I don’t…. but what I do wish is I could see how all of the Hawkeye report posters were at 18, 19, 21, 23, 30 and see how they all improved as life went on… Must be a bunch of you guys who were real studs even at 19-20 years old, either that or you’re real dopes now too!
Mostly agree. I think it’s a smart move for a numbers guy. Hell, Iowa has nowhere to go but up right. My dog might be able to improve the Iowa offense by practicing chasing SP & AP in the backfield. Surely, he brings more to the table.
52?
I’m older than you. As we get older I think we learn to have more patience and for me, when it comes to Iowa sports, the results/ losses don’t bother as much anymore. I just appreciate having life, my health, my family.
Seriously? Your first theory- you think KF is doing that to his kid? Your second theory is far more practical.
For someone who posts a lot on the Iowa boards, you sure are a negative SOB.
Teams are only allowed 10 assistant coaches (recently increased from 9). Which of the non-coordinators would you fire to hire to hire him?
Just speculation I admit. However, I think we all agree that Kirk would very much like Brian to be his replacement eventually, yes?
That's crazy lol!!!! I am same as you. You get older and lose people and you realize how short all of this really is and there is no going back.
I get it brother but six kids, a beautiful awesome, yet extremely strong willed wife and a lot of time in the professional workforce wears a guy down…
Yep. My first cousin once removed is married to one of Alabama's consultants. I believe his name is Arenas. He used to be a kick returner for AL.
Someone has to offer him a job first. Not sure he has the success to warrant one right now.
An eye on him? So with Iowa's monumental problems and no solutions, they thought so highly of him that they were initially willing to pay him nothing?
We don't know about a big career. But he has positioned himself very well at this point. If his input is deemed instrumental in moving us from 108 into the 70's this year, he will be highly sought. His next assignment won't be as easy, but he may very well be up to that challenge and beyond.
He actually said that in an interview this fall. Unbelievable. That's already one of our biggest problems.
I think if you look at Brian's resume... he is building success for sure..
It could also shock people in the type of offense and defense he would put in without Kirk in charge.
There is greater reward than risk IMO. The offense can only get better based how we performed to others in country. Based on Kirk’s comment this could be a one and done and move on to greener pastures. I am very intrigued on how this plays out.
If he is a big part in helping move the Offense numbers up the charts by 30 or 40 spots in year one, I hope it is not one and done.
This guy can't be taking too much of a professional risk. With an offense that ranked about 120 last year, the only way to go this year is up. He's kind of like a rope salesman to a man stuck in quicksand.
Open 5 - 7 yards after 2 sec. (likely Blitz route call), open 8 -1 2 yards after 3 sec., and 13 to deep at 4 sec. To get 5 seconds to pass the ball would be a dream (would need a 12 yard shot gun snap) to start.
If the offense improves significantly I don't really care who gets credit, but the overall performance of the offense is the responsibility of the OC so it should be Brian who gets the blame or the credit for it.
63 freakin whipper snappers.......
I agree but it would be extremely nice if we could have a national championship before we all pass on because….in heaven there is no beer!
