What ever happened to predictability?

Who is responsible for these calls? The casual Iowa fan can call our plays with alarming accuracy, so imagine what teams do with a week to scout us. Probably play golf 5-6 days of that week, since they know we aren't going to change anything and will dedicate 50%+ of our plays to running into their stacked line.
If we had an O coordinator with an ounce of imagination, we would be a: fun to watch and b: in the top 20 because of our D. Instead we will slug it out with other mediocre teams for a trip to some obscure bowl game in mid-December.

One third of Iowa pass plays should be off playaction. Thry treat it like it's a rare trick play.
I wonder if BFs playbook particularly on pass plays is incomplete/small. Perhaps we saw all the plays unveiled in Ames. So shortening the game is now part of the offensive strategy to make up for it. A lot of those run calls had to be made knowing that they would amount to nothing yardwise.
Offensive football passed Kirk by when bag phones were popular. The guy has the worst combination of personality traits: arrogant, stubborn, and delusional. If he were at other schools that had expectations for someone making as much as he does, I suspect he would hire someone to truly innovate. Instead he hires 'yes' men who accept they are OC in title only and run what he wants.
There seems to be nothing new or innovative under BF. Fact is this is Kirk's offense. Plain, simple, and prided on execution and fundamentals. There has been no updating this offense since day one. Everyone thought things may change with the different O-Coordinators, guess not.
