ISU coach Paul Rhoads’ search for an offensive coordinator did not take long, with Courtney Messingham being named to the position on Wednesday.

Messingham, who will be taking over for Tom Herman as the new signal caller, spent his first two seasons on Rhoads’ staff as a tight ends coach and this past season as the wide receivers coach.

“I am excited about Courtney taking over the reins of the offense,” Rhoads said in a news release. “Courtney has coached at every level of college football and has head coach and coordinator experience. He has earned this opportunity through hard work and positive results as a coach and as a recruiter. We have the right man.”

Messingham will also assume Herman’s role as quarterbacks coach as well.

As for finding a new receivers coach, Rhoads said in the news release that there is a seach underway but that there is no timetable regarding when a hire will be made.
