We get it, dude. You’re not gonna be happy unless Patrick Mahomes wants to transfer here. The best QB at the FCS level is typically an NFL caliber QB, or at least a quality P4 QB. This would be by far our biggest catch of the portal era if it were to happen.
Cam Miller (NDSU) is the #1 FCS QB, and his time is up and will hopefully be a late draft pick. MG is #1B and would be a great get by Iowa (if we can get a WR or 2 along with a few OL).
 
How come the weather always sucks when we end up hosting visitors? Is it because we can’t have nice things?

I get it, he’s coming in from South Dakota so 20s is the norm, but would it kill the football gods to give us a 40/50 January weekend for once!!

Pretty sure we hosted the Rice OT during the freezing rain debacle a few weekends back.

Iowa hosting a key transfer/recruite OR a home basketball game are two surefire ways to guarantee $hitty weather!
 
Just need an OT for depth and come CB help.
And a coach that understands that the game is 4 quarters. A coach that will coach to win the game. A coach that realizes that being up 13-0 in the 2nd quarter does not mean that the offense can be shutdown. A coach that doesn't punt from the opponent's 40 yard line. A coach that doesn't punt while down 3 with 3 minutes to go. A coach that turns the reigns over to his OC rather than overruling him on play calls. A coach that can understand clock management.

Kirk needs to play GM and inspirational leader. Stay the hell away from the offense, play-calling and clock management. If Seth Wallace is worth his title, he can call the TOs.
 
I hope this materializes. I'm a bit concerned that he'll be adjusting to a higher level, as you never know how that will work out. But it's a good addition, regardless of whether he starts or not.

Perhaps we'll see Iowa will start taking more guys from the FCS that are sort of "pre-developed", and then Iowa will work on a one year plan of "finishing" the development in the spring and summer camps. The risk of developing guys for two, three, or four years and then watching them jump to "better" teams is way too high in the current transfer portal environment. So maybe this modified approach is the way for them to maintain their customary practice and brand as a developmental program.
 
If He can lead Iowa to a good Offensive Season in the Shanahan offense He will be a 1st round pick and Him committing will make it much easier to land portal WRs and maybe His WR1 Wilde I would think, Iowa is a QB and real WR threat away from being a real problem on the offensive side.
No… we need a dual threat and he’s definitely not that… he will end up getting sacked a million times behind the line Iowa has… if you have a stellar line then ok but when you have a SIV of a line it’s not going to work.. you need someone who can get out of the pocket fast and he’s definitely not that… he’s a pocket passer at best

The kid clearly has talent and can play. It's up to the coaches to use him properly. That's where the worry comes in. KFz is the QB killer.

He has 1800 yds and 37 tds on the ground! Come on dude! He’s not a stiff at all!

Hmm.. Isn't he a dual threat QB? You're being kind of a Debbie Downer here man.

Who are you talking about? I assume not Gronowski?
