Lets get the bad out of the way: were the second most popular team in Iowa, despite being the largest university, and being the university who's mission is most aligned with what drives our state

Is that 5 star culture behavior?

"What's special about this CycloneFB team ..." How about nothing? Like, not a fucking thing is special about a P5 team sitting at 6-4 with a loss to Ohio on the books. I cannot imagine being a fa

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.

A 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.

They beat one team with a winning record. Whoopty do

 

 

this is why the big 12 shouldnt be considered as good as the other 3 conferences. Playing shit teams and being undefeated doesnt mean much with the exodus of the leagues two best teams

What’s the difference between the Big 12 and the ACC?  The only reason you view Miami as a more legitimate 6-0 is because they used to won some natties 20+ years ago.  Us and BYU both have better wins than them.

I view Miami as a more legitimate 4-2.

I don't think the ACC is any better. B12 seems a little deeper/wider but the best team from each conference will likely be of similar quality.

SP+ and FPI both like the ACC better so far at the top.

I think we’d be dogs to both Clemson and Miami, but it wouldn’t be by much and neither one has really proven the difference.

Probably right. SP+ has you even with SMU (and Louisville), 4 points behind Clemson and 8 behind Miami. 

But I don't think there's any way Miami would get a TD against you at a neutral site. I actually think Clemson would lay the most points against you.

B12 is a much better football conference than the ACC. 

Based on what?

The Big 12 is just a slightly better version of the American.

of the current big 12 members, their last national championship was over 30 years ago. And only 2 national championships in the past what? 125 years?

AP Poll - TCU 1938, BYU 1984, CU 1990

You have some that the school claims that aren't really legit titles: TCU 1935, Okie Lite 1945, UCF 2017

Then some unclaimed ones.

Miami, FSU, Clemson have 11 AP titles combined since 1980. Pitt 1976. Syracuse 1959. Ga Tech coaches poll 1990 (split w CU).

And a ton of random claimed/unclaimed stuff.

Not that any of that is relevant to how good teams are this season 😂

Of course shit that happened 50 years ago is relevant to modern analysis!  This is college football!  Results don’t make a shit.  How prestigious is your past?  That’s the important stuff.

I don't know how things are going to look in a decade with realignment and NIL, but this has been an incredibly enjoyable season, even without Texas' success. 

The fact that ISU, Indiana, Army/Navy, Boise are all in the hunt for a playoff game is awesome. Watching OU collapse is great. Seeing Vandy knock out Bama, fantastic. Ohio state losing another big game, predictable but highly entertaining.

Honestly, I hope some of these power 2 conference teams keep taking losses for maximum playoff chaos.
