He isn’t coming back here as an assistant has a way better job , but Golesh is my number 1 target for HC if Campbell ever leaves.
Tom Manning Needs To Go
- Thread starter Thomasrickj
- Start date
His arm is meant to throw down field not 3 yard crossing routes or throws all the way to the sideline. I’ve never seen an OC so scared to move DOWN the field
We all laugh and point at Iowa and BF, but CMC needs to actually have the balls to fire Manning. We’re wasting talent with his play calling
I was still surprised to see his sideline throws fall short. Previously he'd been pretty good at getting the ball to the outside.

Find an outsider and get some new ideas here. Don't just keep the same old thing going.
Why in the hell didn’t X reach that ball out on that last 3rd down?
Also- my opinion is that Campbell should not have sent Gilbert out there in that spot after coming off missing 2 FGs. It’s 4th and inches. Get the 1st and get it closer.

When my 15 yr old is saying how bad it is…. You know it is bad…. Need to be more aggressive. The best drive was when they used tempo and quick plays…
Some of you fans are unbearable. I bet after our first three games you didn’t think “Manning is the absolute worst.” I understand the competition wasn’t the same as these last two weeks, but how much of the ineptitude is on Dekkers? He has been less than impressive and holds onto the ball wayy too long, wayy too often
Unfortunately, with our trash O Line the best we’re going to get are shallow crosses.
Oh I’ve definitely been on the manning sucks train even when ISU was putting up inflated offense numbers a few years ago.
We’ve had the best offensive numbers in ISU history with manning as the OC
Yep. I still think he doesn’t put players in the best position to win.
Which is proof by our one possession game record. We almost never win one possession games
I'm getting some hate for this so feel like I need to address again. Manning is a problem fact. But when he was gone the offensive play calling was a problem. Campbell has his hands all over it, until he takes them off nothing is going to change weather its Manning or someone else. Clearly wasn't calling for Campbell to be gone, so where am I wrong? And unless Campbell self-identifies the issue, which I don't see happening with Manning loyalty , he can do whatever the hell he wants with the staff. We are constantly trying to hold on to him, so you no damn well know no one will tell him what to do with his staff.
I don’t fault Dekkers for the turnovers fully because I like aggressiveness but they are ending up being massive setbacks. Today and against Baylor were huge huge turning point. Sadly we have to assume he throws at least one and likely two INTs every game and hope we can counter but we aren’t doing that. Very costly.
