When has KF ever said the names of coaches he's missed on in public?
while I generally agree with this...the landscape is completely different in 2023. Realignment and money...
I’d be shocked if he did. I doubt Iowa/KF would ever announce anything like that publicly. Almost nobody would.
If Iowa ever gets this and Phil can keep the defense where it is at Iowa will win a national championship.
Hmmmm..... Might want to ask OSU if having a very good offense and elite defense ensures a National Championship. It's only the price of admission. It gives you a chance to compete with elite teams who also have that. That's what Iowa, with a bad offense paired with their elite defense, can't do today.
They are only paying their OC a million right now. Freeman is only making 3 million, so it isn't inconcievable
Good point, but I don’t think KF is the one mentioning stuff in public. But, as someone else said, he doesn’t care to appease fans, so if my statement were to be true it would be the athletic departments way of saying “hey, we tried…” but overall I still think it’s KFs decision, and if it is I find it hard to believe he has contacted anyone yet, so this Ludwig and Grubb talk is very out of character for him…
It's funny to know there is an athletic department that is dumber than nebraska.
I mean that program could be making 100 million in annual tv revenue by joining the BIG, but instead chose to make 60-70million by staying independent. It makes total sense.
I wonder how common it is for OC contracts to carry buyouts and how much Ludwig's moving around a lot factored into it.
It's only "just Iowa" because the people doing the hiring act like it's "just Iowa".
Next year is a 12 team playoff, and I don't think making the CFP is a 30 million dollar bump in revenue.
They'll have the money
Yep - Deacon slinging the ball all around the field is exactly what this team needed! What does anyone think the record would be if Iowa played a wide open style after CM went down?
or maybe an actual QB coach, with a legit scheme that isn't an antique would change things. Bring in a WR coach that is worth a damn. If you can't see the Iowa TE room is insane, the WR core has a ton of potential, I'm not sure what to tell ya.
You failed to address anything I said. Nobody can say what would have happended with a healthy Cade at QB this year. But of course, get wild and crazy with a back up QB with the next two top offensive options also down. In case you didn't understand this - it's not a video game being played.
Absolutely nobody is saying that. Deacon should not have been the next man in. That's problem number 1. He's actually still kind of slinging it, 28 times the other day and only completing 10. We need so many things on offense I don't know where to begin. This next hire is incredibly huge. Another year of being a bottom 5 offense. We then complain about guys like Vines when he doesn't catch ball or doesn't develop. There's a reason they are coming to Iowa to play wide receiver. We were lucky to get Brown. It's taken 10 games for some reason to really get acclimated but he's it. He's the only legitimate wide receiver we have. If we get another guy that's going to be Kirk's yes man it's not going to work.
Absolutely no one is advocating for Deacon to be chucking the ball around the field in the current offense, however, what you don't understand about a spread offense is that it is based around high percentage short throws. Anyone stating that Iowa won because of the offense they ran is a special kind.
Yeah you keep believing coaches speak.....
Whoever the OC is at Iowa has the best shot at becoming the next HC at Iowa. Our last two HCs covered 44 years so far. Is his best shot at a major HC staying where he is? He is also from this state. Maybe he loves the state as much as many of us do.
