Let’s shift gears to talking about our favorite subject: Brian Ferentz

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

It could be argued this is now the second high-profile recruit Iowa has missed on because of Tommy Boy. Blame NIL all you want, but you can’t convince me the shit show offense that generated national headlines week after week didn’t plant seeds of doubt in Proctor’s mind.

While there may be some debate about Proctor, there should be none about Kyler Kasper. The kid literally tweeted a picture of himself inside Kinnick calling it his future home. Then he saw the 2021 Iowa offense and said “hard pass.”

I know people are upset about losing Proctor, but let’s not lose sight of the real problem. No, it’s not NIL (Iowa will get players they normally wouldn’t because of it). No, it’s not Proctor committing to Alabama (that might be a blessing in disguise if it frees up NIL money to get more players at positions of need). No, it’s not Twitter or message boards (as much as a cesspool both are).

No, it’s none of that. What Iowa has is a Brian Ferentz problem. And given that this upcoming bullshit “evaluation” process is exactly that—bullshit—and nothing of substance is going to change with the coaching staff, you have to wonder what it’s going to take for Iowa to rid itself of its Brian Ferentz problem. Sigh.

Anyhoo, I thought the board needed a break from Proctor talk and to shift its ire where it belongs: on Brian Ferentz.

@natchrlman, I hope you are still planning on bringing me something nice Saturday night. Ho ho ho. 🎅🏻

Iowa's problem is Kirk's enormous, fragile ego, arrogance, and mind blowing stubbornness. Greg Davis and now BF have been the symptoms of that underlying disease

 

[grayhair81]

A Ferentz is the source of the offensive woes but his first name doesn't start with a B.

Perhaps, but the Brian Ferentz problem still stands. He’s worse than Greg Davis.

I don’t dispute that per se, but would you not agree Tommy Boy is in way over his head?

I wonder if there is enough money in the Swarm NIL Collective to buy out Kirk's contract.

I’ll guarantee you the Fraudentz family are sitting at home scratching their heads trying to figure out what happened. Hopefully Kirk pointed out those 10 wins last year and this year with a huge must see bowl game. Clowns, every single one of them.

I honestly don’t understand this level of vitriol toward Kirk.

Of course it played a role.

But there’s Kirk explaining to Hawkeye nation that “it’s ok, we’ll move forward with the guys we have in the building and continue to work to improve every day.”

Yada yada yada “we have you all fooled with 7-8 win expectations” yada yada yada “I’m rich” yada yada I’m protected yada yada “watch my son become head coach” yada yada

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash, rehash.

Perhaps I should have started a thread about the kid from SE Polk?

How much more rehash are you interested in?

 

[Bishop1971]

I'm embarrassed by our offense but we have 2 years to see what happens. I think we fill in the holes on our offense and could have a really good season next year and a great one the year after.

You're beyond spoiled.

 

[BCRoss89]

Is there really anything that can be added to this subject? Like all Proctor threads, enough already!

 

[wilson reborn]

Wishing BF a very happy life. But not as Iowa OC. He could start a car dealership in IC and do very well.

 

[grayhair81]

I don’t dispute that per se, but would you not agree Tommy Boy is in way over his head?

I honestly don't know. I suspect Brian would be better off as an OL coach. I don't know who could be an effective OC with the dearth of talent at WR that will always exist under his father. KOK came as close as possible to having a functional offense as anyone but that was 20 years ago and the game has changed. Having an overarching philosophy that is driven by fear of mistakes is not going to attract a lot of top-tier talent at skill positions.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

How much more rehash are you interested in?

Oh, I need more and more of the same shit that gets rehashed every day on this message board. 🙄

If you don’t like, I don’t care. Feel free not to post, or go kiss your autographed Brian Ferentz poster if it bothers you that much. IDGAF what you do, slap nuts.

You and cmhawks should get a room.

Damn it! Don't you know every fan base in the world thinks their coaches are clueless? All you miserable whiners are exhausting to all of us rational sunshine-out-our-asses people.

How'd I do?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Okay. Here’s an idea. Start your own thread about whatever tickles your little pickle. If you’re not interested in a thread, there’s a simple solution: don’t open it.

Bye

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I do mind. I’m taken and not interested in dating you or any other dude (NTTAWWT).

Happy Holidays.

Thanks for proving my point, you have nothing new to add. Like it takes some kind of special effort to start a thread about a topic shamefully beat to death. Congrats.

btw, happy to ignore another thread filled with haters. Here's an idea, take some time to think of something unique (you know, an original thought) and start a thread about that. Bye

 

[Floyd88]

I know he’s an easy target for 98% of the folks on this board-(Me included) but Idk, after rewatching the Holiday Bowl against USC, I don’t think our problem the last two years has been BF. It unfortunately starts and ends with the guy under center, the one snapping the football, and the ones letting the balls go through their hands. Even though the recruiting rankings claim we are better on paper, we ain’t.

don't bet the farm on that

I mean, eh, that's great.. I'm putting together a 14U Babe Ruth baseball team next year and I was wondering if you were interesting in trying out?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Uh oh, am I back on the naughty list?

 

[frydaze]

I honestly don’t understand this level of vitriol toward Kirk.

On this issue, you don’t? Really? Maybe reflect deeper.

Lol. Good night, Kinnick. Don’t quit your day job.

With that nice mane of hair, how ‘bout the local TV sports guy?🤪
