Yeah I said before I know theres attrition and they probably thought Proctor was gonna start but I'm tired of these projects we seem to take every other year. Recruiting is better than it was in 2000. If we cant get a 3/4* kid to commit I'd rather us just steal some MAC commits. I mean even NDSU has had a good run if OL in the NFL lately.
Completely agree I doubt he will do it. But Kirk just needs to stand back and say Have at it mister new o c build your offense
Thank you. People mistake "bad" for "soft." Offensive line is not purely a measure of toughness. I see a lot of uncoordinated OL play the last few years at Iowa. That doesn't mean they don't work hard in the offseason or aren't extremely tough. In my experience, offensive linemen can improve but I've never seen one go from bad to very good. I've seen guys fresh out of high school without the requisite strength or size get manhandled until they developed their college bodies, but I've never seen somebody with bad feet or a lack of athleticism suddenly develop good feet and become a very good college offensive lineman. In other words, I blame recruiting misses more than anything else for the state of the line.
Not trigger you moron, just waiting for you to explain how S&C coach impacted our line beyond the weight room. I get hard conditioning produces hard individuals. You can be a tough sob and still have crap technique. The entire defense and TE has produced plenty of draft picks, those positional coaches are getting results. Your Doyle argument is garbage. Positional coaching and recruiting is why the o-line sucks.
A close friend that worked in the athletic department, and was at every practice for several years, told me that Doyle did more than strength and conditioning. He spent a lot of time at practice working with the Oline. I don't know how much was technique related, but he helped prepare them mentally. I was told this while Doyle was still employed.
Regarding DeJong...while it may be true that he was never intended to be anything but a backup, doesn't excuse not 1, not 2, but 3 illegal procedure calls on him on Saturday.
Alt is up for the Outland is will be a top 15 pick and we’ve seen how good Proctor has become this year. Painful what Brian has done to this program
Don't forget the roles of Fossil Pappy, the OLine coach, and the Gift From Heaven in this offensive Offense debacle.
Alt has said he lost interest in Iowa when Doyle was let go. You can look it up. The info is out there.
WOnder if we held up signs with our account name if we could get donations?
I'm not disputing why he didn't go to Iowa. Just mentioning that the two guys were huge losses.
My girlfriend has gotten annoyed with how often I brought up the word SCHEME this year.
Michigan did a good job most of the time keeping Iowa pinned inside their own 30 to start drives…Iowa with 70 yds. in front of them is not going to scare a lot of teams.
No. It wasn't about $. It was about the current condition of the offense.
It sure did. He was equal opportunity hard ass. Some people can handle it and thrive, some people blame their failures on him. It worked out good for a long time... til the woke mob came after him. Employers have rules and Iowa football had rules. I guess not anymore, that's society today. The rhabdo deal was also an outlier. Those dudes who got sick didn't take care of themselves during the break before they came back or probably the night before. It is what it is.
So 21/22 personnel formations under center that result in 0 to negative yardage run plays doesn't enhance my argument against the scheme?
