Matt Wells

So do we not like him or what?

It's a lazy nepo hire but it's the TE coach so it's not the end of the world.  I predict I'll forget who even coaches the TE's by September.

Could have been worse (Klieman's kid)

Isn't he still playing at KW?

Wrong kid

D. Scott Fritchen: When did you find out you were named K-State offensive coordinator? Where were you and what were you doing at the time?

Matt Wells: I remember exactly where I was. I was in San Clemente at a place there, and Jen and I were out there hanging out for five days. Coach gave us a few days after signing day, which we didn’t sign anybody, and I was in California. Funny, I was in the same place where I was when I received the phone call from Coach about the finality of joining K-State last January.

The thing that pisses me off is that even if Riley had left for Dallas in late December, I think we still would have made this lackluster hire.

Could have been worse part 2: Courtney Messingham is a TE coach by trade...

Ignoring Devin is a defensive coach, would that have been worse though? Devin has been coaching college football and just won a national championship and Luke has spent the last two years working for Cintas. That being said, I don't care, even a little bit, about this hire.

Not far off.  He was on ISU staff with Mess.

I certainly can't speak to his coaching abilities, but, if nothing else, you'd like to think Wells brings something in the recruiting game given his stops around the country (Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, etc.) whereas Klieman 2.0 has only been at NDSU and KSU. Probably also good to say to be able to say to Cure (and Premer) that the new TE coach has coached TEs (and offense) before (even if he sucks at it - no idea).

Are we gonna Dimel this offense to the TEs?  It's a sweet gig for the Well kid.  He gets to inherit one of the top TE rooms and recruits in the country. 

I get to see if I can make every post about him sound like he's a kid who fell down a well.

Luke Wells is definitely not a kid, it's Matt's brother and he's in his mid 40s. I'll be interested to see how much we use the TEs this year considering we just landed the best recruit in school history and we're currently recruiting his comp for the next class.

Ahh, I was thinking it was his son.
