Shaping of the football staff...

I could look this up on my own but is there anyone from his staff at Kansas that could be a potential hire?
Agree. If Mangino wants to coach the QB's the job is his. If Mangino wants to bring in someone else to coach the QB's then Mangino will handle the TE's. That is the way I see it. Completely up to Mangino. Rhoads said it is Mangino's offense.
I would want Mangino to concentrate on TE's and bring in an individual to be just an QB coach. The reason being is I think that since the QB is the heartbeat of the offense why not allow that person to focus solely on that position. Maybe CPR was trying to say he is going to give Mangino the opportunity to bring in someone that he wants to be either the TE or QB coach?
While I generally agree, coaching TE's is less work and he can concentrate more on the OC part.
While we're throwing around names of former QB's, why not Bret Meyer or Seneca Wallace since he's more than likely retiring within the next few days?
Hell, let's hire Marv Seiler as QB coach. He beat a pretty good Nebraska squad in his only start.
I would be completely OK with letting Mangino pick who he wants to coach his quarterbacks.
In fact, I think Rhoads should just hand him the keys and say have fun and score points. I'll talk to you after the games.

What I really like is CPR made it clear he wanted new blood, Mangino was his first choice despite having no previous connection. And he had to sell Mangino on becoming a Cyclone. My man crush on Rhoads is even greater than before. Our head coach is a keeper!!!!
I may be in the minority here but I hope they get someone who has some experience coaching QBs...which would probably leave any former Cyclones out.
I think a good to great QB coach would make a world of difference in the offense, especially with ISU's young QBs...to me, it's probably the most important offensive coach. Someone who is dedicated solely to them and can stay on them about mechanics, help them read defenses and make pre-snap adjustments, and has the ability to get them to understand the decision-making it takes to play QB...someone who can get them to develop and improve all those skills...a real teacher...
It may sound obvious but I think it's tougher than it sounds...it takes a certain skill as a coach to relate those things and I'm not sure there's been someone like that the last few years because the QBs haven't seemed to develop like they should...although Rohach did come on at the end of the year, but against some bad defenses.
