I’m pretty sure I know. I’d bet most that leave Iowa aren’t dying to get back, especially fb coaches who don’t have any affiliation with the University.

Wrong. They have zero inside info, sources, etc. The entire iowa sports media are amateurs.
In the small window of time between when Ty Thompson made plans to visit and then canceled his plans, an Iowa reporter got word of it from a source and reported his plans to visit. So you’re saying you knew about that independently?
He would immediately change the national perception, tone things down a little initially, until recruiting sufficient offensive playmakers picked up. Hayden had mojo. Iowa desperately needs some mojo. He would also have the inside track to HC if he turned things around.

It certainly wasn't the reporters that you mention and give you wood. They are not respected but anybody in the iowa inner circle.
He is getting killed behind the Washington line.
I highly doubt KF will be a part of the decision for the next HC
Iowa’s offensive line needs to be better and Barnett’s seat should be hot but you also have to ask yourself what does Iowa currently do to help the OL out? They make that position almost impossible right now.
I am guessing that walk on Jack Johnson probably would have gotten more playing time than Brown if he had not laid down a bunch of $5 bets thru his Mom (Jill)….😎
1. I don’t want a likliter scenario. Who is really running the offense? Does deboar have a big hand in the offense? Maybe it’s grubb maybe it’s him.
2. It’s not like Washington’s offense is lighting the world on fire so far and that’s with great receivers and an experienced qb. What can we do. We still need balanced run oriented offense
Their playing against the #1 team in the Nation. Have you watched the entire season? Remind me how Iowa did against Michigan?
Also, if they’ve waited this long, it might be worth another week to see who gets purged from the NFL or to talk to Grubb.
Washington is balanced in how they move the ball around. Also they have plenty of success running the ball out of passing sets and mix some power into the running game.
Copeland would be a scapegoat. What has our WR recruiting been before him & how exactly do you entice any WR worth a shit to come to this crap (being nice) offense?
It’s not ball control and Kirk would not like it. We don’t have the receivers. Give me Michigan’s offense any day.
Unbalance overloads extra lineman and a qb that will run. That’s an offense Iowa can run consistently.
How or why Brian couldn’t use an extra lineman or unbalanced formation to our advantage shows how low level he was.
Iowa had the worst offense in the past 20 years of college football. You don’t need Washington’s offense to win a game vs Michigan.
Who do you think we can recruit? Good te’s rbs and lineman with 1-2 good receivers or a stable of elite receivers that struggle with Michigan.
Hope Chryst could do better than 50 yards rushing and 13 points against Michigan 😉
Give me anyone that would line up 6 lineman and 3 tes like Michigan just did to score there. Iowa can be that team.
keep an eye out for Nick Shannon. OC/ Asst head coach for Kansas City State. His dad Andy Shula coached OL in the league and his grandpa Scott Marchibroda is a HOF FCS coach.
Both ISM and Brandon Smith committed before he was hired.
We've seen pretty much everyone else regress or leave under his watch. Even with poor scheme, he's not doing his job.
I know, I highly doubt that will be the case but it's still the only way I think Grub takes the job.

I agree, though that is not saying much as the past 3 years were "burn the ships" bad. I would counter with the fact that the game has evolved and we have regressed. We are Blockbuster Video while most everyone else is streaming. I would also say that Iowa fans have rationalized to where we would be happy with a 80th-90th ranked offense (or in that ballpark). We have to expect more.
100%. After where this offense has been the past few years, being 80-90 probably sounds pretty good to some people, but got to keep in mind that's still bottom third or so nationally. Yuck.
I agree. Probably should strive to be better than that.
"Sick of having to carry the defense, Grubb makes the move to Iowa City where the defense is just as good as his offense"
There’s a limit to the jump Iowa is going to make under KF at this point in his career, but you might be surprised at what it would do to jump up to 70th. Michigan’s offense was 70th nationally in yards per play and yards per game, so you can play a really good Game there if your D is elite. Iowa State was 70th nationally in scoring offense at 26.2 PPG and Iowa was 129th at 15.4.
If Iowa had a 70th level offense (still below average in FBS), the record likely would have only been 1-2 games better, but the narrative would have been completely different. Iowa would likely have competed against PSU and Michigan and maybe they steal one or the other. They’d have definitely beaten Minnesota….but the bulk of the rest of the games would have been significantly larger wins and Iowa would have been no kind of punch line (and BF probably stays at that point).
I moved from Southwest Iowa to Seattle 19 years I will visit every so often in the spring or fall, but no way in hell I'd ever do the summers and winters again.
Probably not as many as the always insightful Fire Brian posts over the past 5 years. Same people, same valid complaints, but hundreds of new posts. I just pass on them if I'm not interested in possible new info.
Good point on the changing narrative. That’s something to keep in mind, with the criteria for making the playoff still highly subjective.
