Don't we all. Iowa offensive coordinator is the ONLY job you can fail miserably at and still get retained. BF wouldn't keep a job at a fast food joint for 3 week.
Keeping BF is the right decision. 1 more yr.
- Thread starter hawkisoaker
- Start date
Well that depends now. Is Kirk the Manager at the Fast Food joint? If not then you are probably right.
I assume you are talking about THIS off season since you tagged Anderson (who may very well be better then anybody who left) on this. So who are the FOUR talented WR's that left? Jones left LAST year so he's not in the discussion. Bruce has been mediocre overall. Johnson decided to tank the season evidently, so he can shovel shit at KSU as far as I'm concerned, because no decent team mate would do that. I don't remember anyone else who actually played who left, so whats your basis that we lost someone talented?
Neither KF or Barta have A THING to do with 80% of their schedule a FACT that 95% of the fan base chooses to consistently overlook. So supposedly having the schedule "bail him out" over the course of say five years or so simply isn't factual either. Over time we play the same teams that everyone in the division plays and yet over the last decade we have the third most wins in the B1G. We don't get the easiest schedule every year as your trying to speculate as other teams have years where they get a softer landing, and yet the record is what it is......
He lost his job because he got hurt and couldn't play. Don't know if he'll be ready to go in the spring. They were going to use 2 qbs. He has great pocket presence and can feel the rush and step up into the pocket. Petras had zero ability at this. He isn't lead footed like Petras. He hits his WR in stride so they can get YAC.
OK first, "BF was stuck with a immobile inaccurate pro style QB". He was stuck with that QB because once Kirk picks a starting QB he refuses to make a change until that QB graduates or dies. Not BF's call.
Second, he won't be fired because he is Kirk's wife's son.
Third, it wouldn't matter if BF was fired because the next OC will run Kirk's offense exactly the way Kirk wants it run no matter what thoughts of his own he might have. Otherwise, gone in 60 seconds.
In conclusion, no matter who the OC is he will run Kirk's offense exactly the way Kirk wants it run. On Kirk's team, OC is essentially an empty position with no effect on the end result. So, might as well be Brian.
Dude, you keep bringing it up but are just over the edge delusional if you think Kirk is walking away from $7 million a year salary anytime in the near future for any reason other than a stroke or something.
He knows he's absolutely untouchable, that's why he got rid of that fake alumni committee that he assembled to save his ass summer '20, just a couple weeks after signing the contract that made him untouchable. Nice work again, Gary.
He's still doing it now to enrich his family for long past when he's gone, not to try to win anything substantial for Iowa football and the fans. If you can't see that at this point you're beyond help
LOL, it has happened many years in a row, but, if it happens again....
Huh? I'm a Michigan grad/fan and literally watched every single snap that Cade took at Umich...followed his recruitment as a premium member of multiple sites and certainly was well taped into the whole whole Cade vs. JJ battle this past year.
Both were given a start at the beginning of last season. After JJ's start, second game, he was publicly named the starter...not inside info...Harbaugh announced it at a pesser...Cade got hurt in the 3rd game at the end of the 2nd Q (after he lost his job) when we were blowing out Uconn.
So you are are flat out wrong (about how/why) he lost his job...as in flat out factually wrong with no debate...you're wrong!
The thing is I'm a fan of Cade. He beat tOSU and won us our first B10 title in a long long time. Part of me wanted him to beat JJ out...but he didn't and I was fine with that because JJ has more ability. With that said, I was also fine with him transferring because I wish the best for Cade and think he has earned being a P5 starter.
Some here might remember my long post about him litteraly minutes prior to him making his tranfer to Iowa public. It was quite complimentary and even acknowledged by your (former) mods. One I the things I brought up, in my breakdown of his game having watched litteraly every snap he has taken in college including spring games, is his mobility.
While you are not correct about when and how he lost his job you are correct that he is not "lead footed" like Petras. It's an upgrade in that area. The skill Cade possess is a sense of when to bail - what Cade does is avoid/minimize negative plays (lives to play another down that is makeable)...he is quite remarkable at it.
However, he really isn't mobile. His skill his getting back to the LOS or moving around well enough to get rid of the ball. Him gaining positive yards (mobility) is rare. The irony, to this back and forth, is that Cade got hurt (IN THE 3RD GAME AFTER LOSING HIS JOB) when he got crushed in the pocket on his first two snaps of that game. It was completely on his blockers but at the same time a demonstration that he can't make people miss or outrun them...he is not mobile, he's smart...he knows when to take an inch but rarely turns an inch into something more...
Btw...I do wish him the best at Iowa. Great kid...good QB...certainly an upgrade for you guys
He currently doesn’t qualify as a HOF coach.
So the ‘spring ball’ coaching changes won’t impact the OC position? That is about as concrete of a position that you have taken Nostradamus
I won't dispute what you said. Still think if Cade had stayed healthy for the season he would have played alot. Anyway, its your loss. Our gain the way things turned out. I am exited for the first time since Petras started(because I foolishly thought he would be an upgrade over Stanley based on his HS stats) to see a new proven QB take over. If Brian can't make hay with him,he truly is a moron.
How many OCs did Fry have? Snyder and Patterson? I can't recall anyone else. They were both pretty good at their jobs. Snyder being a legend. The early staff Fry had was amazing. So why would he fire them ?Don't recall the DC other than Brashier ?
HF Would have totally dominated the big 10 West..
Any that want Kirk and Brian gone, I don't see how this could work out better for you. If Brian fails in 2023 as you expect he will, I believe Kirk will hang it up and basically the whole staff is cleaned out. He never had to fire anyone and he just retires.
Cool story. Way to post this in 5 different threads. He made this statement over 2 months ago
"You keep bringing up the wins"???r u fking serious, what else truly matters??..if you're winning. Jfc some of you r just dmb.
Wins do matter, how many wins were left on the table by inept offense, then you claim the offense helps the defense with its style.??**** you for being such an insolent cocksucking piece of shit. You know what people are upset about, you know why we won the games we won, you know our offense is one of the worst ever in our programs history.
And you now that because... ? Hayden didn't have that great of a record against Wisky or NW in the 90's after both got good.
Lol, hey dpshit....lots of teams win with great offs, while having shit defenses and vice-versa...u can't be this dmb? Just bc u would like a coach to focus on a better OFF so your blowhard fan self could feel better about it, doesn't mean the outcome would change nor be better.
The results r the results and KF is overaceiving annually in that regard with a program that faces the obstacles Iowa does. U should probably get out of mom and dads basement and experience the world a bit and you may understand that getting 4/5 star & great skill players to come to Iowa is, and always will be, a huge challenge and u likely. Iowa isn't all cracked up to what u think it is to kids from the south. On top of that if theyndo come north, your up against the ND, OSU, NE, WI MI names ofnl thenworld, which nfortunately resonate better than Iowa.....ok, mr.hermit.
We are asking for average, like you wife wishes your dick was at least average
Smart post. Good analysis on how much this offense can improve depending on a few key things, especially the o line play.
Funny coming from the dbag who started a thread defending BF and saying the guy who led the 2nd worst offense in the nation should get another year after having a bottom 10 one the year prior. The irony of you calling someone and idiot who makes a fool out of yourself daily here with your post. Like your legendary hammer thread, lol.

And been drubbed in the conference championship game. Also our main competition in the west is Wisconsin, and they are LIGHT years ahead of where they were when Fry was coaching. So I don't buy him dominating the west either. Wisconsin was dogshit when Fry coached as were NW and Minnesota, so, NO.....
Check the out of conference schedule. We Is actually played really good teams with a pulse. Minnesota wasn't always bad, They actually had some really good teams and Wisconsin got really strong in fry's last 5 to 7 years. I will also get to play rutgers and Maryland. So, Yes
