the nation running the veer.
Whomever is on CMC's list and whomever he chooses to extend an offer. It's that simple for me - he's proven in a short time he knows what he's doing and until proven otherwise I'm unable to second-guess.
I think WR coach Gasser is being overlooked to become the new OC. He has been with CMC for 7 yrs, has OC experience at a division 2 school, and has been in the box the last 2 years with Manning.i see Matt grooming him to be the new OC.
The old Andy Reid method. He’s always been the OC of his teams. His “OC” gets hired away(seems like every other year), he promotes from within, he’s still successful because it’s still his offense and it’s still a coach familiar with his offense helping him run it. Wash, rinse, repeat.
His biggest problem was that he had to try to continue running Herman’s offense instead of his own, while being micro managed. Then the next year we bring in another assistant and decide to start implementing part of his Nevada offense, instead of letting Mess just be the OC.
Yeah he seemed pissed with the passes against KSU when runs would have kept the clock running. Always wondered if he heard the play calls to the qbs helmet, or if he could chime in. If anyone knows, let me know. I assumed he couldnt.
There aren't any helmet radios in college football. It all comes from the sideline.
Makes sense, since we are always looking towards the sideline.
I understand what you are saying but Manning wasn't in the box he was always on the sideline calling plays.
We look to the sideline to see if we are checking out of a called play.
Manning was 100% in the box. ISU's game notes said as much.
Well I hate to break it to you the game notes aren't always accurate. I'll trust my own eyes when standing less than 20 ft from him on the sideline.
He called plays from the press box. They would show him there during games on telecasts as well.
Apparently you haven't visited your optometrist in a while...
People realize that if Manning would have been hired away a week or two after the bowl game that CMC would have the time to hire from outside the program and get the new OC integrated into the program in time for the Spring game. With the opening coming so late and other positions to now fill it makes sense that CMC will either call the plays himself or promote from within and have them learn on the job.
I think that CMC will call most of the plays this year due to his experience doing so and for continuity. Next season he will have the entire off season to address the position and hopefully after another bowl game other coaches will see ISU as a real up and comer and not a one hit wonder. So CMC will have a bigger pool to find the right person for the job that could take the offense to the next level.
Whoever the OC in the future is, ISU will never have a Texas Tech/Baylor style offense. That's not CMC. I'd like to see ISU turn into KSU 2.0. Meaning that the offense is more about ball control but can still be aggressive when needed.
Again, Manning was hired away late in the off season which puts CMC in a tough spot to fill that position from outside the program. If this happens earlier, we'd know who the OC would be already.
