Not sure its that as much. He's stated in podcasts that he's following Labas this year. He's said Labas doing well is the biggest indictment of Brian.
Labas
- Thread starter F. A. Hayek
- Start date
What good team did Iowa beat? How did Iowa do against real good teams? Yeah, I remember - a goose egg.
If Petras has time to throw, he should pick up big numbers. He had enough moments at Iowa to make that clear.
Labas, in the first game of the new season for a new team, matches or exceeds all of Deacon Hill's positive offensive stats for the season last year.
Good riddance, Brian Ferentz.
(not super enthused that the previous QB coach is now the WR coach, though)

Did they give him some chances? It’s possible Joe didn’t make the best of them. Hopefully he makes the most of his current opportunity, regardless of how it shook out in IC.
Iowa beat several decent teams last season.
But it really doesn't matter what you or I think is or isn't a decent team. There are no astriks, footnotes, or opinions in the record books.
You think some kid that hasn't been born yet looks at the record book in 20 years and forms an opinion of Iowa's 2023 schedule?
Iowa just won 10 games for the 11th time in program history. You think any of the members of that team are going to let someone try to take that away from them? You think they care what anybody thinks about the schedule?
Take any random season. People are going to judge the schedule differently and the record books don't give a crap
Wow, 15 yards per attempt, we will have to follow him this year. And if a kid is having some problems maybe it is good for all the coaches to try and help, get him some help, instead of the "your in the doghouse" shit
@eyesofhawk in the words of chis, stop posting.
I apologize if you are autistic or something... seriously, you are wrong on every opinion you have.
In football terms, being late to meetings is a bigger deal than smoking weed or getting an OWI.
How do you work with a guy on this? Perhaps they tried to get him therapy or something during the summer. Who knows? I bet Kirk is more informed than us about it. If Labas came back in the fall still not fully invested, at a position like QB, that's a wrap.
I bet Kirk has a better idea than us about decisions involving his football team
80% of football fans are clueless in regards to football.
I'm sure glad I don't think like them
I’d argue keeping your son on staff for another year after he lead the nation’s worst offense is a bigger deal than a backup QB showing up to meetings late.
Wait a tic.
Its legal to throw the ball further than 5 yards downfield, let alone past the line of scrimmage!?
Why wasn't BF informed of this??
JFC it was central Connecticut. If he does this against even a MAC team you might have something.
Totally dude. They actually value a little bit of offense to complement a whole LOT of defense. Idiots.
That would be one way I'd actually agree with most fans if they actually valued defense at all
Why are you defending Deacon Hill and our terrible offense? Everyone on here knows it’s been awful for the Davis and BF years. Kirk let it go for reasons no one can make sense of other than plain old stubbornness. Watching players that were not given the opportunity to see if they could do better than a Deacon Hill is interesting and compelling; especially given the fact this is a current game in progress vs what the hell else is in progress that relates to Iowa football?
Ok let’s discuss Harris Walz interview. Lol
My point is you don’t like this performance update and interest because…you have something more interesting to discuss?
Please explain football to us with a 100k word post.
Starting Hill was indefensible and no, the imbecile with her emotional support pet interview is less interesting 😂
Well it's neverending.
But I will point out a dynamic to touch many on this board:
I'm the one who mostly agrees with and supports the coaches. And I'm the one who's viewpoints are considered crazy. What does that tell you?
Well, Iowa has 7 wins with Hill at QB to defend it.
They had a building full of unified teammates defending it.
They have Lester's spring evaluations defending it.
There have forever been coaches that have chosen not to play true freshman QB's. So fans can reasonably assume it to have been the correct decision.
And the decision doesn't need defended anyway, because it was made by a 7 figure/year coach that should have earned the benefit of the doubt decades ago
final stats for labas 18/24 342 yards 3 TDs. seems to have stayed in pocket all game only 1 rush for 1 yard.
makes cmu's game against IL interesting

That you’re a schlep for a football staff that has been objectively terrible at all things offense for multiple years?
See what I mean?
No, they actually haven't.
But even if they were, good thing it's wins rather than offense that matters.
You're calling out the staff of one of the most successful programs in the country. How laughable is that?
Labas wasn’t a true frosh last year. And they did play him in the bowl game as a true frosh and he played well.
All things point to Labas having taken himself out of contention. Have you been paying attention?
And no, Labas was not a true freshman in his bowl start
You mean because he didn't wear Hawkeye gear, lol?
All I can tell you is the team clearly rallied around Brian. And it helped them win 4 games in a row
I'd be salty too after what I did to you. Sometimes you just have to take the L on the chin.
