I'll give it a listen but I take JJ stuff with a grain of salt because he's a company guy.

Yeah never been a big fan of his, he could take off the knee pads once in awhile....

I like Jeremy but at times he's a bit of a company line type of guy. He makes me optimistic though.

OK, I listened. I'll mostly agree with JJ here. I got a lot of the same vibes from what I've seen today on the message boards. Not really responsible for the Iowa State stuff, lots of experience and strong ties to the midwest.

Not sure about where he's going to recruit though.

He works for NDSU...what else would you expect then to applaud the new hire. I would be like Tyler Roehl coming out against it. Time will tell. People were concerned about Vigen and Polacek when they took the job. All they did was win a shit ton of games and national championships.

I was really hoping Tyler got a look at for the OC.

There was a lot of excitment for Polasek when he was hired as OC. I do think there's been a lot of overreaction to him. Messingham seems like a good replacement.

Needs more experience. He is still a young coach. I hope he is at NDSU for a long time.

Here's the skinny...

The year before last, the bobcats had a very potent offense run by Tim Cramsey (left for Nevada and now SHSUs new OC). They put up video game numbers with points and yards and were among the tops of all FCS. Enter new staff and new OC Messingham.

The offense was night and day difference. Became a slower tempo, control the clock, runs first type of O. The cats had a former four star quarterback transferred in from a junior college. He struggled mightily. With that, the offense struggle mightily as well and fans became very restless. Many in Bozeman pinned it on Messingham and wanted him gone. They switched over to a true freshman quarterback who is more of a running back and ran it a ton. That kid was often the fastest kid on the field. Their passing game basically became nonexistent and they just let that kid fly. Their game planning seemed better towards the end of the season but the jury is still out I would say on this OC

I'd be willing to bet that their OL sucked.
