One would think if nothing changes from an offensive perspective, that we would see a few of our skill guys exit through the portal. If we lose recruits as well, it may force a change.
No reason to think we're in for a whole lot of ugly at this point, but better beware:
His stock has been high for years. I could see him leaving though if Brian stays realizing it’s a sinking ship.
What makes you think that ? There are always a few quys who leave , but I don't anticipate very many would take that route. We should have a strong team next year.
Yup. These next 4-5 months are gonna determine whether Kirk rides into the sunset or gets exiled and leaves the cupboard bare and we're back to 1998-99 again.
I see no evidence that Parker could leave. He's been with KF here from the first year and at this point him suddenly leaving at 60 years old after 25 years here just seems highly unlikely.
Monkey, don't be on a downer. Iowa's recruiting classes have improved for like three or four years in a row. Now keeping them healthy and on the field has been a challenge.
And we're stuck with crazy old grandpa for the next 7 years.
and what happened in 2015?
That's how his name is pronounced with the emphasis on the RAG. Not sure what your question is. Did they say he should have been targeted more?
I don't necessarily think that, which is why I posted the question. Honestly, would you want to stick/come here with this offense the way it has been and continues to be? If you were in the position Johnson, Brecht, etc. are in where 3 catches and 50 yards is considered a good day, and you see what Charlie Jones did, would you consider leaving? I understand wanting to be close to home for family to see you, loyalty (which is almost nonexistent anymore), etc. but I'm genuinely curious what others think.
I'll bet you as many beers as you want there will be no repeat of 2015 ever again under Kirk's leadership.
Problem is that none of that will happen. KF will make some small changes and we will watch BF calling plays for yet another year of disaster.
Risk adverse, antiquated, stubborn, are a few of the words that might become obsolete to describe Ferentz in the next few months. If he doesn't wake up fast and realize that he needs to make big changes immediately, the veneer is going to pull away. We will then see that he doesn't have the necessary skills to be a successful HC at Iowa. The one word to describe that is incompetent. That's bad enough. It could get worse. If he doesn't know when to have class and when to exit but continues to harm Iowa football, there's a term for than too. It's called hold hostage. We, the fans, the media, everyone, need to call it exactly what it is if comes to that and stop with the polite terms.
Why would Lachey transfer? He's in line to be the #1 target next year. TEs get more balls than WRs at Iowa.
As frustrating as he can be to us lots of times, Iowa hasn't been getting steam rolled by others for quite a while. Could that change soon? Of course, especially if conservative Kirk is steadfast that his antiquated offensive style will continue to be the best route to take. Change needs to be put big-time into place right away this winter to stay ahead.
I didn't think our QB play could get any worse. Then Padilla entered the game.When he had time he couldn't find anyone and when he threw it was usually to the other team.
