It’s mind boggling how different KF feels about rb’s and ball security and Qb’s and ball security. You don’t have ball security as a rb, your playing days are numbered. As a starting qb, you can continue to fumble the ball away all season long and not even have a glimpse of reduced playing time.
How do YOU take Kirk’s comments?

Ball security is never a problem in practice because the defense isn’t rushing him or touching him.
So what makes more sense here…given how bad Deacon was…
The fans loudly asking WHY after a ton of objective evidence that the #1 guy consistently performed terribly?
Or…
Kirk just simply not changing b/c “that’s not how he rolls.”
Makes no goddamn sense for Kirk to have that approach. None.
Ferentz. Should. Retire.
I think its Kirk's consistent and persistent coach speak relative to his offensive philosophy as Head Coach. I was glad Tim Lester came on and dove a bit deeper into his approach as OC, which married up to the philosophy.
Kirk's thoughts on Offense:
Ball security
Be mindful of field position
Have regard for time of possession
Move the ball effectively
I suppose if you asked Kirk his philosophy on defense it would look like this:
Stop the run
Limit explosive plays
Tackle well
Turn the offense over
Pretty fundamental and non-sexy thoughts on either.
I think the fan's disappointment with the offense though the years and this OC hiring process led to a lot of people conflating the issues and becoming a bit outraged, which is completely understandable.
Yeah but KF has never been wrong about which QB is the best one in the room... er, wait.
I would assume most coaches feel the same way as you put on offense, besides being huge on TOP. Some of those high powered offenses score so quick TOP doesn’t mean much to them.
Last year should be the last. An anemic offense should help garner us 5-7 wins per year. Our D & ST won’t be able to win them all for us, especially with the upgrade in opposition.
If the offense doesn’t start pulling its own weight? None
I don't see how any rational fan could disagree with what Kirk said to Dolph. This is the exact same approach the great Hayden Fry had, although a certain group of morons won't admit that. Nothing Kirk said puts any restrictions on the OC. Many people here just want to bitch. So have a nice time bitching.
He says illogical stuff like that because he thinks or knows he is untouchable as the head coach. He doesnt have to think real hard about what they do on offense each year.
We all know that in 2021 is when all the opponents started loading the box even more than before, 8 men a lot of the time. And it just stopped Iowa's offense what little there was of it in 2021 to a crawl.
I sure hope I dont have to find this post of yours, for future replies, if the hawk offense does not change in any way with WRs split out farther and some other variations. with the same blocking and running and the same playcalling patterns.
Other teams have the hawks offense totally scouted out and they know all the tells. Proctor by himself is not going to overcome that.
After listening to Kirk's response during that pregame audio again. Not the ****ing tweets, the actual source.
I don't like how he responded to Dolph's question by doing an immediate double down. Seemed instantly defensive. Not a good look for an experienced (aging) coach.

I'd like to take a royal wee in Ferentz's morning coffee
KF was asked about the freedom the OC will have, and his answer was mostly spent talking about the defense. And ball security/field position.
It tells me that offense remains Kirk's blind spot. I don't see much changing. I just hope that Lester makes a more competent OC than his predecessor, and that he can at least get this offense's rankings back out of the triple digits.
How do I take KF's comments? The same as always, by ignoring them.
He doesn't vary from his non-answer coach speak. It's a lot of "nothing to see here folks, move along."
Meaningful answers will only come from what we see on the field.

At this point, IMO, it is not a blind spot or ignorance. It is arrogance, but again JMO and we will see if Ferentz restricts another OC.
