2022/23 Coaching Staff Changes

Wonder if they mean at a P5 conference. I know several will GA at one and then drop down to FCS or G5 and be a position coach there and then bounce back up.
I was curious and saw that's that Collin Klein did...went from GA at KSU to QB coach at UNI, then to QB coach at KSU (and then to OC).

Everyone does have expectations here they are:

2023:
Offense: New OC, new system (even though the plays are the same), give it three seasons to develop.
O-Line: New offense, new blocking scheme, new SC coach, give it three seasons to develop.
Special Teams: They're fine, that's why there has been no change.

Record: 3-9 or better and patience prevails to next season. 7-6 or better we need to extend that contract!
Have any of you folks paid any attention to how many narrow losses we had? Or, how many starters will be back on offense?

**** 3-9. And 7-6.
 
I honestly don't care what the official titles are I just hope whatever they do next year is different than what they have been doing. If I'm Matt I give some one the ST Coordinator title just to shut people up.
I don't think a PR move fixed the problem. I don't care about Coach/Title approach.

The key is Campbell, Heacock and Scheelhaas instituting a new approach, mindset and urgency to make ISU's ST a solid unit.
 
Maybe because having someone listed as working with special teams is irrelevant, every team obviously a coach or coaches working on special teams, regardless of if they have a "special teams coordinator" or not.

Now maybe we do need new people working on special teams, but it's not like we haven't had coaches running special teams just because nobody is listed as a coordinator.
ST was and has been a train wreck. I don't care if they have a specific coach or spread it around. I just want someone to take it seriously, because special teams are costing wins on a regular basis for ISU, and other teams like Iowa are winning games with special teams.

Yeah, I have to agree. The Clones got blown out in the last game of the year by the team with championship birth. With just a tiny bit better execution from the offense or special teams and this team is bowling this year. Remember when ISU would get blown out in 5 games and somehow squeak out a bowl bid to Memphis?

special teams matters most when your defense is good and offense is bad.

offense is going to translate team to team better than special teams. it's just too "fluky"

plus we need to keep putting offensive players in the NFL.

recruits don't care if our long snapper or journeyman on kick coverage played 4 seasons in the league.

What amount of wins would you say it'd take for you to not be a whiner?
There you are, I was beginning to wonder if you were ok. :)

Three wins (as in the kind where we score more points than the other team whether it’s 1 point or 42 points) would be great for next year.

Curious, have any of ISU's QBs under CMC shown improvement?

Do any look like they are getting quality instruction, and are allowed to audible?

If you don't trust your starting QB to audible, you don't have a P5 caliber QB.
You are f’ing clueless. No one audibles. RPOs and check with me got rid of audibles. You’re a broken record from a decade or more ago.
 
I wonder how ST is divvied up, maybe they already do but assign each ST unit to a specific coach.

FG/ExPt
Punt Coverage
Punt Return
Kickoff

, or just have CMC really own it during positional breakouts.

I really wish we could run some "Beamer Ball" out there, there are hidden points out on those plays. We will always be a program at a slight disadvantage in some areas, it be nice to actually "win in the margins".

Yeah, I loved how Rus was split out, wide open, with nobody anywhere near him at the Goal Line against TTEch. Did our QB quickly call a play and just throw it to him? Nah. He motioned him into the formation and we didn't score. That's the good stuff. Imagine needing to check with the sideline to throw to a wide open receiver. Brilliant.

Didn't they confirm that one of the bright spots in the last couple games, a pass from Becht to Hanika on a go route, was an audible? Yeah, that sucked.

League was way more top heavy then with stacked programs.

People forget CampbellBall means keep it close. Other teams would have scored more if necessary, but they knew we couldn't score, so they played it safe too.

That's the thing about close losses.......they're still losses.

Becht called an audible? Lol

The league was top heavy back then. Big XII South vs North was such a mismatch. But the teams at the top back then were marginally better - if even that - than the teams at the top now. The top two or three teams in the conference are still some of the best in the country every year. The difference is the rest of the league - including Iowa State - has closed the gap.

I think special teams has consisted of “you guys go over there and figure it out on your own.”
