OC's available at the end of the season...
- Thread starter ketelmeister
- Start date
Come one. You know this goes much deeper than one game. At Iowa State we need coaches who can do more with less. As an OC Messingham has done nothing to show me he has the ability to do that.
I like Iowa native and current Louisiana Lafayette offensive coordinator/QBs coach Jay Johnson Ragin Cajuns Athletics - 2012 Football Coaching Staff

You are right, the entire offensive staff needs to be gutted. Not one of them has done anything over the Rhoads tenure to show they deserve any more time collecting checks in Ames.
Let's talk about the Strength and Conditioning coaches. Holy crap do our players continually look weak. Not just this year but in all of the current era they look and act weak. ISU should not continually be pushed around on the line. The worst was the fact that Tulsa destroyed both of the ISU lines in the Liberty Bowl and also the fact that ISU could not really get a push on either line against freaking UNI! Oh yeah, UNI has now lost 3 in a row. They are an average freaking FCS team and owned ISU.
Steve Loney could be available if Tampa Bay makes a HC change. He would instantly improve the O-Line and be an upgrade at OC too. Nobody new and exciting, but an improvement nonetheless. Not that that's saying much in our present situation.
Edit: For those calling for Sage, he'd probably be a good QB coach in that situation. Very familiar with each other obviously.

I'm pretty sure Loney is retiring from the NFL this year regardless what happens to the head coach.
Some of you guys are really swinging for the fences and dreaming. I really doubt Rhoads will hire from within again following this season, but I highly doubt he goes after some of these big names that are being thrown out.
I didn't read much of the replies here but a couple things.
I think Coach Mess would have a lot of success if he had OSU's players too.
Here is the problem.
#1. O and D Lines. this should be a priority. This makes everyone better. (so #2,3 below get better with this)
#2. OC
#3. QB

How about NO!!! At the end of the season there shouldn't be a single offensive coach on staff that retains their job. They all need to be fired.
#1 is number one problem with the offensive the last three seasons. The OL play has been poopy. I know the excuses that they are young, and there are injuries but the performance so far stinks. I don't like the play calling but even if we did get a new OC nothing will change unless the OL gets better.
I did a little research and found a potential OC replacement if Messingham ever loses his job. Can/should I still post it in here? This thread went away from actually naming potential candidates and is now just complaining about Messingham like 15 other threads.
Is anyone admitting that maybe we were wrong about Tom Herman and wishing we still had him doing this for us?
I for one would like to see who you suggest, just as long as it is original and not simply a name of either a former player or a head coach who has been fired or will be fired.
I admit it. Granted I didn't really have a strong dislike for Herman until the Rutgers game. I maintain if he would have been here last year we would have won a couple more games.
