Might as well start a thread now......LOL
Fire KOK
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
it will be interesting; Brian played on the OL when KOK was the OC
hopefully their personalities mesh
You would have to think that Brian had much to do with this hire.
OH YEAH! "Heat protecter" KOK GOOD IF LEFT ALONE FROM CAP" CHIPS" ALL IN NO?
it is shocking to me me HOW HAPPY everyone seems to be.
it was not that long ago when everybody could not wait to get rid of KOK
You do realize he's not being hired as the OC, right?
As an OC he was less than spectacular. I don't fault people wanting something new, as I'm sure they didn't expect Kirk to hire someone as bad as Davis. However, KOK was good at developing QBs and is a good get for Iowa at the moment.
Jimmy and Joes not the X's and O's.
Always was always will be.
KOK was never the problem.
KOK would look great with Deshaun Watson as QB or Zeke Elliot in his backfield.

yeah, but he will be mentoring Stanley and helping our OC, who has NEVER called a play in his life

If you actually believe that, then wow...just wow...I would truly love to live in your world.
what is incorrect in what I said? KOK will be mentoring Stanley and will be working with Brian(who has never called a play in his life)
Definitely a heat protector. Good move by Kirk. Although the lightening rod will not all be on KOK...
Regardless, just give me a higher ranked offense than KOK had. Yes, an average of 55th in the country sounds great, compared to what we had the last few years. But man that is lousy. That is not winning football. Certainly...
Brian was the Run Game Coordinator. He called plenty of plays.
Since Iowa plays a pro-style offense, it's probably a pretty good hire. Brian will be calling the offensive plays since it's his head on the chopping block. I imagine KOK will give some suggestions when asked. Pretty sure Brian will probably be Iowa's next head coach so taking control of the offense will be a small step in that direction.
Bringing Ken back in is not such a bad idea. KOK will help mentor Brian into his new role and the philosophy will essentially remain within Kirks vision. In all the years KF has been coach, the offensive philosophy has not changed. It is not going to change significantly at least until Kirk retires. If Brian is given the keys to the car at that time, he may or may not overhaul at that time. Will depend on the over-all success. I would still expect some new wrinkles to get the fan base excited, but not much more than that. I do think we will have a significantly better and balanced offense.
its been often said and confirmed that the offense KOK ran, reflects more on Kirk than KOK. KOK ran more wide-open high scoring offenses and adapted to life in the Big10 under Kirk's rule.
If anything I think our best hope is that some of the concepts KOK couldn't get Kirk onboard with maybe Brian can... At the very least we can hope to see the return of the play action deep shot and the tight-end screen pass.

Brian taking control of the offense is a HUGE step in that direction. And I believe/hope a good one.

If you are qualified why would you need a mentor. Let the excuses begin. This is a BS hire. Brian has been in the program what 8 or 9 yrs. He should be beyond needing help. JFC he is the offensive coordinator.
I agree with this. IF one of the reasons for bringing in KOK is to help BF then BF is not ready. If that is NOT one of the reasons then I would like to understand "why KOK". I talked to and ex Iowa player and close friend of mine this morning. His take was:
- won't create confrontation with Brian and staff
- won't get in the way of BF becoming HC later on
- won't cross KF
- safe
Frankly it makes sense and it is a sad state of affairs unless BF really blows the doors off and becomes a real progressive version of his pop.
No, it will be fire B Ferentz and hire KOK back again once we all realize how terrible our O is once again the next 20 years or so.
THEN, it will back to fire KOK after that.

Chad Leistikow, Mark Emmert of the Register and Kakert have all said Brian has never called a play; your source?
