😆 ready to bury this and have high hopes for next season but good lord..
KF, "It's complicated."
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
I like how he slipped in "the last 25 years"
If it’s so complicated that it can’t be figured out over 3 seasons, it should be destroyed and rebuilt
"If it worked in 2002, why doesn't it work in 2024?"

Lol, our HC is clueless.

My Ferentz Fatigue is at an all time high. So sick of his arrogance disguised as stupidity.
Weak scheduling with 8 home games work sort of
Until face teams with a pulse
97-0

Yeah, it was pretty obvious it didn’t work today, or any other game where the other team had a pulse. Get an o-line and a qb and it wouldn’t be as complicated. He knows what he needs but refuses to get it.
Hes not wrong.
Trying to score when you can't run the ball, pass the ball or block is pretty damn complicated.

Sheesh we know what it takes too Kirk. Score some f*cking points.
TN defensive backs knew exactly what routes the receivers were running and covered them like a surgeon's glove.
To Ferentz I would say: its not complicated for your opponents if you insist on running the same plays out of the same lame playbook week after week every year.

Weird that virtually every other power 5 program can un-complicate things, but Kirk can’t.
What makes it complicated is he doesn't have any talent on offense, especially the line.
And when he does have offensive talent he puts it on defense.
If you want it to be less complicated you put your best playmaker on the offensive side and give him the ball on every play.

0 points against a d back field that was was gutted shouldn't be complicated. if it is you need a new plan.
I guess he thought he would win 13-10 game against a "run n shoot" SEC team that averaged 31 points a game.

We had dynamic playmakers and a dominate OL in 2002, Kirk! Sometimes you have to change your offense to fit your personnel....or keep up with the times!
It's not that complicated Kirk. Hire some competent offensive staff, give them the latitude to make the necessary changes, and you'll probably score some points. No more nepotism. No more good ol boys. Just hire a competent staff to go with your stellar defense and you're off to the races.
His rambling was no sort of admission that it’s a broken system and went on about past successes that haven’t been achieved in some time. He won’t change a damn thing this off season.
As a boss... If it's too complicated for you.... You hire someone to figure it out and you worry about big picture stuff.
Seems to work well for him on the defensive side, which he is hands off.

I'm hopeful the new OC makes a difference, laughable today, I know, but if it's Chryst it's possible. Cade has to be healthy too but that seems unlikely. And what we have coming back there's a lot to build on. Need OL help in portal.

Are we sure he didn’t say “constipated”?
That’s a total contradiction. If you know what it takes and what is required, then it’s not complicated.
A live look at all the fans who spent the vacation time, money, and energy into going to that 'game' today, after hearing quotes like that from ol' Kirk:
The announcers were basically shitting on Iowa the entire game for not even attempting to go at their depleted secondary. They were nice about it, but you could tell they thought Iowa was completely stupid in their approach.
the games he played against non dog shit B1G West teams should have given him a a fuc$king hint on what needs to be done.
I watch a lot of college football. Many other teams don’t make it seem that complicated. Clueless. Not complicated.
This is what I think of when I hear Brian and Kirk talk about the offensive side of the ball:
Our entire scheme is a joke and it’s going to get worse.
And to build off of this, here is most of us as the D keeps us in the game...This is what I think of when I hear Brian and Kirk talk about the offensive side of the ball:
I think KF needs to recheck his definition of "complementary" in a dictionary.
An offense that does nothing and gifts the opposition points is the exact opposite of "complementary".

getting blanked in a bowl game where the other team basically checked out should be an embarrassment.
Basically, what he’s saying is that he knows something has to change, but he doesn’t like change and change takes you out of your comfort zone and is hard.
I bet he still runs meetings the same way he did 25 years ago. I bet he still has many routines that have never changed.
The thought of evolving the offense is frightening to him. But just look at Saban, he didn’t always run this offense that we ‘re watching today, he went out of his comfort zone. And change takes time.

my thoughts as well...
Oh they added the usual BS about the elite D which helps ease the pain of this untalented weak scheduling garbage fraud
I think you meant to say 'back-up' defensive backs...
(I thought I would spare you the ol' FIFY post)It might seem complicated to him because there isn't much talent on the offensive side of the ball.
Iowa doesn't have a single player that could play for any of the CFP teams.
Not one.
