Iowa's Media is Hilarious

Really…. So every single good potential OC (sounds like there must only be about 20 of them) will have changed teams…WTF?!
I guess I would say it really speaks volume to the amount of stock a bunch of grown men put into a bunch of kids playing football.
I mean look, I'm as diehard a Hawk fan as there is, but call it perspective I suppose, but who Kirk hires isn't actually going to make or break my life. I figure it will get done when it gets done, and then I'll bitch about the hire. Now on to something more important: I'm giddy about Geico bringing back the caveman in their new commercial spot. Now that's worth mentioning.

I don’t care how long it takes. Just get this hire right
I live 1000 miles away and am fine with ignoring Iowa media
This is correct. We as fans need to know that this is Iowa and 2023 was basically peak success. Stop bitching.
I don’t care about our stupid media. But KF has received a wake up call here. Nobody worth a shit in his mind has wanted the job. This is not conjecture to use his word.
I am completely stunned the media is trying to conflate things, that never happens. not in sports, politics, day-to-day stuff... It's as if they just want clicks and to be the first, not right, but just the first.
I'm all for KF finding the right person, but to say it doesn't impact recruiting is crazy talk. We've had 6 FBS or FCS schools in the past two weeks to talk to juniors at the high school I work at. One of them is from a school who hired a new coach during the bowl games. We are down 2 offensive coaches at the moment who could be talking to juniors establishing relationships. Do you think we just call guys a week before signing day? Especially with the offensive output the past 3 years, kids are coming here to play WR or QB based on the relationships with coaches not the offense.
Something tells me none of those juniors will be committing within the next week. Plenty of time to establish relationships
Sometimes, the media needs to create the news and not report it. That is the BIG negative with today’s 24/7 News networks, internet sites and even “social media”……lots of noise as compared to substance…..and too many consumers are to inexperienced to wear “blinders” when consuming.
CHATGPT write me an article about the Iowa offensive coordinator position that is different than the one you wrote yesterday and make it saucier.................................................
Do you guys ever get tired of saying things that look stupid later ?
Actually, we've been without an OC for the better part of a decade.....
I live in the Chicago suburbs. During football season I typically fly an Iowa flag. My mailman who doesn't follow college football asks me how the Hawkeyes are "treating me this year". I said good, they're going to be playing in the B1G championship game. He says "Oh really? I heard they have a really bad offense". I said yeah I know.
Do you mean a program that has won a shit ton of meaningless games in the last 20 years? Last truly meaningful win in your little mind???
FWIW, Iowa has their list of juniors they have offered or are interested in. Many visited games in the fall and came to Iowa City during bowl prep. Key recruits will also visit during spring practices. Iowa will continue refining their list and all key recruits will visit for a key junior weekend in June. Last year's weekend was very successful. We may miss on a few portal prospects but there will be more in the spring. That is when Brown transferred from OSU.
No shit it’s not going to really affect any of our lives, but you admit to being a diehard fan, post on an internet message board, and you’re gonna throw shade at those that express their opinions? I’m 40, I have real life shit to worry about as well. But I, and I’m guessing most others who post here, come to this place to forget about daily life for a while and talk about the team they love. It’s pretty ridiculous there is still no OC named and it’s certainly something to discuss.I guess I would say it really speaks volume to the amount of stock a bunch of grown men put into a bunch of kids playing football.

And then he decides he wants to coach defense where he would have some good kids to work with
Fair enough
All I’m saying is it’s not worth stressing over. It’s not gonna speed up Kirk’s decision. We’ll all have a chance to complain soon enough
Agree with all this. I cannot imagine having any actual stress over it, but it’s still quite strange we don’t have an OC by now.
The hurry is kinda funny/amusing, but the vast majority of people just want someone that is going to inspire hope, not just within the fanbase, but with the f***ing players and program.
Even the players know the offense is dog sh**, and more importantly so do recruits and potential transfers.
If we don't have an OC by Feb 2, does that mean 6 more weeks without one?
I would not include the YT video entitled "Iowa Offensive Coordinator search has become a nightmare", as coming from members of the "media", if that is what you are referencing.
