Watching this Super Bowl, do you guys understand that now?
Dynamics change when it becomes more than a 2 score game.
Philly 1-0
KC 0-1

Dude, with respect…stfu and quit doubling down on polishing BFs knob.
Never have.
Didn't care for him as a play-caller. Probably shouldn't have been QB coach. And although he was qualified for the OC position, I never thought it was a good idea.
But what fans turned it into was beyond ridiculous and embarrassing
With all due respect, what in the absolute fook does Philly’s D-Line completely obliterating KC’s offense tonight have to do with the Iowa fan base’s treatment of BF? That’s the purpose of this thread, to exact some kind of exoneration?!
Derp. Like times a million.
It's official, this dude is a masochist. He gets off on getting destroyed on this board.
He just thinks he's smarter than everyone on this board. Probably not on here as well. Its actually starting to get pretty old.
Uhhhm…Brian Ferentz became a national punchline on his own. The Iowa offense was so historically bad and laughably woeful that the fans didn’t have to do shit.
You have lost your mind lately. Maybe talk to a professional?
You just described 90% of the guys on the OT forum
Yea. Ridiculous that fans want their team to win games instead of furthering the ambitions of a family.
Completely mischaracterized and compounded by an oversensitivity to "nepotism", that really didn't even become a big deal to people until the offense started struggling.
People want to judge BF by his worst two seasons. And the biggest contributing factors to the offensive struggles in those seasons had very little to do with BF. It's been explained on this board MANY times

Nowhere can anyone prove that family ambitions were ever put ahead of winning. Completely unfair leap to assume that. And part of the ridiculousness I was talking about.
And 18-23 was KF's winningest six year period (based on winning percentage of each season) at Iowa.
Try again

How do you mischaracterize one) statistically the most atrocious offense in the country for P5 and two) an offensive scheme that rivaled that of middle schools’? You might count on one hand the number of passes completed 20+ yards down the field let alone even attempted. Anyone smart enough to pour piss out of a boot could tell you Brian Ferentz’s offenses were a special kind of awful.
Seriously. It was an absolute joke. And after KOK left, it was clear Brian didn’t have the first clue what he was doing, as 2021 was garbage followed by the absolute train wrecks of 2022 and 2023. “Nepotism,” as you want to characterize it by putting it in quotes, became a thing when Daddy stubbornly and incessantly gaslighted Iowa fans and everyone in the media that Brian was not only competent but a good OC. Uhhmm…on what planet outside of Planet Ferentz?
The nepotism was not even debatable. Three seasons in a row of an absolute shit show inside of a dumpster fire with no real trajectory for improvement compounded by Kirk continuing to feed the outside world with lies and bullshit about Tommy Boy being great IS THE VERY ****ING DEFINITION OF NEPOTISM, Mary. Lol.
Three seasons, Mary. Three. 2021 was the beginning of the world-renowned shit shows that continued to get progressively worse. I don’t know what you think has “been explained on this board MANY times,” but I can promise you whatever those explanations were, most of which were authored by you, all of them were as deluded as they were abjectly stupid. In the end, the Ferentzes recruited the players, “developed” the players, “coached” the players, and chose which players would see the field and which ones transferred to places like Purdue.
Brian’s offense. Brian’s quarterbacks. Brian’s wide receivers. Brian’s offensive line.
Period.
Again, you suck at this, Mary.
It was mischaracterized just as I outlined above, just as you are doing now, and detailed MANY times on this board.
If you don't get it by now.....as a matter of fact it was obvious at the time what was happening, to anyone knows football and actually watches the games....not going to waste the time with you again.
You would do us all a favor to disassociate yourself with Hawkeye athletics
Who recruits? Is two injuries enough to ruin an OLine…for three years?
excused by you..many times... Davidkov and Britt, should have been recruited over after it was apparent they were hurt. Weak recruiting had as much if not more to do with the Oline than those two guys getting hurt.
Lol. You’re something else.
There is definitely a common denominator here in the way of “don’t get it by now.”
Yeah, I agree. Spare us both.
Line play
I could probably list about 100 different things this offense did the last handful of years to set the OL up for failure. OL obviously needs to play better but what Iowa has expected them to do with how they go about things especially under Brian Ferentz was ridiculous. High School teams in the...

Line play
No, and this is well stated from inside of the program, Reese Morgan was the key to the line play. Doesn't have a thing to do with what I stated in the post you responded to

AGAIN, refer to the above links to have your recruiting narrative dispelled.
You grossly understate what happened by diminishing it to two injuries. The attrition to the O-line was significant enough to have left Iowa with zero lineman that were close to ready to play.
Recruited over? KF isn't a psychic. And even if he were a doctor, many players have come back from injuries. Was he to have just given up on Britt and Davidkov?
Recruiting over was never really KF's style and I think he gotten plenty of mileage out of being loyal to his players. The current portal dynamic didn't exist back then. Who was he supposed to have recruited over with? High school players that probably would have also needed some time to develop?
And the decision to have recruited over players certainly would have been KF's rather than BF's
They recruit lineman every year…hit on 2-3 a year and it’s not a problem dealing with injuries
It may not be wise to wade in here, but I'll give it a shot.
I'll agree somewhat - one blowout loss need not mean anything. Context, however, is key. The Chiefs finished the season 17-3 (playoffs included), not 0-1. Any loss, let alone a blowout, was uncharacteristic for the team. Similarly, consider Ohio State in 2017. They suffered the embarrassing 55-24 beat down in Iowa City. The week before, they beat #2, and then after the loss they went on to win their last five games, three of them coming against teams ranked 12, 4, and 8. The loss in Iowa City was an anomaly.
When a team suffers multiple blowout losses, however, especially when coupled with other performance factors, then they do matter. They highlight problems that the opponents exploited.
It's all been laid out in the above links. Very clear to anyone capable of crawling out of their own ass
Excuses. Lack of quality recruiting was compounded by injury and Brian’s offense, along with his qb coaching inability
