Maybe if you build your culture around out-efforting more talented programs, it’s hard to find the effort against the schools with similar or worse talent. Seems like ISU plays shitty against a bad team every year. 

Memphis isn't bad.

WTF does that mean if you can't get it done on the field? The players Memphis has now are better, and Memphis has as many players in the NFL. End of discussion. 

What do you mean? The point was that ISU plays down to teams worse than them every year. ISU was a 9 point favorite, was ranked 23 spots higher in SP+, and had a higher composite recruiting ranking. You stated Memphis had more talent than ISU and the players they have now are better, but all the above disagrees. Teams play up and beat more talented teams all the time.

Matt Campbell sets Iowa State offensive staff, with internal promotion at coordinator

ZACH BARNETT       11 HOURS AGO

Matt Campbell is setting his offensive staff at Iowa State, headlined by by the promotion of assistant head coach and tight ends coach Taylor Mouser to offensive coordinator, according to a report Monday from ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.

Mouser has been a part of Campbell's staff since 2015, dating back to Toledo. He was a GA for the Rockets, then assumed the same role when Campbell took the Iowa State job ahead of the 2016 season. He's steadily climbed the latter over the past nine years -- first to assistant director of scouting, then to a senior quality control for offense, and then to tight ends coach in 2021. He was named assistant head coach ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Mouser steps up to replace Nate Scheelhaase, who took a job on Sean McVay's LA Rams staff earlier this month.

Additionally, Campbell is set to promote wide receivers coach Noah Pauley to pass game coordinator and offensive line coach Ryan Clanton to run game coordinator, while running backs coach Jake Waters will switch to quarterbacks. 

Pauley and Clanton joined the ISU staff in 2023, while Waters has been in Ames since 2021 as a senior quality control coach for offense.

To fill the open spot on the on-field staff, Campbell is set to hire Tennessee State offensive coordinator Tyler Roehl to coach running backs. 

Roehl was the offensive coordinator at North Dakota State through last season, but Eddie George lured him out of Fargo as part of a long recruitment process as detailed by FootballScoop's John Brice last month.

former LSU assistant is reportedly joining Matt Campbell and Iowa State

Steeples also brings NFL experience to the Cyclones, after coaching special teams for the Vikings.

DOUG SAMUELS       JUL 18, 2024

Just a few years ago, Robert Steeples made the rare jump from high school to the NFL after rebuilding his alma mater before joining the LSU staff.

An AFCA 35 Under 35 selection, Steeples coached the corners under Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge last season, but was part of the defensive restructuring Kelly decided to do back in January that overhauled the defensive side of the ball.

Last night, Bruce Feldman shared that Steeples has found a soft landing spot with Matt Campbell at Iowa State.

The report shares that the former 3-year NFL player is expected to join the Cyclones where he will use his defensive acumen to help the Cyclones on the offensive side of the ball as an analyst, the report adds.

Widely regarded as one of the top promising young coaches in college football,  Steeples made the unprecedented jump from coaching high school to the NFL in 2021 after quickly rebuilding his alma mater at De Smet Jesuit HS (Creve Coeur, MO) into a powerhouse in just four seasons. 

He took De Smet from 2-8 in his first season in 2016 to a state championship in 2019.

In his final three seasons at De Smet, Steeples went 29-4, which included an impressive 20-game winning streak and back-to-back appearances in the state title game. In addition to the head coaching duties, Steeples also served as defensive coordinator and his unit allowed just over 9 points per game during his final two seasons with the program.

Spoiler alert: we’re gonna run the ball a bunch and get nowhere. Then we’ll have a flukish turnover that gives Iowa a TD. We’ll start throwing the ball with about 10 minutes left, and it will look closer than it is.

13-10 Hawks. Rinse. Repeat.

One day ISU will fire Matt Campbell, hire a decent coach, and actually beat Iowa at least every other year. 

We used to beat Iowa on the reg and then go 3-6 (at best) in the Big 12.

I can live with losing to them and winning 6+ conference games.  But occasionally winning this game would be cool too.

cyclones winning this Saturday would be a nice upset... the over might be a good bet.

The Hawkeyes are the favorite (-2.5) in an expected close matchup with the Cyclones. The total is set at 35.5 points.
