Scheelhaase to Rams

[IowaState88]

Seems like this is becoming more and more common - college coaches, making the jump to NFL.

Not saying, this is necessarily about Nate, but I think a lot of college coaches are growing tired of the constant recruiting/NIL battle/recruiting of current players etc. They just wanna coach football.

I find it extremely odd he's not even a coordinator or position coach. That seems just bizarre.

 

[RustShack]

Lots of offensive guys hitting the portal expected?

Probably not in terms of starters at this point. It’s not CMC who left.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

I mean. Clanton has never been a playcaller nor worked or played with any position group other than the offensive line. That's a MUCH bigger risk than Scheelhaase was last year.

 

[CyCrazy]

Damn that sucks.

 

[KnappShack]

It's your time @ChrisMWilliams . Go to CMC and convince him you can run the Mumme/Leach system and get us to the CFP.

Well Hal is still with us.

Is the portal even open? I think the fall one is closed and the spring one doesn't open until mid April. Plenty of time to get an OC in and the guys liking what they hear/see.


Unless I am wrong? I thought they could only leave outside of the specific windows if the head coach left.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

No offense to Clanton but we can do better than a guy who's only experience as an OC is at the FCS level.

And he wasn't the playcaller. He got the co-OC title as a formality to get him more money his last year in Cedar Falls.

I bet it’s a year of the mystery OC like when Manning went to the Colts for a season.

I think it’ll depend on who they can bring in. QB coach is a pretty big vaccany as well, but we do have Waters and Kempt as former QB’s on staff who could get promoted.

Campbell will most likely be calling the plays this season at this point.

Id like to think this ISU OC job, as it looks today, is a desirable job for many.

The chances of an outside guy with Matt are about zero. He trusts no one but his inner circle. Kyles been being groomed for years but this is a huge step.

First, congrats to Nate. Big time promotion and working for one of the best. He'll learn a ton.

Second, a college football coaching crisis is coming. Guys are fleeing to the NFL because if you're coaching guys that are getting paid, you want to do it on a level playing field where there are rules and you don't have to constantly re-recruit your own team.

Isn't that essentially what happened with the BC coach?

Look around, man. These guys are taking title demotions all over the place to get out of the college game. Guys are taking demotions within the college game just so they don't have to be a head coach. I said this like a year ago but the CFB brain drain is going to be a real thing if the rules around the game aren't shored up quickly.

Honestly, it's a really good thing, IMO, that CMC doesn't have much in the way of coordinator background. He just does not strike me as someone who is going to love this recruiting environment and the amount of recruiting you have to do year round to keep your roster in-tact, not to mention that as soon as you find TJ Tampa or Jeremiah Cooper, there are programs offering them money to leave you. Nothing about this sounds fun at all and if they sit back and think about just coaching football, which is what they signed up for when the career path was chosen, it has to be incredibly hard to like where you're at. Chip Kelly had an awakening because his QB coach left and he spent bowl prep coaching QBs and realized that stuff is what he likes and he got to do none of it.

Good sophomore qb. A lot of returners. Gotta agree. But Campbell is a big fan of promoting within

I've been grooming your mom for years.....

 

[PantherCyclone]

What about Lou Ayeni. I wonder if he would come back from the Broncos. We need another rockstar recruiter.

You couldn’t handle her and live to tell about it. RIP child forgetter.
