looking at what this team has this year vs the past few years

[thawk1]

RB this season they have these listed going into the summer.
RSSR Canzeri
JR Daniels
RSSO Wadley
RSSO Parker although its said he will now be a full time WR
RSSO Mitchell he was listed as a ATH when he signed and started out as a WR
RSFR Hilliard who was recruited to play defense and because of injuries was kept at RB
TRUE FR Graham looks to RS this fall. now its a matter of keeping them healthy and on the team.

looking back 2012 IA had these
FR Canzeri {tore his ACL RS his SO season to recover} was listed as the starter for spring practice
players that were gone before that 2012 season
4* RB Wegher would have been a senior
4* RB Coker run off by Mason would have been a JR
De'Andre Johnson a RB out of FLA kicked off the team
McCall left
Rogers who was moved to FB gave up FB because of health issues
Bullock who was a RB out of TX who was working out with WR's
these were added in the summer of 2012

4* RB Garmon left after 1 semester
Parade AA Hill tore his ACL during August practices left the summer of 2013 and went to UNI
Malloy would have come in on scholarship but got in trouble with the law, RS'd then had surgery on his foot to have 10 pins inserted in his foot. transferred to UNI in the summer of 2013.
2013 recruiting class these were added
Wadley 1st team All State in NJ
Parker
Daniels
Mitchell was recruited as a ATH

2014
Hilliard
Smith never made it due to grades

then Graham in the 2015 class

Joly and Mitchell were both moved to RB

they did recruit quality RB's just could not keep them healthy or around. hopefully this season will be different and the AIRBHG stays away

lack of a healthy running attack is what has hurt this team

MW was a FB even as limited as he was he did this his 1st season
UNI game gut his 1st time at RB and he had these for numbers 24 carries for 113 yards this same UNI Defense held Ball of Wisc. to 120 yards on 32 carries in their 26-21 loss.
the next game as a starter 27 carries for 217 yards. then against Minnesota he had 21 carries for 177 yards. against MSU he had 26 carries for 116 yards before suffering a high ankle sprain which ended up costing him 2 games,
nobody pissed and moaned and referred to him as a GDFB during that stretch in facr many were referring to him as the next Bell and were excited to see how he would turn out over the next 2 and a half years. after the injuries MW has been ridiculed, trashed and bashed repeatedly.

this upcoming season the team will go as far as the RB's take them. with MW teams did not respect him so they put 8 sometimes 9 men on the line of scrimmage, this because of injuries KF did not have anybody else to use.
Canzeri was hurt off and on, Daniels missed 8 games due to a injury.

players like Hill and Malloy had left 3 months before the season was to start and 4 months AFTER they had signed the new class, so there was no time to find replacements for those that left again KF had to use MW, again posters rip KF for not recruiting RB's when in fact he had.

The main thing this team has back is the head coach which spells doom if CJ gets hurt.

 

[Wingman137]

With Davis as OC, it really hasn't mattered who we have at RB. Iowa has gone away from a smash mouth power running team to a 3 yard out or 3 yard crossing pattern offense, IMO this is what has been hurting Iowa the last few years. We have no identity and have gone away from what has been our bread and butter. Powerful o-lines with good backs then throw in some play action.

is that why the 2014 team posted the 2nd highest total in offense under KF also looking back to that OB winning season IA under KOK managed a monstrous total of 1485 yards finishing 95th and that team avg'd a monstrous 114.2 ypg, IA has never been this team that avg's the kind of ypg you think you deserve.
the 2014 team ended up with 5200 yards and a 400 ypg avg something which under KOK happened just Twice.
some of you need to go back to playing your X-Boxes.

 

[Wingman137]

That's why vs Maryland we were down 4 points and W was averaging over 7 ypc and did not run the ball again.

KOK did the same thing so its not like GD is alone, and its the OC that calls the plays.

 

[hawkeyesports92]

That's why vs Maryland we were down 4 points and W was averaging over 7 ypc and did not run the ball again.

Our brilliant game plan was to run the ball with the win and use a qb with inadequate arm strength to throw the ball into the wind. We have witnessed grade school level coaching mistakes the last 2 decades.

For as much as the fanbase complained about O'Keefe I think everyone would agree that he was significantly better than Davis. Iowa is much better suited to be a power running team and we recruit better for that style of play. Davis doesn't have the athletes he did at Texas. His offensively philosophy simply doesn't work with the type of players Iowa gets.

 

[thawk1]

it takes healthy running backs to have a running game, and the AIRBHG has done to good of a job of not letting IA have a running game, this is why I started this post, Daniels provides the power back and Canzeri, Wadley and Parker gives IA the home run hitters,

Mitchell provide a combination of both with the ability to catch the ball as well this fall, at TX the RB's were a big part of the offense.

when TX won the NT TX gained 3574 yards rushing vs 3083 yards passing and GD was named AC coach of the year. but as cohawk pointed out IA does not get the talent that TX does BUT you people expect TX type of stats, and in his 3 years his offense has produced the 6th highest offensive total and the 2nd highest offensive total in the KF ERA. since GD has arrived the recruiting has been geared toward to getting TX type speed recruits,

Kilroy, do you realize what an invalid cherry you pick when you use the old "2nd highest offensive total in the KF ERA" when they weren't even in the top half nationally? Doesn't really say much does it?

 

[thawk1]

Kilroy, do you realize what an invalid cherry you pick when you use the old "2nd highest offensive total in the KF ERA" when they weren't even in the top half nationally? Doesn't really say much does it?

yeah it tells me that IA never was a high powered offensive team under KOK. it also tells me just how unreal the expectations of these people are.

Texas won the NT because of Vince Young. Give us a Vince Young and even the disaster combination of Ferentz/Davis would win 10 games.

 

[GarryO37]

Kilroy, why don't you look at where those early offenses ranked in the NCAA? If you actually take an honest look, you would notice that while our offense has gained more yards than ever before we still rank behind a lot more teams than ever before.

What would this tell you if you were a rational thinker? Our offense isn't evolving with the rest of college football.

Yes, defense wins championships. But you still need to have an effective offense to go with your great defense. Iowa's offensive has been nowhere near effective in the last 5 years. Adapt or die. Right now, Iowa is dying.

 

[thawk1]

that's thev whole point to many of you demand TX results with KOK type recruits. as the prior recruits were recruited with KOK offenses in mind. and for GD to put up the offensive numbers the last 2 years shows just how good he has done with the previous staff recruits.
going back to 2004 total offense output.

2004 3752 91st
2005 5189 25th previous the 2nd best offense
2006 4983 30th
2007 3792 110th
2008 4815 48th
2009 4372 81st the year IA won the RB
2010 4978 52nd
2011 4842 62nd
2012 GD's 1st season 3752 116th
2013 4901 78th
2014 5201 60th
since his 1st season the offense has been improving, now with his offensive recruits getting integrated I expect the offensive totals to improve. not to bad jumping from 116th to 60 in just his 3rd year with the prior staffs recruits.

remember you people constantly trash JR by calling him check down Jake.

Maybe GD should be out there busting his ass trying to get the recruits he needs to run "his" offense? He has been personally responsible for signing 1 player during his entire time at Iowa. That player walked onto the Texas Tech team last year-Nic Shimonek. I know he has "helped" guys like Kennedy(even though Kennedy spent 6 years as the ast RC at Texas and has recruited in the state for around 20 years), and he tried to help Coach Woods acquire some talent, but wouldn't you think a guy who knows what it takes to run his offense would be out there recruiting everywhere as much as legally possible to try and acquire this much needed talent? I like the potential of guys like Ogwo,Smith, and Falconer, but what has he personally brought to Iowa that will help THIS years team? What did he personally bring in that helped last year's team? How long do you think it should take for Davis to finally have the talent he needs? 5 years? 6 years?

how do you know that he isn't. do you have absolute proof that he isn't?

ps there are 8 other assistant coaches on the staff, Kennedy and White are recruiting the WR's and RB's, Wallace as well. the recruiting is not just a one man job. Top 100 TX WR Smith was the 2nd d step was getting 4* QB Weigers and Scheel in the 2014 class was the 1st step in improving the skill positions.

if you think GD was going to bring in TX type talent his 1st year or two. you and most of those on these boards were crazy.

 

[SigMaintHawk]

how do you know that he isn't. do you have absolute proof that he isn't?

He was /is recruiting(along with Coach Kennedy) a rb/ath named Tutt from Texas this year...He is usually the guy that stays behind since their is a limit on the amount of coaches that are allowed on the road at certain times. KF gave him this option. He recruits on the road when he feels like it.

The fact that you would defend Davis and try to convince Iowa fans he's a good OC basically shows that you are either really stupid or a relative of Greg Davis.

I never said I expected GD to bring in TX type talent. I do expect him to be capable of getting more than 1 player during his time at Iowa, though... Remember he is the one that stated Iowa needed better offensive skill talent...He knew this and did exactly what about it on the recruiting trail? Maybe that is too high of expectations for a guy with around 40 years of recruiting expirience, though.. Go ahead and provide us a list of all the players GD PERSONALLY went out on the road scouting/evaluating/and getting, that has helped Iowa, during his time at Iowa.... Again, how many years do you think it will take him to have the required talent to run his offense?

then what are you complaining about? WR coach Kennedy was hired from Colorado in 2013 after the that class was signed, GD was hired in 2012 after the 2012 class was signed and he had to rely on Soup to recruit the WR's. not too bad in Kennedy's 1st class to get WR Smith out of TX recruiting for IA.

Position coaches don't recruit individual positions. They recruit regions..Every coach recruits multiple positions.."Soup" recruits at wr? He recruited several positions for Iowa. Please tell me you understand this simple fact.... My complaint is the fact GD does exteremely limited amounts of recruiting and the results are obvious. If he wanted better recruits to help run his offense, he should have been out there doing the recruiting..Duh?

 

[SigMaintHawk]

Just for shits and grins...go ahead and look at the players the last OC brought in...Compare any 3 year period for him and compare that to what GD has accomplished..Both had the same option, given to them by KF, to recruit when they wanted to...Se ANY difference? LOL...

WR Jones out of TX who is now at Colorado state playing with his brother who also at one time comittered to IA but because academics was not allowed in, strange how that works, grades not good enough for IA but good enough for another D1 school in his 1st year. he in his 1st year took 1st year coach Woods into TX help Woods set up his own connections in that state, and show Woods what it took to recruit. Weigers was another that GD helped in recruiting,

WR recruiting is done by the WR COACH and the coach assigned to a region. every coach has their jobs to do.

GD
BF
Woods
were hired in time for the 2013 recruiting class
White
Reid
Kennedy
were hired in time for the 2014 recruiting class
Wallace was hired in time for the 2015 recruiting class.

to expect results like you demand was not going to happen, especially at IA where kids don't line waiting to get picked, like they do at TX or other schools with that name recognition.

 

[SigMaintHawk]

His offensively philosophy simply doesn't work with the type of players Iowa gets.

I remember when Mack Brown was looking for GD's replacement...He commented on how he wanted to get away from the "finesse" style offense and try to establish a tougher, more "power" based offense...Makes you wonder what KF was looking for when he decided GD's offense would be a good fit at Iowa.

 

[thawk1]

again you expect top recruits to suddenly line up knocking down IA doors down to get in. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IA does not nor has it EVER been a school that recruits on name alone.
take you over bloated expectations to the Arkansas board or better yet go follow Nebraska as you will fit in perfectly over there.

what was it Kaz said after joining their staff,
I can now recruit with the BIG N on my chest.

I already stated he tried to help Woods learn about recruiting in TX.. Could you try to pay attention? "Helping" is not the same as personally recruiting a player. Coach Parker was the key in acquiring Wiegers after he de committed from Rutgers. I asked you to provide a list of the players GD, PERSONALLY, went out on the road to scout/evaluate/ and sign during his time at Iowa...For the 3rd time, how long do you think it should take for GD to have the talent it requires to run his offense?

tell you what go rag on Joe Philbin as he is the one that talked KF into hiring GD in the 1st place.
he was brought in to turn IA's offense into more of a high powered offense to rack up more points and yards.

His offensively philosophy simply doesn't work with the type of players Iowa gets.

I remember when more than a few Hawk fans thought KOK was one of the worse OC in college football because of his outdated offense. The fans jumped on KOK when Drew Tate claimed that opposing defenses knew what play was coming. Then there was the complaining about Iowa never running a 2 minute offense and always huddling. The big difference between Davis and KOK is KOK had better skilled players to work with. Recruiting has been a problem but Ferentz is still running a pro style offense with a little spread thrown in.

more than the 1 year you have given him, this will be the 3rd recruiting class with GD offense in mind READ THAT SLOWLY
1st class was 2013
2nd class was 2014
2015 class was 2015
and we have yet to see how the 2014 class will do when they step foot on campus

2013 3 played as true FR the 13 played as RSFR in 2014
2014 another 3 played as true FR we will see how many will play as RSFR, try waiting till the start playing before you condemn him.

this years SR's were all signed by the previous staff. Daniels the co starter at RB was a 2013 recruit, maligned Vandeburg was a 2013 recruit and all he did was avg 18.5 ypc which led the team, and how do you know if GD did not play a role in getting TX top 100 WR Smith, or how about Ogwo a JR Olympic team sprinter, or WR Falconer out of FLA who because he played beside a WR that signed with a known passing school, had these for stats as a JR and SR.
JR season 55 catches for 714 yards and 5 TD's
then as a SR caught 2 fewer passes 53 passes for 951 yards and 7 TD's that a 237 yard increase. and they have yet to step foot on campus if they have not already

speed issues at RB has ben addressed Mitchell was lazer timed with a sub 4.5 40 was to be a WR bur at 6'1 213 lbs makes him a possible Gordon like RB for IA, Parker is the fastest player on the team, Wadley is the 2nd fastest player on the team, Daniels is just as fast and has big as Greene, all these were recruited during GD's 1st recruiting class.

 

[thawk1]

the tempo has picked up with more plays being run,. again you expect GD to do more with another's recruits.

ps how many of you blamed JR for not throwing the ball downfield enough and now say CJ will open it up by throwing downfield more, most of you blamed JR for IA's lack of offense, shouldn't you wait to see how the offense looks with CJ as the QB? also shouldn't you wait until IA has a full compliments of healthy RB? before you rag on GD any more.

a healthy running attack opens up the play action pass,

 

[SigMaintHawk]

First-Go look at the Colorado State roster...Se the Jones boys listed? Jyaz Jones is a defensive back at Kilgore Junior College..Don't know where AJ Jones fell down to..

How many years will it take for GD to acquire the required skill to run his offense? I've given GD 1 year to acquire the required skills it takes to run his offense? Maybe he should have adjusted his offense to the talent on hand? Isn't that what qaulity/effective coaches do? The square peg in a round hole approach GD has used looks to be working quite well. The offensive gameplan against an absolutely horrid ISU defense worked brilliantly last year. Amazingly, ISU was playing in Mark Mangino's first year as their OC..How on Earth could he come up with an effective gameplan against Iowa after only being with the team for a such a short period of time? How about that tremendous offensive gameplan/output against a mid tier Minny team? Absolutely brilliant game planning by the offensive coordinator in that game. Tenn had so many problems stopping the GD led offensive Juggernaut that is Iowa. How could they possibly play with so many backups, fresh and sophs and expect to outplay the master that is GD? How long had BJ's staff been at Tenn?

I can now recruit with the BIG N on my chest.

And Kaz brought in Collins and Valentine, 2 of the best DT's in the BIG! Must have helped..............

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Seriously how can anyone defend GD and his time at Iowa and call it successful. Oh wait I forgot it was Kilroy and his 20th username doing so. Has an excuse for everything Iowa fails to succeed in.

 

[thawk1]

the fact that Kaz did it Nebraska and not at IA should tell you something, and do you know that GD'S 1st Class doesn't have the talent you demand that he gets?

Parker SR/KR fastest player on the team
Wadley RB second fastest player on the team
Daniels co starter broke IA's short shuttle time
Willies quit
Mitchell now at RB after starting out at WR after coming in as a ATH
these were all brought in GD's 1st Recruiting class,
King was a member of GD's 1st recruiting class
Vandeburg lazer timed sub 4.5 40 faster than KMM, McNutt and Hinkle led the team in yards per catch at 18.5, a member of that 2013 class, played as a true FR, now how did that happen if GD's playbook was so complicated
Powell was a JUCO WR that was a 2013 recruit

now what more did you want him to do, bring in 5* WR's? when KOK NEVER DID.

 

[thawk1]

also the 2014 class had these for recruits, 4* QB Weiger and 4* ATH/WR Scheel. these after instate 4* WR Darbough who went to Michigan with Soup as IA's WR coach.

 

[GarryO37]

that's thev whole point to many of you demand TX results with KOK type recruits. as the prior recruits were recruited with KOK offenses in mind. and for GD to put up the offensive numbers the last 2 years shows just how good he has done with the previous staff recruits.

2013 4901 78th
2014 5201 60th
since his 1st season the offense has been improving, now with his offensive recruits getting integrated I expect the offensive totals to improve. not to bad jumping from 116th to 60 in just his 3rd year with the prior staffs recruits.

remember you people constantly trash JR by calling him check down Jake.

You just proved my point. Thank you.

5,000+ yards used to get you an in or around the top 25 ranked offense, now 5200 yards get you the 60th ranked offense. It proves that your offense isn't evolving with the rest of college football!

Again. Thank you.

Oh and whats "RB"? I hope it's not Rose Bowl.
