AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads has added Tommy Mangino and Brandon Blaney to his staff as assistant coaches. Mangino is the son of former Kansas coach Mark Mangino, who became Iowa State’s offensive coordinator last month. He will coach the wide receivers after spending the 2013 season as a graduate assistant at Arkansas.

Blaney, who will coach the offensive line, has been on the Jacksonville Jaguars staff the last three years, most recently as defensive assistant coach. Rhoads also announced that Mark Mangino will coach the tight ends along with running the offense and Todd Sturdy will move from wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach.
