What changes need to be made?

My post was not serious.

Understandably, most on this site don't have a sense of humor when it comes to running QBs.

Klein is gone. Just took a new job.

You don't think Dunne will be the starter the next two years?

It has nothing to do with what *I* think ....

It has everything to do with who is making the decisions about what offense to run. It was pretty stunning what happened with UNI's offense when Dunne came in this season, IMO.

How you seen Farley pick a QB the last 7 years?

This is the concern.

Thanks! Thought FBI was going to call looking for my source. Hope to believe we are all in this together with the Panthers! Can't wait until next fall! Going to be a fun one. Really think Farley is going to bring in some really good offensive coaches!!

I hope so too. But what I really hope is that he listens to them and trusts them to run the offense. Looking forward to what Dunne and company can bring this season.

I heard that there is this guy named Joe Davis that had a pretty prolific offense. Maybe we could bring him in to change things around.

Mike Furrey is still out there as a head coach at a smaller division school. Maybe there would be interest in becoming an OC at a FCS school/his alma mater?

Any other names that we would think about hiring for this position, I would guess we would need to hire the offensive coordinator before any other position coach that we have open.

Re: What changes need to be made?

Jay Johnson is the most logical guy I can think of. He's 3 hours up the road and currently unemployed and runs a pretty non-descript offense that pretty much any talent can fit into.

Even if he's just a one year guy, there wouldn't have to be any radical change to accommodate him that would set us back if he decided to leave.

And a logical HC replacement if Farley doesn't get his S straight.

Any official sources on Klein leaving? Can't find any discussion of it on the KState message boards as well. Surprised the people in the know over there haven't leaked it out.

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

What about Courtney Messingham? His leaving Iowa St wasn't pretty, but he may have the knowledge and hindsight experience. Or another ex ISU coach, Mark Mangino? Just kidding with that one.

Okay, now this is funny. In retrospect, most Iowa State fans will admit that Tom Herman was actually pretty good as OC (and that the real problems were elsewhere). However, I don't think you will find many Iowa State fans who think highly anymore of either Messingham or Mangino.

Now, Tom Manning is another story. I was talking to him just last night. That guy is sharp and has had nothing but success in building solid, fundamental offenses wherever he has been. Last year, he pulled together a decent offensive line from the scraps of a group that had started one Big 12 game combined and was horrible for the UNI game. This year, he recruited two grad transfers who have started at Michigan and USC! He recruits incredibly well, but also coaches very well, particularly on the line. If UNI fans aren't jealous of Tom Manning, they aren't paying attention.

Re: What changes need to be made?

I believe we will see some new hires announced in the next week or 2. Have heard from a reliable source that a handful of assistant coaches are currently going through the final stages before being hired, background checks, etc.
