I thought we'd be having a debate without people trying to be an asshat...That’s why KF is #10 in wins in the last five years and #16 in wins the last ten years despite being in a state of 3 million with no major urban centers, and also at a mid tier program as far as revenue and funding.......
You are clearly an imbecile
Clearly Ferentz has the other phases going great. Offense is terrible and nationally in every preseason show you'll find the hosts discussing how bad that side of the football is. Iowa is a top 15 revenue school, spends at a top 15 level in football, and lies about 4 hours or less from Chicago, St Louis, and Minneapolis, among with Iowa itself producing about 10 recruitable players per year. Don't sit here and call me an imbecile if you don't know the numbers.
I've come to believe that for football reasons, I wouldn't be trying to continue to run the offense as-is, because:
a) football players aren't sticking around at schools anymore - they're transferring or turning pro earlier now, so it doesn't make sense to run a complex offense that takes 1-2 years to learn
b) rules of the game in college make it much easier to run an offense where your linemen get to be upfield every play and don't have to cut-block to create an explosive run
c) treating the offense as sort of a second defense is insanity and will guarantee a recruiting destiny where the top players will treat us as a pariah program on that side of the football.
I'm still a fan and rooting for 12-0, but make no mistake, I have my eyes open and think that there is a better way to run the program on offense. Its no different than having different opinions on policy than some in your political party of choice. Thinking everything is great all the time usually means that you're an idiot or that you're drinking the Kool-aid, and the cure for both is to read more and explore the world, and do both with an open mind. Check yourself.
