I guess Ty Thompson isn't visiting after all?

It's more disturbing that there's not been an announcement that Barnett is leaving.
KF too lazy to go thru two hiring processes?

Who needs a solid, healthy QB1 anyway…
Probably because Barnett isn't leaving
Yep. ..who doesn't want to see another big step forward by the OLine?
BTW...that's sarcasm for anyone who hasn't watched Iowa football for the last two years.
Barnett should be looking for another job.
What are we doing?!?
What are we doing?!?
If you've ever read reports from Kirk, he believes Barnett is a tremendous coach and an amazing leader.
If true, the oline is worse than we imagined.
Oh, we know how bad it is. Hard to underestimate that.
And it tells me the reserves also aren't progressing.
Cade won't make it to mid-season in 2024.
OL has been bad since Barnett was hired and Ihave seen no real improvement , Copeland and Barnett should have been let go last off Season
The non action to improve hints KF is leaving sooner than later and he's simply too damn lazy to do an asst coaching search.
Haven't you heard? The scout team OL per Barnett is as good as he has seen...I kid you not, wish I had that tweet from late fall.
There are so many broken parts to Iowa football, it's sad. Oh but I should add, we won games this year!
He finally came to his senses and turned on the lights and saw how ugly are offense really was and how incompetent the offensive coaches were
Nebraska level broken? Look at Illinois' recruiting base. It doesn't appear to me that Iowa is as broken as they are.
This one hurts. We don't have a solid QB on our roster
I think at this point Kirk should let the new OC fire and hire their own OLine coaches with input to and from Kirk. The OC needs to trust his own coaches.
Kirk feels it's unnecessary to improve with a 10 in the win column. I also think he doesn't want to admit he made a bad hire and doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings with a firing
Just my opinion but I'm not in favor of letting Copeland go.
He got Johnson to come here and he looks like he will be good at KSU now that he's healthy. He got Brown here who is the highest rated wr we have ever had. I believe he has one of the hardest jobs in America. Not many wrs will even look at coming to Iowa because of how old school the offense is.
Barnett might be a great guy and a good leader but the offensive line has but improved at all. He needs to try somewhere else.
I'm not saying I don't want him to be....just that I don't think believe he will be.
Kirk still thinks Brian is right for OC, no wonder he thinks Cade and Deacon are right for QB.
Bottom line: WRs are dropping passes & not getting separation.
The group is very underwhelming.
I don’t see how Copeland has earned this job for ‘24.
I understand that and fair points. I just don't think he has a chance to excel at his job with the offensive scheme limitations... and offensive limitations as a whole.
I also feel like our wrs have more separation than what meets the eye on TV. There were times that guys were completely open at Kinnick and they weren't looked at. We also are extremely risk adverse and don't seem to let our wrs make a play on a 50-50 ball.
Again, I get your points and understand these feelings. I just think it's hard to assess him when he has zero help.
