Report: Bill Bleil lands at Rhode Island

According to the rumors website FootballScoop.com, Bill Bleil is in line to be the next offensive coordinator at Rhode Island. 

Bleil has been on Paul Rhoads’ staff for all five seasons at Iowa State. In addition to being Iowa State’s assistant head coach, Bleil was the offensive line coach for the first four seasons and spent 2013 working with the tight ends. 

It is important to note that Iowa State has yet to confirm that Bleil will not be a part of Rhoads’ staff in 2014, although this news comes as anything but a surprise. Numerous sources have told CycloneFanatic.com over the last month that Bleil would not be around for a sixth season in Ames. 

Should the Footbal Scoop report turn out to be true, that would mean that Rhoads now has three open spots on his coaching staff to fill (offensive coordinator/quarterback’s, running backs and tight ends). 

Chris Williams

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
