MTC Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I am sure he had a lot to do with the development of Eric Ebron and Mo Ali-Cox. Disappointing to see him go, but probably makes sense career-wise if his end goal is to become a head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR91 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Well we didn't lose Eberflus or Sirinai, but we're losing a lot of assistant coaches which I'm assuming is pretty common. No doubt Frank wants to hire his guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda weird, since he left Iowa State as their OC, to come be the Colts TE coach, and one year later is going back to be ISU's OC again.... not sure the motive, but it's a bit of an unusual career path... why leave to take the TE spot for only 1 year, then go right back to your previous job?

ReMeDy Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yikes, I figured NFL teams would poach us, but not college. Don't let the Canadian football league look at our staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveA1102 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Sounds like it was his decision to go and we tried to convince him to stay based on his good work this year. Sometimes someone wants a new challenge and no point in trying to force him to stay if he doesn't want to. Wish him the best and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Manning is NOT being pushed out the door. He's leaving because he's becoming the OC at Iowa State. It's better for his career. He did a good job for the Colts and he's being rewarded. We found a good staff in early February a year ago. We will find a good man to replace Manning. But let's celebrate his good fortune. This is a good day for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he goes back to where he's known success. Don't think I see a negative here, but I'm open to a different view point if you've got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't. Seems odd to me though. I read somewhere that he was a candidate for our OL coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four2itus Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I would guess the hours worked is less at the College level. Could just be he doesn't want the grind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. Although in college you have to coach and travel the country recruiting, text/call high school kids 24/7, etc. Probably a wash there. Pressure in college, especially at a place like Iowa State, is possibly not as great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
