Well I see you guys finally got a bobcat to come to the dome.
Messingham was Iowa State's tight ends coach at Iowa State in 2009.
So.....he was on the field the last time that NDSU lost a game to an FBS school...........2,722 days ago!
Therefore, BMG!
One time I got to ask Messingham about why he called a particular play with particular players on the field in a particular situation. He essentially said that they didn't call plays based on who was on the field. They mostly just rotated players and called plays based on the situation but not the players. I thought that was a horrible answer, particularly because so many situations call for particular players (possession receivers, short yardage runners, etc.). Maybe he was just blowing me off. Or maybe he gave a really bad answer.
It is difficult to know exactly what happened with Iowa State QBs, but it is clear that having a revolving door for OC's didn't help. And it seems that the former head coach liked to meddle with the QBs. I imagine that Messingham might say that he never really got a chance to develop and use a QB at Iowa State like he wanted. He was clearly a fall guy before the head coach got fired himself.
