And with that Earle's boys were tough SOB's on the field.
They only lost when out-talented.
Is there a reason NOT to fire

With all the offensive talent we have coming in next year, they better make a change if this offensive ineptitude continues. Hate to waste that kind of talent with a ****** OC that doesn't know what he's doing.
no reason not to fire mess. guy has been over his head as an offensive coordinator since he was first appointed to the position. keep the same playbook, put sturdy or klenaikis in charge of the play calling, and DEVELOP AN OFFENSIVE IDENTITY. inept does not count as an offensive identity.
I said it Friday, yesterday and I'll say it again today.
Sage Rosenfels is a future ISU coach, and I could see him taking over for Mess.

Wow this is an ignorant post which makes you look like the idiot.
1. No one is discussing restructuring the offense and it's not necessary.
2. I did say it's on PR and that in my opinion PR must fire him.
3. No one has said the firing of CM is likely. It's a message board dip****, people talk here. If you don't want to talk about it, **** off.
It's clear to me that if not CM the OC should be Sturdy. Klenakis needs to focus on the OL.
Chiz hired his fishing buddies as coordinators for a year. That comes to mind.
I would think a staff rearrangement of assignments would be the most we would see in the next two months, not firings.
I think that all depends on what type of an offense we want to be. If we want to be pass first, then Sturdy. If we want to be run first, than Klenakis.
I know people are down on Klenakis after yesterday, but he knows what he's doing. I think his unit we'll be greatly improved this year.
I don't disagree but it seems like we'd be best served in the short term for K to put all his energy into the OL.
I think you're right. I'm just of the opinion that a firing now does more good than harm. It's not personal, it's business.
Both are more than capable. I think last year we actually saw a lot of Sturdy's input in the game plan. Time and time again we came out with a solid first drive or two and then Mess couldn't make adjustments, by that point it was out of Sturdy's hands. That's purely speculation.
Sadly, I think we'll see a lot of similar games this year.
Die in a fire.
I was not high on Mess after last year, but willing to give him another year. If I wake up on Tuesday to learn he's been canned and either Klenakis or Sturdy was promoted, I would be hard all day.
Seriously, I think most of the posters here could call a better game than what we saw last night. Look up Richardson's stats. Statistically speaking, he's far and away the best QB we've had in years, but Mess isn't getting that out of him. Hell, the run blocking wasn't that bad after the TF injury, but naturally we abandoned the run game.
Mess is garbage.
I hate how Rhoads does that. If somebody is underperforming you shouldn't just give them a different position group. You should fire them.
wowsers been watching the replay on an off today. left tackle got blown up every play. man the oline is not good; and slow. we in big trouble. i am assuming oline issues cannot be fixed overnight.
I think Paul Rhoads is a good "face" for the program to have for media/fan purposes. He needs to make some changes behind the scenes.
1. Can Messingham and promote Klenakis or Sturdy for interim OC.
2. If they can't make any improvements, hire a real OC at the end of the year.
3. Recruit better players--especially on defense. Our football team looks small. We need less fourth tier undersized Texas/Florida players, more athletes from Wisconsin, Iowa, etc. Since 2000, more of our players from Iowa have gone to the NFL than Texas/Florida combined.
