Idk - to some extent Penn state simply has a very good DL; so I’m not sure what combination of their line being that good, ours being bad or somewhere in between.
I think the OL is improved, just not where we want them to be.
Jon Budmayr, the "Offensive Analyst." Kirk calls him a "Gift from Heaven."

Maybe just maybe, Penn state is really good.
You don’t earn being ranked as one of the three worst offenses in the country by just one game, it takes a lack of talent, coaching and execution on a consistent basis.
If I wasn’t clear - to me, mobile quarterback doesn’t mean a guy who takes off and runs. It can also mean guys who can maneuver in the pocket, throw on the run, etc.
The gift from Heaven, Kirk says.

after reading that and one of the linked articles i’ve become convinced that the iowa offense will show up this year. now my main worry is pu might poach budmayr along with ragaini and wetjen next year.
We had so much hope in Aug, 2022 when you posted this. Brian was getting the help he needed. Then 8-5 happened.
Then we brought in Cade McNamara, Erick All, and Kaleb Brown. That surely was going to help the offense THIS SEASON. Our offense is dead last in the country.
So much for the "gift from heaven," which is what Kirk called him.
Budmayr is a babysitter making $325k per year, and he sucks at his job.
* He recruited Deacon Hill. Grade: F
* He's supposed to help Brian with the offense. Grade: F
* He's supposed to help develop QBs. Grade: F
one year later, it's time to clean house
No way Jon is the next OC.
Right?
Right?

Unfortunatley they didn't show up last year or this year
Don't think Jon will get poached either
everything went down the tubes on offense this year. at this point, a decision has been made and there was no other option. just hope everyone involved are mature enough to make the right moves forward. beth has provided a clear path to remain successful in the short-term and long-term, hope we take it.Unfortunatley they didn't show up last year or this year
Don't think Jon will get poached either
Just a horrible hire, unfortunately the guy who hired him will never admit it nor fire him…🙁
Want the QBs to improve? 1st give the OC the power to name His QB1 and hire an actual QB Guy like a Matt Mumme for QBs Coach , till those 2 type things happen we are stuck with this at QB1 and no improvement while on Campus
WHich is why I'm convinced Kirk will hire him.
i think BF should have taken a walk (and still be paid) and let Jon call the plays
Any one have any Bucky friends (Torbs?) - I gotta think they were more than happy to see Budmayr join our coaching staff.....Story from today (Aug 23) from HawkCentral.
Some excerpts:
One of the Iowa football program’s most interesting hires of the 2022 offseason has gone from a volunteer consultant to a well-paid offensive analyst.
Jon Budmayr will earn $15,833 per month over a six-month period — totaling just under $95,000 — to help elevate the Iowa quarterbacks room. The salary details were obtained Tuesday by the Des Moines Register via a freedom-of-information request.
Budmayr, 31, has been credited by top-two QBs Spencer Petras and Alex Padilla for advancing the Hawkeyes’ passing game and praised by head coach Kirk Ferentz as "a gift from heaven."
He played for rival Wisconsin and was the quarterbacks coach there from 2018 to 2020 before spending one season as Colorado State’s offensive coordinator. In 2019, Budmayr oversaw one of the most efficient offenses in Wisconsin history with a team completion percentage of 70.1% behind starter Jack Coan. Completion percentage has been a stated high priority for Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz.
Budmayr officially joined the Iowa program March 1 as a “special consultant to the head coach and football staff." His role, as it has been explained by coaches and players, was to help assist Brian Ferentz, who has been transitioning to the role of quarterbacks coach after the departure of five-year quarterbacks coach Ken O'Keefe.
According to the latest agreement with Iowa, Budmayr was hired as a “Temporary Professional Employee” and will serve with the Hawkeyes from July 18, 2022 to January 20, 2023. Budmayr signed the agreement on June 28. He is reporting to Austin Showalter, the Hawkeyes’ director of analytics.
The university has declined media requests to interview Budmayr and did not make him available at the football team’s recent media day. Certainly, if Iowa’s embattled passing game has increased success this season, Budmayr will receive some of the credit ... and would make himself marketable for future coaching positions.

I will not be happy if he is the OC.
I'm not sure what Budmayr does to earn his money, but I'm pretty sure he can't work hands on with any players. NCAA rules allow 1 HC and 10 assistants. They also allow 4 GA's but he doesn't count as that. I was under the assumption he could work with Brian on the game plan but couldn't be on the sideline or on a headset during the game.
If so, just save everyone a lot of trouble and fire Kirk now.
Budmayr would be a very unpopular hire amongst the fans.
Basically says we’re ok being the worst Offense, nothings changing

With extreme pessimism that Kirk is serious about offense and will continue to casually tune into Iowa games.
His presence here has done nothing to improve quarterback play. Nothing.
He was brought on right before the 2022 season. His first two seasons at Iowa have been two of the worst Iowa offenses in history with some of the worst QB play in Iowa history. He has done absolutely nothing to merit the OC job.
Doubt Iowa gets anyone decent with nearing the end of the Ferentz era.
Who would want this shitstain of an offense on their resume'?

I don’t think I could bring myself to even casually tune in.
Under Budmayr, "the gift from Heaven:"
* our offense progressively got worse
* he brought in Deacon Hill
