Kakert and Leistekow on OC - 12/13
- Thread starter pistachio1999
- Start date
So is that just their take...or is there something to support it? Talks? Calls?
Andy Ludwig-
In the four seasons since Ludwig's return, the Utah offense has eclipsed 450 yards of total offense in a game 24 times in 47 games, also scoring 30-or-more points in 34.
In the four seasons since Ludwig's return, the Utah offense has eclipsed 450 yards of total offense in a game 24 times in 47 games, also scoring 30-or-more points in 34.
- Ludwig is a proponent of a balanced offensive attack and has coached a 1,000-yard rusher 17 times in his FBS coaching career, including Utah’s Quinton Ganther (1,120 in 2005), Darrell Mack (1,204 in 2007) Zack Moss (1,416 in 2019) and Tavion Thomas (1,108 in 2021).
- In his four seasons back with the Utes, Utah has finished in the top-three in the Pac-12 in passing efficiency twice (2019, 2021), including ranking eighth nationally and atop the league in 2019.
- In addition to a strong passing attack, Utah has ranked in the top-three in the Pac-12 in rushing offense in three of the last four seasons, including leading the league in 2019 and 2021.
- In the last two seasons (2021, 2022), the Utes have produced two of the highest rushing yard totals in school history with Utah’s 3,047 yards in 2022 ranked second and its 3,035 yards in 2021 ranking third all-time.
- The Utes also broke the school record for rushing touchdowns in a season in 2022, punching in 38 after setting the record at 37 in 2021.
Kakert mentioned that Ludwig had interest in this same position in the past at Iowa. I take that to mean when Kirk hired Brian. Just to get some of you fired up.
There can be some serious upside if Kirk lets this hire have some rope. And it’s not like they have anything to live up to with their predecessor, so no pressure there.
I would be good with either Paul Chryst or Andy Ludwig. Chryst would certainly maintain Kirk’s style of play. Has much more experience with QBs than Brian ever did. I would expect much more development. Perhaps the same with Ludwig. However, I am not as familiar with Ludwig as I am with Paul Chryst! GO HAWKS!!
Chryst has the resume to tell Kirk who His QB1 is and that is huge . Kirk respects Him and is far more apt to say You be You Boo because He knows Chryst is in the same Philosophical universe .
if you are giving someone $500,000-$1,000,000 to sign forget the scholarship
If it is Chryst Maalik Murphy just entered the Portal as well RS Fr QB who would be a rather nice addition to the QB room .
That would be the best case scanio. Or Ludwig bringing one of utahs QB who entered the portal. I know we aren’t looking for QBs but a new OC might get the option of picking their players a bit
Earth shattering news from our insiders.
If Philbin has interest in coming back to Iowa make him the highest paid OL coach in the nation and absolve him of recruiting duties! I’d give my left nut for that.
I think they need someone that can sale. Recruiting is still a huge part of this game even with NIL. Will Cryst or Philben have the energy to put forth good recruiting efforts? I’m unsure about that. Ludwig seems to be the wildcard here and Utah is a program that in a lot ways is Iowa but better Offense.
Philbin left college because he didn't like recruiting.
If you want an OC that is young and can recruit then a call to Ryan Grubb should be in the cards then add head coach in waiting to the title/Associate Head Coach/OC.
If he didn’t like it back then, he’d probably last about a month these days on the recruiting trail.
How can you root for Alabama? The sec needs to suck as they are the conference that didn't belong in the CFP.
All you’re telling me is he’s not qualified to run Iowa’s style of offense. Too many points. Too many yards.
I try to go all Philbun on first Dates, My 2nd Date % is mendoza line stuff for some reason .
Based on Kakerts record I’d bet my money on neither of the first two. TK has zero inside info that much I’m sure of. I’m calling that now.
Great post pistachio! Hopefully Al of this happens and we get back these super seniors - I still think we need one more qb in the portal
Iowas not an elite program, there’s maybe 5 of them. We can’t operate like something we’re not and don’t have the $$ to do. Get a clue.
How long would Grubb wait though? Remember we have that patented Barta extension still in place.
In my defense, those stats were only through the 22 season. I have a feeling that the 2023 stats aren't quite as impressive.
They also stated on the pod that Kirk does not require either coordinator to go on road recruiting. It’s their choice if they want to go visit a kid.
I don't think OSU would shell out the most money they ever spent for an analyst on a washed up coach.
I sure as hell hope they’re looking at QBs. If not the OC talk doesn’t mean crap IMO.
We have Glass Joe and Tweedledee and some other kid that won’t play because his side burns are too long or something equally stupid and out of touch. That’s our QB room.
Until Kirk stops the high school favoritism/‘doin it the right way’ bullshit, nothing is changing… barring some huge talent upgrade at QB. And WR and OL
Right now we have no schollies for kids in the portal. I know people keep saying we need an OC now because portal, but we don't have room as it stands now.
