    So.. Should Coop have stayed?

    The list of Hawkeyes who should have been taken in the 1st round and slipped to the 2nd round during Coach Ferentz's tenure is reasonably long: Eric Steinbach, Bob Sanders, James Daniels, Josh Jackson, AJ Epenesa, Sam LaPorta. Several of them had remaining eligibility. In my opinion, it is...

    School vouchers scam update

    Two points, and I fully recognize that I am unlikely to change any opinions, but: 1. $1.3 million is 0.67% of the proposed budget for the district. 2. Do we know how much their student population changed as a result of the ESA? Johnson County had 572 approved ESA applications. The Iowa City...

    Deacon Hill in Transfer Portal

    I would like to put out one idea that I do not think was recognized or appreciated by the majority of this board at the time he was hired. Tim Lester is coaching for his future, and he has ambitions that go beyond being the offensive coordinator at Iowa for the rest of his life.

    Petras QB #1 at Utah State?

    I have had a theory for coaching success that I refer to as the John Blake theory. John Blake was the predecessor of Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. The theory is that a coach is most likely to be successful if his predecessor (1) could recruit, but (2) couldn't actually coach. Stoops was almost...

    Players met w/ Media. Iowa Offense will be Version of Kyle Shanahan's Offense w/ Lots of Motion & RPOs. "There's a lot more confusion" for the Defense

    Yes, I do expect improvement because of the scheme. Last year's scheme did not work.

    Whitlock: WNBA will destroy Caitlin

    Some people are great enough to succeed whether other people want them to or not. Clark is that great.

    OK Go Awesome Lawyers

    You can probably find a form of a small estate affidavit online. Fill it out, sign and notarize it. Send the check back to CVS along with the small estate affidavit and a cover letter asking them to reissue the check in the name of the successor identified on the small estate affidavit.

    Sheryl Swoopes

    Is ethnic cleansing racist? If it is, then I think that we have clear evidence throughout history that every race can be racist.

    Can anyone honestly say Kirk is serious about improving the offense?

    If you give Lester the exact same playbook as Brian had, do you think Lester is going to call plays the same way that Brian did? Or do you think that Lester will have a better talent for play-calling? Then, if you give Lester the exact same quarterbacks as Brian had, to you think Lester is...

    How do YOU take Kirk’s comments?

    What do you expect him to say? "My son Brian was terrible, and to dig out of this hole we are fundamentally re-thinking our approach on the offensive side of the ball?"

    KF comments on the new OC

    Lester's teams at Western Michigan took care of the ball. Never more than 13 interceptions in a season. Never more than 10 fumbles.

    Conspiracy theory: only wrong answers

    Lester agreed to come, but only on the condition that changes were made in the offensive coaching staff. Barnett is the new WR coach, Budmayr is the new OL coach.

    Kirk gives Update on Offensive Coordinator Search. Plans to have OC in place 2nd or 3rd wk of January. Leistikow: Chryst has Best Odds at getting Job

    I've always thought that this was at best a lazy, and at worst, an intellectually dishonest take. Anyone who was paying attention could tell that Greg Davis' offense was different than Ken O'Keefe's offense. Brian Ferentz's offense had definite similarities to Ken O'Keefe's offense, but that...

    So what is Lester’s offensive philosophy?

    Lester took over playcalling in 2018 I wasn't sure whether you were saying that Moreland or Lester was the playcaller. The link says that Lester took over the playcalling after Kevin Johns left following the 2017 season.

    Lester had top 40 scoring offense in 5 of 6 seasons at WMU

    I understand the angst, but I wish people would take a fair look at the hire before rushing to judgment. 1. Tim Lester understands how to play QB. He was a 4 year starter at WMU, passing for over 11,000 yards and 87 touchdowns. 2. If you want to judge his head coaching tenure at WMU...

    What if?

    The offense might not be good this year. I think that the OL will be okay. There was nothing about the scheme last season that could punish an opposing defense for stacking the box. So opposing defenses did, and the OL was always losing the numbers game. I think that TE and RB are good for...
