Re: What changes need to be made?

I can't wait to see/hear who it is. I have to believe Farley is/did everything he can to get as high profile guys as possible.

New offensive coordinator is Mike Singletary

Re: What changes need to be made?

I believe it to be true at this point, but this might be the best kept secret in coaching changes in P5 history.

I believe it too. I'm just surprised our people in the know, know about this and are talking about it before any KState people in the know are talking about it, or maybe they don't know.

Looking forward to the new line of coaches and what they can bring to UNI and future success here!

That's why I kept asking about a source. It's not that I didn't think he was right, it was just odd that "my normal sources" hadn't heard anything that early and there was, and still isn't, anyone at K-State even pretending to have sources about it. Football Scoop has nothing about it. No where. As I said, best kept secret in P5 coaching change history.

Did one more twitter search and this just came up within the last hour or two

Overhaul of the coaching staff, Collin Klein is in Manhattan. Expect a news release in the next couple of days.

Still strange there isn't more on it.

Or another ex ISU coach, Mark Mangino? Just kidding with that one.

How about another former Kansas/ISU coach --- Terry Allen!!!

I would like that hire. Wasn't he an early name put out there for consideration as AD? First game he gets to coach against his son!

Did that ever appear anywhere other than here:

I remember it showing up there and then on discussion forums (including here), referencing that story, but no where else at the time.

TA ran one hell of a program at UNI.

I think you may be right. There was a TV report about it, but not much more as I recall. At the time, I was hoping something more might happen.

I like the positive outlook. That might get you banned from the site though.

Gonzo- You're cracking me up these days. I think you are getting more and more cynical in your retirement years.

One day we will have a gamewatch at Okoboji like old times and catch up.

Re: What changes need to be made?

Hearing that some of the O-line players met the new O-line coach this week. Name is Mike Simmonds. When I put his name in google this is what I come back with his name and O-line coach tied to it.

Looks like he was with Eastern Illinois last year and has coached at the FBS level. Also played 4 years in the NFL.

He seems to always be somewhere where the ground game is important. I know EIU ran an EWU style of passing offense with Garapolo was there but they've seemed to be more run/power focused recently. UNT is bad so hard to judge but "his numbers" look good.

He certainly can't do worse than Barkema

Looks like he also potentially has some recruiting ties to Illinois and Florida. Hopefully one or both are true.

Re: What changes need to be made?

Link no longer exists, so it looks like he's not with them anymore. Reading an older link from his coaching days at North Texas, his bio sounds impressive with his offensive lines leading the nation in fewest sacks allowed. Sounds like he builds a strong punishing line, just what we need!!
