As opposed to when the fans get a say? 😏
Look, there’s a lot of stupid narratives out there about Kirk and his motivation (or lack thereof) to make winning decisions, but the bottom line is the offense is trash for a lot of reasons. And while I believe Kirk is motivated to improve the offense, I don’t think he has the know-how. On top of that, Iowa has too many kids on the OL pressed in to duty because of past recruiting failures and evidently has no one on the bench who can elevate the quarterback position from absolute trash to at least below average.
The point? Even if Kirk wanted to right now, there’s really nothing he can do to bring about meaningful change to the offense. That time was the offseason, and instead of hitting the portal or bringing in an actual quarterback coach or demoting Brian to OL coach and bringing in a real OC, Kirk did nothing. Whether it was due to arrogance, stubbornness, cluelessness, or some combination of the three is anyone’s guess, but the bottom line is Kirk knew the offense was bad and he chose to do nothing outside of BAU.
The results speak for themselves.
