CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW!!

[TNHAWK79]

Waited nine months for this crap! What a terrible performance. Only at Iowa can you finish bottom five in offense in all of college football and still have a job! Either Brian’s scheme is too difficult to grasp or too stubborn to make QB change. Either way, this level of stupidity is unacceptable. I don’t blame Charlie Jones for leaving. Petra’s has three years in the system and has not taken the step forward that’s needed.
I’ve seen HS football with better a offensive scheme. Only at Iowa do we reward mediocrity. Petra’s had his chance, BF is not an OC and it’s evident against this big bad juggernaut powerhouse -SDST!
Absolute Garbage! That’s Iowa football- “we may not go down in history but we’ll go down on your sister!”

 

[QChawks]

just need to execute better

 

[Etalicus]

It's almost like they just sat on the bus after the bowl game and just waited for this game.

 

[HFan1981]

Petras just needs more game reps. He will come around. 😅🤪

 

[TNHAWK79]

His throws are awful! Did you see how many WRs were open when he threw the INT? That’s a first year qb mistake, not a 3rd year starter. Sadly it’s not execution, it’s the scheme

 

[denmar81]

Frustrating that the O-line can be so bad these past 2 years with all the accolades that KF has gotten for his o-lines over the years.

 

[Kurt Warner]

That's football

And by stars we have recruited very well on the OL

 

[DewHawk]

Iowa is only one coach leaving (woods or Parker) and they will be reliving pre-Hayden years. Ferentz and son will be an immediate disaster to Iowa football.

just need to execute better

Don't forget "we need to clean up a few things"

 

[mvhomerl]

8-4 at best. Can't depend on D and special teams every week.

My economics professor always said that you vote with your dollars. All of you idiots that supported the season sellout were telling the U if I that you support this product. Well done.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

The urgent thread title brought this to mind for me. Maybe it's thread appropriate. Maybe it's not.

 

[BirdistheWord]

What is the worst that could happen going with Labas or Fack even May? At this point, at least Padilla can make a play or two on the run. Shawn Bradley had quicker feet than Petras.

 

[Hawkeye_4_Life]

With USC and UCLA joining the B10 in 24, without changes to the O to make our offense “fun” for the players/recruits, we can kiss ever winning the West division, let alone a B10 title.

 

[GOHOX69]

Someone loves ALL CAPS! 😉

 

[Sett1997]

It was appropriate, I don't blame him for yelling.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

OP, you waited 8 months, so quit exaggerating.

There won't be a west division. Those suckers are going bye bye as probably are conference title games when playoffs expand to 12.

63-25 over the last 7 years says youre an idiot. NOW!!!

I think we sold out because SDS and ISU bought a bunch of tickets. Then all that was left is Nevada for the family that wants to go to one game. B1G slate is very good so should be sellouts.

Sneaky- trying to fool us into thinking you went to college therefore you are smart.

 

[PD5277]

This has got to be killing recruiting!!! What offensive player would ever want to play for this dismal offense? Seriously, we will lose recruits.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Ones that want to win a lot of games and play in the NFL?

You really need 4 !!!! not !!! I cant be persuaded with !!! much less recruits looking to you for guidance. Step it up !!!!

C'mon man everybody does! Our offense plays defense. Our defense plays offense.

Past results are meaningless.

LMAO

 

[isuisshit]

other than offensive lineman and tight ends Iowa puts a fairly poor number of offensive players in the NFL

 

[wcbtee]

Past results are meaningless.

Soooo by your logic, last week is also meaningless?

 

[83Hawk]

Soooo by your logic, last week is also meaningless?

Just because a team won 10 games last year doesn’t mean it will win 10 games this year.
Just because Iowa has beaten ISU the past 6 times doesn’t mean they will beat them this year.
Just because Iowa won last week doesn’t mean they will win this week.
Just because Iowa’s offense sucked last week doesn’t mean it will suck this week.

Past results are meaningless when predicting future results is what I was referring to. You know this, but are intentionally trying to be a jerk.

Sure, there are trends, and increased likelihood of something happening, but there are no guarantees. Iowa over Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State several years ago come to mind. Iowa’s 12-0 season is another.

I won't blame the fans for being good fans. Even though the 10 wins was kind of smoke and mirrors considering Iowa didn't beat a team that finished top 25 and barely finished ranked themselves even a modest improvement on O was cause for optimism. That can still happen, I'm not excessively optimistic but I'll wait to see how the season goes

63-25 over the last 7 years says you're an idiot. NOW!!!

Could have been even less than 25 losses with a respectable offense. Why wouldn't you want that? You're a cultists, not a fan if you can't admit we need change on an offense that has ranked 88th or worse and is trending down in the Brian era

 

[mlb1399]

I think had you used more exclamation marks and maybe a few more all cap words, change would have happened. Thanks for screwing us all!

If it's the scheme why were so many wrs open on that play...its the player not the scheme. I agree they both BF and KF need to go..but not according to that logic

Soooo just because our offense struggled last week, that is also meaningless then.

I agree there are no guarantees.

 

[BUCKSNDUCKS]

Jesus sally……….get off the ledge. Let’s see what happens tomorrow

 

[radicalhawk]

What pisses me off is why what it is so urgent to give Ferentz a 4 year extension?? His contract expired in 2025 but Barta had to push it out to 2029. We are going to end up in a mess worse than Nebraska having to pay off a coach that is going in the crapper.

Agree a qb change is needed, but please explain Iowas scheme and what's wrong w it? Or r u bitching about something you don't really know anything about like most on here?

Are you serious?? I hope not. Iowa is a skill position black hole for NFL opportunities

Compared to the talent level coming in? Not really.
