Bruce in portal..
- Thread starter BigOHawk
- Start date
a jet sweep with the TE, guaranteed 2 yard gain...just what every offense is looking for.
Johnson was not on the field this year, any loss at the WR position right now is a huge loss. There are no guarantees to anything coming in, and depending on walk-ons and true freshman is not a good situation.
To quote Christopher Walken in Click "it's just cornflakes."
If they don't clean house on the offensive coaches, an influx of NFL players isn't going to improve the offense. It would be crap with or without Bruce and he looked like crap this season.
I'm starting to wonder if Copeland is leaving.
This is an absolute disgrace and kf should be embarrassed as hell
You guys act like coaches can just magically “develop” players into superior athletes. Recruiting is an inexact science. There will be misses. Development is an inexact science. Some guys won’t develop as coaches hoped. A lot of these things converged this year. The portal is helping make fixes. Things are looking up.
Fingers crossed, and he takes Barnett/Brian with him.
The jet sweep was assisted suicide this year with our tackles.
Or just borrow the superfluous one from that "Cade McNamara enter's transfer portal" thread.
Career long reception of 28 yards. I understand we need all the receivers we can get, but not irreplaceable.
Aside: as a Christian I always cringe when I see 'God's Plan' references. Always possible a revelation was bestowed on Arland, but usually a self-fulfilling statement.
I don't want Lachey to leave. He should have been catching passes alongside LaPorta all year just like Hockensen and Fant. They need to utilize the weapons they actually have.
This last year was maybe the worst offense I have every seen at a D1 level. Its not like it was Brians first year.
Any other program and Brian would have been fired already.
Good. Maybe now they'll go to 3 tackles and 3 tight ends and get back to being at all concerned with running the damn ball
The sky isn’t completely falling. We have a proven QB with two years remaining and a wide open path to playing time. Cade has already been pitching a couple of talented wideouts to join him. A number of people who will enter the portal haven’t yet announced, and while you never like to see kids leave it’s not like we’re losing irreplaceable production.
If Cooper, Campbell, Johnson etc. had eligibility and were choosing to leave then we’d have major concerns. We’re losing potential not production. If we get Proctor and some other linemen get healthy the offense has the potential to be much better next year when all is said and done .

They won't be depending on walk-ons and true freshman unless they strikeout in the portal.
Your freakout seems premature.
Isn’t it crazy some posters are still sticking up for BF after his performance as OC the past 6 years? He has literally made this offense worse each year to where we can’t get any worse because we are the worst lol.
On top of that he became the QB coach and made our QBs the worst. Spencer was horrible, Padilla just as bad, and now they don’t even trust Labas.

No, a revelation was not bestowed on Arland by some sky wizard.
These guys just think it’s the cool thing to say.
FWIW, there are no rushing stats for ANY Iowa TE, so the TE sweep must be a figment of your imagination. Perhaps you are thinking about a screen pass?
I wouldn't say fall guy.
I think he's frustrated. Someone else said the staff didn't appreciate his comments on WR recruiting. I feel tension there.
If Brian remains lone OC, I think Copeland is gone, perhaps mutually.
McNamara would not be coming if changes are not being made. They go hand in hand.
It looked like both our QBs actually got worse after an offseason with Brian. Incredible.
Just trying to understand the mindset of someone who refuses to see the obvious.
I am not disagreeing with you, but the colleges want the transfer period before national signing day. I have a feeling there will be some high school players having their offers pulled after next week. Probably not for Iowa, but for those teams that bring in 15-20 transfers. There is still a limit to the number of new players you can bring on in one year.
Well the WRs have not been good under his coaching. But I guess most will just keep blaming Brian for everything.
It’s great we got Cade. It would be cool if we picked up other players too. But it will be for naught if Brian returns. He is so incredibly bad at his job.
Not easy to have a lot of WR targets when the team has so few sustained drives.
Because they need to find a new home before the next semester starts. These guys have nothing to gain in the bowl game except to get hurt. If they're planning to leave we want them to leave now so we can play the guys who will be here next year. If we were playing for a NC then it would be different.
How is it Iowa's Falt? Cade left Michigan for Iowa. I'm sure players left Ohio St also. The portal gives players options they never had before. Creates no loyalty to a team anymore.
I don't like it along with many others here but it's here to stay along with NIL.
We as fans can only wait to see what happens.
Like it was last year with Alex Wick starting? Once again, the statement made was that this is a nothing burger, and with Iowa's current depth they will need to make something happen.
