Guess we know who was really responsible for all the oline development for the last couple decades... besides a can't miss athlete in linderbaum, what olinemen has the staff developed since Doyle was sent packing?
No Doyle = No Oline
- Thread starter DeangeloVickers
- Start date
It’s more the mentality. Did you see how the OL folded after the All fumble? They were doing fine until then.
Doyle made them tough as nails, and Mentally strong as well. These guys dont have it because Doyle isnt there to give it to them. Go Woke Go Broke. Iowa is Broke
Doyle has no one to blame but himself.

Yeah good lord, this oline was going south before Doyle was removed. Iowa hasn’t been dominant on the oline for a long, long time now.
No its the pussy woke agenda.
True, but the attitude is different. No fire/MoJo.

Coaches that push you mentally, like old line drill sergeants, make you mentally tough. It is a FU, I will show you mentality. That has to be instilled.
Call it what you want. Its true.
Doyle was a HUGE loss to this program. A few years back KF even alluded to how important Doyle is/was to the program. It’s right in front of our eyes … the road grading Olines … and front hammers in the DLine … Yes… any strength coach can get a guy up to 300 pounds. We are seeing the effects of losing Doyle (and Polesak)… There is a reason why KF made him the highest paid SC in the country … Can’t ignore the turning point of how things have gone south without Doyle and Polesak
I think kids used to respond better to coaches like Doyle, I certainly did. Over time that method just wasn't acceptable and kids won't accept it.
I do think it is a reason we aren't different up front anymore but there's no going back to that in 2023.

Tired of this excuse.
Chris Doyle didn’t help guys completely MISS assignments and whiff on defenders.
We have zero talent on the line and they have NOT improved.

Hmmm I guess the only way to have a serviceable O-line at Iowa is to have a racist POS strength coach.
Hmmm … so tell me … exactly … what Doyle did that makes him a racist? Give me SPECIFIC examples… tell me what was proven as racist.
Doyle made these guys better all around … we aren’t recruiting less talent … we don’t have Doyle and Polesak to make them better…
There is talent on the line and if you don’t think Doyle was a major loss (and Polesak) then you are missing the boat…
Then it’s on Kirk find a better coach. Doyle isn’t coming back. Get over it.
Wait … you called Doyle a “POS racist.” Where are your SPECIFIC proven examples that made him racist.
Did I ask for Doyle to come back. I pointed out losing he and Polesak were major blows… it’s conversation …
This take is just as lazy as the opposite “go woke go broke” takes…
Everybody was calling for Polesak to be fired when he was here too
Except he wasn't racist nor ever proven to be racist. Get over it!
Somehow the new strength stuff works with DL, LB, DB, and TE, but not with OL.
I guess you're pointing at the March 2021 hire of George Barnett as OL coach? I agree that is the most likely culprit.
Did Doyle not work with the Defense? Because they haven't skipped a beat after him being gone.
The difference is Phil Parker is fantastic at his job and Brian Ferentz sucks shit at his job.
They are flat out poorly coached and consistently out of position/missing assignments.

People who use the word “woke” in conversation got C+ grade in high school and blame the world for their car shop on the corner not taking off.
What I don’t understand is how all these teams across the country are able to have good offensive lines without Chris Doyle coaching them. 🤷🏻♂️
Disagree. Guys like Richman Colby and Jones blossomed into nfl linemen when Doyle was here. We weren't landing a bunch of 5 stars every year then either. I actually think he was far better working on strength and agility with our OL DL than any other positions, and other positions actually seem to have improved since he left. But not the trenches.
