In yesterday's Des Moines Register, there was a story about a coaching shakeup in the Iowa State University football program. One casualty was quarterback coach Tony Petersen. Petersen was quarterback coach and passing coordinator under Glen Mason. If I remember correctly, he also was co-offensive coordinator with Mitch Browning for a period of time. Petersen was the first of Mason's assistants to land another coaching position, after Mason and his staff were terminated.
Late November and December can be a trying time for assistant coaches and their families, as head coaches are fired or when they make personnel adjustments ("new directions") in their staffs. The old coaching adage seems prophetic: "Coaches are hired to be fired." Uncertainty during the Christmas Season, to be sure.
Go Gophers!!
