Brian to Fresno State

He was made Run GAme Coord/sort of Co-offensive coord in 2014 or 2015 and the run game was better under him.

2021-23 was an OLINE problem all around and that was on Brian and Kirk both
He went from 49th to 67th in his run game/oc stint, then failed upwards somehow and the offensive regression continued.
 
3 worst o=lines in the Ferentz years….4 years of then worse QBing personnel in GT he’d Ferentz era….IC, methinks you are nutz! Hardly a wealth of O-talent during his tenure.
He had so much offensive talent, and was so bad.
 
yep Petras was a full on All-American candidate, wasn't he? And what about those wide receivers and offensive line that couldn't block my dead grandmother? Outstanding talent.
Hmmm….. so that was Phil Parker’s fault? Or was it the responsibility of some person put in charge of coordinating an offense? And what was that persons name? His initials are Brian Ferentz…..

Four 3years, Petras never showed me anything but raw coincidence. He was not remotely a B10 caliber QB…..the Iowa coaching staff missed the boat badly on him.
That said, he played behind on of the poorest runs of Iowa O-lines since the FXL years of the 1970’s. If a Petra’s pass completion was an accidental affair, so was a well clocked offensive play.

‘That said, he played behind on of the poorest runs of Iowa O-lines since the FXL years of the 1970’s. If a Petra’s pass completion was an accidental affair, so was a well clocked offensive play.’

And this falls under which coaches jurisdiction? Again, his initials are Brian Ferentz.

Do you know what Petras did do? Answered questions every week and didn’t go with ‘it’s tough to run the ball with the schemes we run’ took the heat, faced the music while Brian was very rarely available to the media and the media had to tread lightly so as not to limit their access to Fort Kinnick.

You and I never must have watched the same UIowa QB name Petrous. Absolutely the most skilled challenged QB IOwa had to to that time under Kirk…..
I care about his game performance and it was not good.

I agree wholeheartedly. People are like, “our oline sucked.” Well what father and son combo are supposedly o line experts at Iowa? 🤔
If you know the line sucks, then you get guys in the portal, juco, cut guys and bring in new talent. That is completely on the head coach and offensive coordinator. And our tight end, running back, and even wide receivers talent with Brian was undeniable. Only Brian Ferentz could keep an All American like Charlie Jones and make him a fourth or fifth receiver.🤷‍♂️

I didn’t defend Petras other than he stood there and answered the questions without throwing BF under the bus. The quoted post was from someone else post.
Bad format on my part

I have never seen a quarterback look more deer in the headlights in person than Spencer against Ohio State in 2022 in Columbus. I remember thinking that he couldn’t make a worse throw than that the rest of the season several times, and he kept proving me wrong.
 
I always want to root for a guy who is the son of a legend trying to make it.

But his vibe, hair gel, what he might if done in the doyle racist situation, performance as OC, and his snap over Tates head vs Iowa State in 2005, makes it impossible.

Brian had Hawkeye blood in his veins, so I hope he does well. I'm sure he was disappointed how his tenure at Iowa went but he loved being a Hawkeye. Let's at least give him credit for that!

LOFL, are you serious? The little bitch wouldn’t wear the team logo after he was told his contract would not be renewed. Beth should have sent him packing instead of letting him sulk on the sidelines and continue to be a distraction. He’s a fvcking shit bag.
