Fire Chris Klieman

[Kid In the Hall]

Damn, those last few posts were very interesting.  Now I'm hoping this happens immediately.  If Wells is our OC next week I hope he coaches the guys for a bowl win. 

While it would be hard to fathom a worse OC than Messingham, Wells wasn't exactly rolling aces during his entire tenure at Utah State:

2012 (as OC at Utah State): 26th in scoring offense
2013 (as head coach at Utah State): 49th in scoring offense
2014 (hc USU): 81st in scoring offense
2015 (hc USU): 64th in scoring offense
2016 (hc USU): 107th in scoring offense
2017 (hc USU): 51st in scoring offense
2018 (hc at USU): 3rd in scoring offense

I wonder who his OC was in '18.

David Yost - formerly of Mizzou (and a bunch of other schools).

Idgaf about record as HC

I care about record as the OC

Yost was the OC at Mizzou under Pinkel their last few years in the Big 12, including the I left my kitchen on fire game. Wells also fired him at tech last year

Not a fan of this Yost guy it's just amazing he ended up with a number 3 offense in '18 and then layed one turd after another.  Hope Wells doesn't turn out to be a bust.  At least Kleiman and Wells should get along and he has a history of OC and HC experience.

[pissclams]

Unprompted his first sentence was "I guess I gotta get involved in the game plan, I don't know what that was." Then he talked about not playing to Will's strengths. Then he talked about how deflating the first drive of the second half was then mentioned the game plan again.

i wonder what ham and potatoes face does all week if he’s not involved with the game planning.  probably just sits around counting all of his money

Be real, how much work did all of you get done this week? Kind of hard to get mad at the coaches for slacking off like the rest of the American population

Oh so you make millions and get to dick around until late December, so why is the eff would you care about working.
M I Right?

Credit where credit is due. I didn't think Kleigoober would have the stones to fire his buddy Mess. However, he did and he might have saved his own career at KSU by doing so.

Here's to hoping he convinces small times Taylor to pony up some extra cash to go get us a legit OC.

Replacing Mess with Polasek is not going to excite the fan base, I hope he doesn’t do that. I think he’s going to though.

If I'm him, I'm going after an A+ recruiter who has minimal to no experience as an OC. I assume we will keep CK. He can fill in the gaps. We aren't going to get some stuff recruiter who is also a great coordinator. Let's roll the dice for once.

I think he's seen how difficult it is recruiting to an average fbs program as opposed to recruiting to the best fcs program. Maybe he'll use that as a focus for the WR/TE coach instead.

Supposedly two other contenders, so there is some hope.

[catastrophe]

I questioned Kleiman’s ability to determine whether to let Mess go. I don’t really doubt his ability to hire a good replacement. Unless it’s another longtime friend with a mediocre resume I will very much be in the cautiously optimistic camp until next fall.

I’m somewhat surprised no FCS coordinators have been mentioned.

Way to go, Chris!!!

Polasek's offense at WYO was total woof this past year, outside of the run game.   Nearly last in D1 in passing. 

As I recall, when he was on staff at Iowa their offense wasn't that great either, but that's always been a knock against KF.

Maybe he's a great recruiter.

The Iowa olines were really good (at least talent wise).  I read some NDSU forums back when we hired Messingham.  A lot of comments praising the new scheme (Mess) over what Polasek was running.

(I do think Wyoming had some pretty significant qb issues).  But 3 pts against New Mexico is pretty cringe worthy.

[Purple Derpathy]

Let's warm up the bandwagon. Another terrible loss and this one is on his inability to find a mediocre QB 4 years into his tenure. 

We are in a very scary situation with AM, Rubes, and Howard.  This season has the potential to go south in a hurry.  The talent outside of AM should assure us 7 wins, but if the D loses motivation knowing our offense is completely one dimensional, we are done.

if it was just that we sucked, maybe we could give him more time.  but now with ku passing us by as well, i don't see how clineman survives.
