Here is Fry's record, up and down,. Similar to KF. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/coaches/hayden-fry-1.html
Hey haters how about that play calling
- Thread starter JAMAM
- Start date
So we beat a team we should have beat ....we didn't just barely beat them we convincingly beat them! The same people that are now complaining we beat a bad team were the same ones claimed we didn't have a shot at winning this game. My point is we got spoiled by beating Ohio St. and now we think we should be going to the Super Bowl! The inconsistencies are do to .....tell me again how many freshmen and sophomores have been playing! Enjoy ....don't complain ...cry babies!
Actually it is 7.4 wins per year for Kirk Ferentz
Hayden.....7.1 wins per year at Iowa
Barry Alverez ..... 6.5 wins per year at Wisconsin
James Franklin...8.0 wins per year overall
and so on.....again for the millionth time, Iowa is not a upper echelon football program and never has been. They are in that bunch that 7-9 wins is a solid season. They will have that 2 maybe 3 year run where they are winning 9+, but it is a roller-coaster program. Reality is the best asset someone can have when laying their Saturday mental well-being on the line. This is a young Iowa team that is 7-5 won some that surprised everyone and lost some that were stunners.....happens every Saturday around the country. "Sports Happen" and that is why it is great every year being a college football fan. For the 30 and under crowd or the old-farts that think the Hayden years were awesome....reality reality reality.
I can never argue with dismantling Nebraska in their house...BUT if somebody can read me Hockenson's stat line from yesterday, they'll find out why I'm frustrated with BF.
We have 2 TEs who are a matchup nightmare for almost any defense in the country and we're throwing bubble screens to Nick Easley and ISM. Nothing against those guys, but we have a bigger advantage with the big fellas and they hardly saw the ball yesterday. Fant made his touches count though.
Maybe I'm overreacting since Fant does have the school TD record for TEs, but I just think they could be utilized more than they are.

Play calling was good in those games. Execution and discipline (penalties, drops, missed OL assignments, etc)....not so much.
It's not pathetic, its passion. You have no reason to be embarrassed, what are you embarrassed about? Please keep giving us the "you call yourself fans" speech, the reason these forums exist isn't so we can all come on here and poop sunshine and butterflies; sometimes we need a place to vent when the team we look forward to every single Fall to escape our lives for a few hours every Saturday (and one Friday), continues to remain mediocre. Get off the pedestal, please.
GO HAWKS.
When Iowa wins=BF was aggressive. When Iowa loses=BF wasn't aggressive enough.....LOL. He wasn't any more 'aggressive' than any other game. They just executed and caught the damn ball.
No one has a problem with people 'venting', it's these folks that go on and on, day after day, week after week, poisoning every thread with their whining and hate for the coaches and the AD, etc. How or why would you consider them 'fans'? They are only 'fans' of listening to themselves bitch.
Every Offensive Coordinator that played Nebraska this year had their best career day. Coincidence? I think not.....
I thought that was partly by design to force Nebraska to defend the the entire field, which in turn kept them from packing the box to stop the run.
We didn’t get a ton of yards on them but I thought they were effective.
Are you serious? How about 7-5 and playing in snow for a bowl. Keep it coming apologists!
You are not trolling anybody. You are posting like a child after a win, but you are nowhere around after a loss.
Biggest changes I saw was going to more fullback to take away the LB running thru the spots vacated by pulling linemen and more straight ahead vs Stretch blocking after the 1st Qt. both good adjustments. Finally in game adjustments . If that means He has learned something this year good
Those aren't changes. Learn the difference between inside/outside zone, power/ISO, Gap scheme, counter trey, 'pin and pull' and how each is blocked before giving us anymore of your 'expert' analysis, LOL. They had a couple 'wrinkles' in the run game this week, but you wouldn't know them and you didn't mention them. You signed up just to badmouth coaches and posters, but in order to 'critique' something, you should be at least somewhat proficient at what you are critiquing. You are not. And I can always tell the 'mentality' of a poster by their name and/or avatar. 'Dick Rambone' tells me pretty much all I need to know....now you just need an avatar with a scantily clad woman or something, so we all are certain what a 'man' you are, Lol.
