Miller and Condon confirm it's Petras at QB on Saturday
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
He's not going to come back. I think he wants this over as much as anyone....
Look, you are all missing the point here...
Large lunch, start drinking heavily at 3, and make sure you're college drunk at 6 (I'm talking kissing a farm animal drunk), then each overthrown gem and balls in the dirt will be comical instead of heart breaking.
By mid 3rd quarter, you'll be passed out and on the verge of divorce or no friends.......see ya on Saturday!

This.
We don't need an all conference QB with our Defense. Move the chains when we need it and get points
Cash is king and they don’t need donor cash. Tv money is neutering booster influence
well you can beat your head on the concrete for about the next 4 or 5 years. It will have about the same impact.
Big boosters still matter. Those million dollar donations still matter, but you regular peasant ticket holders don't matter nearly as much.
I am seriously starting to wonder if Spencer grew up playing on fields that didn't have a crown in the middle.
Good try. There is no crown at kinnick or any field turf field. SP jus isn’t very accurate right now. Has the yips
I think if we learned anything it’s that Kirk very clearly is overriding at least some of the offensive coaches on Petras. To blame everything on the coaches is silly. There’s more than enough blame to go around.
Um no. Frustrated as hell, but saying he should be fired is dumb.
Yeah, while I would hope he doesn’t stay too long as is usually the case, I’m not on the Kirk must go bandwagon. Winning 10 games what, 3/5 years and not winning fewer than 8 games since 2012 as well as a string of strong recruiting classes including a top 15 one currently doesn’t support the argument that he’s lost it.
I think he’s absolutely wrong on sticking with Petras and I think an offensive overhaul after this season is long overdue. The man still knows football however.
Petras admitted he's having throwing issues because he doesn't have the footwork down.
Petras is an awesome guy and person. When we boo it is the pathetic coaching staff of KF and BF
It is the combination of marching out the lowest rated QB in Div I, having the lowest ranked offense in Div I, and the hiring/keeping of the total failure of a coach that was ONLY hired because he is coach's son. It is the combo package.

No, Brian wasn’t hired solely because he’s the coach’s son. Thin, but he had a decent resume when hired.
Also, it’s quite clear between Kirks comments and what Brian said last week that there’s a disconnect over the QB position.
Brian certainly deserves his share of criticism as a struggling OC; but yesterday laid plain to me that to a larger extent than I thought, Kirk is dictating what the offense does. And we know from the Jake/Stanzi battle 14 years ago that KoK pushed for Stanzi to start for months over JC, and it took a string of bad performances before Kirk finally conceded. I honesty think we’re looking at something similar here.
Yep, Kirk is the architect and godfather of Iowa football and offense. It doesn't really matter if it's Greg Davis, KoK, Brian or Steve Sarkisian, the plays that are called are meant to appease Kirk and there are handcuffs on the O-coord. I can't really get mad at the play calls since we are severely hamstrung there and painfully obvious whose in charge.
He had zilch experience as an OC and a QB coach. He was even an offensive lineman by experience. You will never convince over 5% of fellow posters on here that Brian was fully qualified to be an OC or QB coach. IT WAS HIS DADDY that tipped the scale - nepotism at its finest.
Of course his dad being the HC tipped the scale, but he’d been coaching in the nfl, did so again at Iowa, had a successful run as the running game coordinator…again, not the fullest resume but you said wasn’t at all qualified, and that’s not true.
If being a former qb or coaching quarterbacks is your key qualification, quite honestly you’d be surprised at how many coaches out there lack that on their resume prior to being OC.
I think a QB coach ought to know how to coach qb's. That comes from actually having learned the details of being a qb. You can't coach qb if you don't know the mechanics. BTW, the proof is in the pudding and offensively, Iowa has SUCKED the ENTIRE Brian "the golden son" era.
You don’t think that Brian hasn’t been speaking to KOK, other offensive coaches out there about proper mechanics for QBs so that he can help with that? I question Brian for a lot of things but not his fb IQ. I don’t doubt for a second that he knows a few things about proper mechanics. Of course, there’s also the matter of being able to carve out enough time to work on that, which again limited time after practices, film study etc. it’s another reason QBs often go to off-season camps and such to hone their fundamentals, simply not enough time for their college coaches to work with them one on one like I promise most coaches would like to.
And btw, KOK never played qb, he seemed to pick up a few things over the years as well.
JFC. This is his 5th year as a college QB. If he doesn't have basic footwork down to a science by now, it ain't happening. WTF has he been doing at all these instructional camps other than showing off how far he can throw it? He just came out and admitted he's not cut out for the job. Next man in, please....
Going to go talk to KOK? Yeah, that would be solid. How many QB's has KOK in the NFL with significant snaps? Not so good.
Again, proof is in the pudding. What Brian is responsible for SUCKS.
Do you see me defending him?
I gave him a pass after ‘20 due to the sheer chaos of that offseason during the pandemic. When Petra’s was named the starter this year I’d hoped that it was because he’d taken that step forward. He hasn’t.
