Football staff probably told him to quit airing dirty laundry on social media, it happens all the time. Or they told him to take it down until an official announcement is made.
Personally i don't think it's a big deal that he took them down.

His plan was to work in the NFL long enough to become vested in their Pension Plan and I believe he has done that.
I think that Wimberly still has a redshirt year left, in which case he would be way more likely to be willing to sit out a year.
I'm kind of surprised that people are questioning that he left on his own. For one thing we know his brother has the Utah State job, it has been speculated for a while that is where he is going, and in my mind it is a loss because although we can now hire John Gruden to replace him Wells is a top recruiter.
We already have a topnotch experienced OC from a major power conference on staff that put up nearly top 10 offensive snaps in Todd Sturdy. CPr grabbed him at the last minute after Leach was hired.
My guess is he came in with the promise of the OC gig but it was too late in the process to make the official switch. Knowing absolutely NOTHING, I predict Mess picks up a few position groups and we see Sturdy elevated to OC in the coming weeks. I hope.
Are you predicting Sturdy takes QB's then? Mess as QB coach surprised me way more than him taking over as OC simply because he has no previous experience coaching QB's from what I've seen.
Not sure about all the speculation, but, i can tell you that i did see someone is out there i would love to have on our staff. Rumors are floating in the Rag that Erik Campbell fro EIU is no longer on staff...
Not sure if you know him or not, but, he is a very good WR coach who has also coached the TE at iowa...furthermore, he is a great recruiter and currently has two prized recruits possibly re-opening their recruitment with his release. He developed McNutt and DJK (in football at least). If Wells is gone, this would be a great get for our staff.

.....very interesting. Looking at the coach's bio's, one thing that jumps out at me about Mess is that he has never coached at a D1 level prior to ISU. May be a good position coach, but not an OC at this level (yet). But Sturdy has that experience (not a lot, but some) at this level. If he was going to promote from within, I would agree, he would be the guy. Very interesting, SponkaneCY......
