Still not excited. Hopefully its nothing more than Messingham doing a favor for an old buddy and he's gone by August.
When I student taught with him, the position he was offered at Iowa was a volunteer position. He wasn't able to take that for a number of reasons. I would not be surprised if this is the same situation. Looking at it, it doesnt make sense to bring Womo on as a member of the paid staff. However, it would be an excellent opportunity for someone who would want to get into the college ranks to start as a volunteer and hopefully land somewhere from this experience.
And, hey, if he comes in and shows he can do some things, pay him. I have no problem with that. I just thought, initially, that we could find someone who brought a little more experience to the table.
I heard this morning that Womochil will be coaching tight ends. I would assume that means Luke Wells will be moving back to receivers. Not sure how legit my "sources" are, but that's what I was told. Probably a safer move than giving him the entire defensive backfield, but an interesting hire nonetheless. I believe the last Iowa high school coach to get a D1 job was Reese Morgan, who had just won his 3rd state title. Now Womochil, who was 22-78 at Jefferson. Best of luck to Womo and the Clones
I ran into a few of Jefferson's football players and asked about this situation and they told me that Womochil said he will be back at Jefferson next fall as a football coach but not the head football coach. Who knows what to believe about this hire but it certainly doesn't seem as though Womochil was given a paid position or is being considered as a full-time member of the staff?
Now I have heard that Womochil is not going to be at Iowa State...strange story and probably not very important in regards to Iowa State football. Wonder if he found a position somewhere else? Anyone know this guy?
Do you know if he is in Ames or somewhere else? He is not at Jefferson due to a leave of absence. Wondering if he ended up taking a job somewhere else as per the stories going around that he is not at Iowa State and won't be?
