Tyler Roehl Is Bringing a Physical Offensive Identity to Iowa State | Ep. 60

This week on The Left Hash Call, Iowa State Offensive Coordinator Tyler Roehl joins the show for a deep dive into toughness, offensive identity, and what it takes to build a championship-level football culture.Coach Roehl’s résumé speaks for itself: All-American running back at North Dakota State, seven FCS National Championships as a coach, two national titles as NDSU’s offensive coordinator, a major role in Iowa State’s 2024 run game growth, a year with the Detroit Lions under Dan Campbell, and now the keys to the Cyclones’ offense in Ames.But this conversation goes way beyond the résumé.Coach Roehl talks about why he came back to Iowa State, what he learned inside the Detroit Lions building, how North Dakota State built one of the most dominant dynasties in college football, and why A-Gap Power is not just a scheme — it is a lifestyle. He also shares his upbringing in West Fargo, delivering newspapers through brutal North Dakota winters, choosing coaching over a potential six-figure job, evaluating quarterbacks, and building an offensive identity around physicality, conviction, and connection.This is a football guy’s football guy talking ball, culture, toughness, and the future of Iowa State football.
