Player personnel (which changes each year) or coaching personnel?
He was voted captain before the season. He's not a popular guy in Ann Arbor anymore and probably never will be. Congrats on getting him though. Real team guy (as long as he doesn't get beat out by a better player)lol a pariah that was voted team captain, seems more like your medical staff is the pariah.
Zone would be fine if you could keep players around for years to develop their cohesion. But when you have a turnstyle especially now with portal. Must scrap zone blocking. That would be the number 1 thing I would do. Then recruit Wiscy style lineman.Bingo. This is the same personnel they recruit year after year. The zone scheme has been here forever, and hasn't worked, but yet they still run it. I am skeptical.
Sounds a bit Alford-like. You want better players RUN A BETTER OFFENSE and go out and recruit them. What a B.S. line.So we’re now throwing the players under the bus? We would have run a different offense with better players?

He and other mecheatagain fans ARE the reason I'll be rooting for TCU.Why are you here?!!! Go away troll. You're making me want to root for TCU. Ugh
Did you see what did not get beat out at Iowa for the last 3 years? I think we can count on Cade being a real team guy....He was voted captain before the season. He's not a popular guy in Ann Arbor anymore and probably never will be. Congrats on getting him though. Real team guy (as long as he doesn't get beat out by a better player)
I thought Cade was the better QB when they were playing both. Not sure they chose JJ McCarthy.You are so FOS it's not even funny. STFU and go away Ole Ted.
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bingo. This is the same personnel they recruit year after year. The zone scheme has been here forever, and hasn't worked, but yet they still run it. I am skeptical.
Stop. The majority of Michigan fans who post here are decent. Yes, some Michigan fans are arrogant pricks. Most, from my experience, are decent.He and other mecheatagain fans ARE the reason I'll be rooting for TCU.
So with our O line currently how is stretching the field going to workout….Bottom line is our OL,,,,You can bring in the BEST qb in America , won’t matter till we get that OL up to par.

We often hear about the "stability" aspect of KFz being so tenured...and how that's such a plus for the program. If you can't get the players you want to run your offense in 20+ years at a place...
CM what is really tiresome is we finally have a QB who is proven and can help the young QB'S in the room.Man it gets tiresome doesn’t it….I wish those fans didn’t post here!

Next he immediately raises the level of recruiting a notch and also the receivers we have by getting them the ball on time. Think a simple screen pass.
But here come the downers with the same narrative when there are changes being made!? This is when you can change, when you have better players at skill positions.
Then it's about why they don't recruit those types of players when the answer all along is they do, but this isn't tOSU. Damn tough to get it all to line up at most schools. We have a punchers chance now and the message board fans can't wait for something bad or off to happen.
Yeah, this is a personnel problem....lol! First off they are the ones recruiting these guys. Secondly, I'm super excited about the upgrade to WR they have planned where they will replace two 4 stars (who will transfer to P5 programs) with guys from lower divisions. Totally makes sense.
Charlie Jones probably isn't popular in Iowa City either, but I doubt if he or Purdue really cares.....He was voted captain before the season. He's not a popular guy in Ann Arbor anymore and probably never will be. Congrats on getting him though. Real team guy (as long as he doesn't get beat out by a better player)
Seeing is believing. Until the results are shown, there are waaaaaay too many reasons to be skeptical.Then it's about why they don't recruit those types of players when the answer all along is they do, but this isn't tOSU.

Let's take him at his word, no way he could know any better.Just watched a podcast with Cade and he said that Iowa has wanted to change the offense for years but haven't been able to due to personnel. Cade also said they are going to try and get multiple targets for him and All seems like a lock.
A lot of false assumptions in your post. First off his name is Cade. How exactly are they negatively recruiting? That makes no sense. Who are they scape goating? Personnel issues can be for multiple reasons. This year is a PERFECT example, and is 100% true. look at the WR issue. First two backups transfer out end of last year. Then Jones leaves after spring and too late for Iowa to find an adequate replacement. Then Keagen Johnson is AWOL basically all season with injuries. Vines gets injured and misses first five or 6 games. B Brecht had a hamstring issue and couldn't play the first several games. Then Ragaini gets injured and misses first several games. Basically the WR room was crippled for the first 1/2 of the season and Johnson who was supposed to be the guy this year, never played, not to mention Jones baling late in the game.Let's take him at his word, no way he could know any better.
That's just another indictment on the coaching staff. It's not like they were handed the keys to a jalopy - they built the car then got mad when it didn't perform. Now negatively recruiting and scape goating former players? Bad look.
Glad Case didn't pick up on those red flags though.

Let’s go Cade MacNamara! Get Iowa outta the dumps!

Horrid offensively in 4 of 5Well FWIW I’m not going to judge the team on this years 7-5, I’ll judge them on the last 5.
Not reaching your potential because I’d one phase of the game, that’s still a problem. It’s like being satisfied with a 100k a year job, when you could be making 500kWins are wins!

Being abysmal at one aspect?? YesIs that abnormal in college football or sports in general?
The offense is garbage but who cares! The defense wins us games!!Wins are wins!
The offense was not improved from the first game to the disaster against Nebraska.A lot of false assumptions in your post. First off his name is Cade. How exactly are they negatively recruiting? That makes no sense. Who are they scape goating? Personnel issues can be for multiple reasons. This year is a PERFECT example, and is 100% true. look at the WR issue.

Then there's the OL. Numerous injuries to start the year and during. Britt and Davidkov were planned to be in the mix, but no. Davidkov was a great get with major offers including Michigan and was probably projected as one of the starting tackles by now. He's never been on the field and Britt not much either in his three years. Another 4 star with really good offers who hasn't been able to get on the field. Myslinski and Elsbury battled injuries early and probably awarded Jones the center spot by default. Do you really not understand that these ARE personnel issues, and have played some role in Iowa's struggles?
Ok, but wins are wins and despite the inside critics, there are 100+ teams that wish they were us!The offense is garbage but who cares! The defense wins us games!!
This argument is unbelievably pathetic.
Exactly, lots of teams face adversity, and they do what they can! Some go 5-7 like A&M, some go from top 10 to 7-5 like okie St..We aren’t alone. The above is a super short list!The offense was not improved from the first game to the disaster against Nebraska.
It is too bad that Iowa is the only team that had injuries this year, maybe the injuries will be zero like other teams next season
Iowa had multiple games with only one scholarship WR healthy. That doesn't happen very often.The offense was not improved from the first game to the disaster against Nebraska.

Haaaa!!! It was the players fault and all it took was Iowa getting a qb as great as Cade for Ferentz to see the light. Cade loves him some Cade. Good stuff. He's a pariah at Michigan now and after you guys have your typical 9-3 season none of you will remember he ever played at Iowa either. Young, dumb people who just don't see the big picture...
