Anyone attending games do you see Polasek getting after the O-Line on the sidelines after a series? During the game, what is the O-Line doing while on the sidelines? Is he politely asking them to "execute" better or is he screaming in their faces?
a change that would not bother nor surprise me
- Thread starter nitewing
- Start date
Yep, things I didn't know I learned. Things i already knew, I expanded on and improved those areas around me.
BF and Polasek know football. They have been doing this for some time at a high level, they are no longer "Interns or GAs".
BF use to be heard from nearly 3 sections away cursing at his OL for screwing up, then KF would follow with high 5's.
Tell us all about what you've learned. I'm seriously interested. I also would love to hear about your career and how much you've expanded and improved. It will help me to appreciate your criticism. Getting to know more about some of you might help me understand your perspective more.
not surprised by this response, only you can have time to learn but since Polasek have been coaches they get ZERO time to learn their jobs.
hate to inform you but this is why they have Coaching Seminar for Colleges is to learn how to do a better job.
but hell no according to you they have no right to have a chance to learn how to do their jobs,
even in the Military it takes 12-18 years to get to be where some of those people to where they are and another 7-8 years to reach the highest level,
KF started under Fry then went to the Pro's before he became a HC, it took Phil Parker 15 years under KF to become the DC and he was a DB coach going back to the late 1980's. BF is just getting started,
but with you he is to be perfect in less than a year.
Kilroy you have to understand the staff was putting itself in a horrible position by hiring a family member at this point. There were going to be 2 outcomes. He succeeds(still possible), he fails and takes the whole ship down with him. Dad isn't firing his son and staying at the job. The admin should have safeguarded itself from this ever becoming half an issue. Let's say BF doesn't cut it next year, then what? If "Bob Smith" would have followed GD with the numbers BF has put up this year he would be on a very hot seat in the off season. Brian is at minimum going to get a "gimmie"year ( and that is exactly why this should have never happened)
I love it when people say 'you have to understand', lol. No one 'has' to understand anything. You may 'like' them to understand, but a lot of that has to do with your 'explanation' and the 'facts'. Once again, telling someone you 'have' to understand something is hyperbole.
Maybe Polasek moving on, that would shake things up....he's an OC and a pretty good one, not an O-line coach. Everyone seems concerned about Brian not becoming the next HC, doesn't matter what he does he's in. Think Polasek likes his rep being muddied while KF try's to justify BF becoming the new HC??
"JR Daniels and he is 1st true FR to start on the OL in the last 15 years."

Power 5 schools aren't places where people should go to learn how to coach an OL or be an OC. Do you promote a run game coordinator whose running game finished in the bottom half of his group? Heck had an award winning line and 2 - 1,000 yard rushers and finished in the bottom half, and got promoted. Not sound.
or...and here is a funny thought...maybe move Polasek to RB coach (what he coached at NDSU besides OC) and make Brian the OL coach on top of the OC.
hate [not] this goes on through out P5 AND other schools where coaches change coaching all the time, its called CROSS TRAINING to expand their experience to make them better coaches.
and I can tell BF was failure as the run game coordinator having a pair of RB's do something that HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE in the HISTORY of IOWA FB by having TWO go over 1000 + yards rushing in the same season.
And was so impressive at it that over half of his peers were better at it than he was, give him the 'most athletic at computer camp' award. In most jobs finishing in the bottom half of your peer group doesn't get you a promotion and a raise. Since you seem to have time can you give us a list of P5 OC have that job with no OC or HC experience or came from an offense where their group was in the bottom half of their peer group? Should be a lengthy list.
oh well that still means that there were 3 not 2 FR that started in the last 15 year, but 2 in the last 3 years, strange to have 1 True FR in 12 years then 2 in 3 years, says a lot about the direction this program is headed by letting more true freshmen play or start vs past seasons.
Even true FR Hankins will be making his 1st start making him the 3rd true freshman to start this season.
Hankin was also a North South AA Game member. the 3rd of the 4 AA game members to either start or play this year.
I don't care if you're Urban Meyer or Nick Saban, when you run something as big as a football program, you're only as good as your assistant coaches. If you don't put then in the places where they can best pass their knowledge on to the players to improve the team, you're doing a disservice to the squad. Urban Meyer had co-def coord. and co-off. coord. before Fickel left. When the off. coordinators couldn't get the job done, he got rid of them.
