    How bad will things have to be this year for you to change your mind about Brian?

    The chances of someone performing worse than Brian Ferentz at OC is about the same chance we had of hiring someone worse than Todd Lickliter. BF was incompetent as an OC and so is KF for never acknowledging it and making the change.

    Why is now not the right time to part ways with Fran?

    Because no one else wants a mediocre coach.

    Time to Start Over

    …..and never really get there.

    Barnett will be the next OC.

    I agree the best way for Iowa to be competitive is to have a dominant run-based offense to set up the passing game, but you need to be able to think more dynamically in real time with your play calling in order to have success and not "give-away" your plays due to formation, personnel. etc. BF...

    Do we see anything different on Saturday?

    They would presumably need to audible into that play once they see the defensive alignment, and the only audible I have seen used during the entire KF era is a stretch run play. Let that one "sink-in" awhile.

    Per usual after a bye, at the end of the first quarter we’ll all be asking, “Did they f’n work on anything the past two weeks?!?!?!!”

    My advice to all of us is to start drinking heavily.

    New Iowa OC's

    So was Greg Davis.

    What happens if....

    IF Beth Goetz is as impressive as people seem to imply and not just a fundraising cheerleader who mismanages coaching contracts, then she would clearly conclude that we are the national laughing-stock on the offensive side of the ball for three straight years and not renew BF or allow him to be...

    Deacon Hill’s stats

    Those two QB fumbles with the two rushers running directly towards him in his view confirms he has very low football instincts that he will never overcome even with competent QB coaching, which he clearly doesn't have at his disposal.

    Players are available today. Some tidbits...Drew Stevens hitting 65 yd Field Goals

    Is that BF in the background with the white cane?

    This Has to Be the End of Ferentz

    Coach, After all the debate yesterday I see you are back today on this thread. I figured you would be busy working on Xs and Os for your team rather than on a free message board. Maybe you should enact the social media ban that KF has in place so you don't waste precious prep time. Anyhow...

    This is how predictable Iowa's offense is

    or maybe even a QB coach that wasn't an offensive lineman! KF: Son, I would like you to take on the QB coaching duties. BF: Thanks Dad, can I get a raise with this extra responsibility? KF: Absolutely, I'll send the text to Uncle Gary this instant. BF: Brilliant! KF: Brilliant!

    Would you take Greg Davis back?

    The transition from Greg Davis to Brian Ferentz is eerily similar to Steve Alford to Todd Lickliter. Somehow the UI Athletic Department hired someone worse. Brian Ferentz = Todd Lickliter and somehow the incompetent UI AD has allowed this "experiment gone wrong" to continue to fester.

    Kaleb Johnson Suspicious

    Premature speculation?

    The McCaffrey's really brought it tonight alright!

    I watched Connor tonight in-person and felt he brought nothing to the table. Minimal assists, three turnovers, can't drive to the hoop, bricked shots, arguing with team mates. They isolated him a few times tonight on defense with a much taller player and he was easily scored on. I honestly...

    The McCaffrey's really brought it tonight alright!

    Every time I begrudgingly accept the free company tickets to the Hawkeye game here in Madison, I convince myself "It can't be worse than last time". Wrong. We got ZERO fast break points. When we play a team like Wisconsin (that isn't very good this year) that plays tough defense, there is...

    BF contract amended

    One national guy tweeted that if he doesn't meet the objectives, then his contract will terminate in June 2024. The way I interpreted that is if BF doesn't get to 7 wins AND we don't score more than 25 team points per game, then his contract will be terminated. Meaning if the team doesn't...

    KF calling plays?

    When I was a season ticket holder I would watch KF through field glasses and I can say with near 100% certainty that he has never called offensive plays for Iowa and is basically a cheerleader on game days. As someone eluded, he has never carried a cue card of plays on the sideline. I...

    Us Iowa Fans Should Be MORE Pissed at Kirk and Barta than we are ...

    Some even had suspicions earlier when we hired a washed-up old ineffective OC in 2012 who only had a couple years left on his treads. I still remember GB at the press conference naming BF as our new offensive coordinator. He said something like this: "After a nationwide search, we hired the...
