Marco Lainez leaving.
- Thread starter Easthawk1062
- Start date
Marco moved to a place better suited to his talents. It was a good move for both parties.
The miss is yet again on the coaches evaluating him.
The failing upward of Brian under Kirk is less surprising than that of Budmayr. How does someone who is not family continue to have miss after miss and yet is not only still employed here but gets promoted!?

Lainez was on O'keefe, I don't think Budmayr had anything to do with it, other than development.
So he only failed at development on this one, not up front recruitment evaluation. Fair enough.
Point still stands.
Honestly, I didn't think it would get worse than Copeland, but it certainly has.
He has three years of eligibility remaining, so a transfer to FCS Elon, with a chance to actually see the field, is probably a smart move fire him.
I knew he was a problem as soon as he came from Wisconsin.
Never trust a Badger. F***ing raccoon-faced ferrets.
I agree. If he still holds out any hope of playing at the next level, or even P4, the only chance he has is to go somewhere where he can play and then potentially hit the portal at a later date.
no you wouldn't. it's been known for a couple of years he wasnt a P5 QB. not even close.
not sure how anyone would know, his scramble ability was more than solid, and he looked to be developing in the spring games. Although arm strength on out throws did appear to lack a bit.
people know. They have contacts within the program. The beat writers were reporting last year that he would never play at Iowa barring a catastrophe. He did not have the talent to play at a major conference level. Confirmed by his landing spot.
This isn't a "didn't get the opportunity" thing. trust me. wish the kid luck and move on.
I don't trust anyone even with connections to make claims about QBs in this program. Kid was a RS freshman, and were it not for an injury he would have played this year.
A beautiful school in North Carolina.
Billy Taylor is the head BB coach. He was an assistant at Iowa and left in 2022.
I think that what it comes down to is that now he's at a level and program much closer to his current abilities (mediocre to lower level FCS).
He can move up, down or stay the same.
Frankly, I'll forget about him shortly.
So God forbid good coaching creates a play scheme that optimizes the players skill set vs trying to make a player fit the scheme when it’s obvious the two scenarios will not meld. If I’m a QB I’m terrified of a team and coach (Chicago bears come to mind) that cannot pivot to maximize my skills! Idiotic!!
