No, I am not sold on Tate, but I also think it would be nice to have a proven QB coach, and Grubb much like Brian now, could do that.
Ryan Grubb, Iowa’s own
- Thread starter ClarindaA's
- Start date
Changing OCs is not going to do anything. We’ve been in this sinking ship for well over a decade. I know it’s easy to throw Brian under the bus, but our offense wasn’t much better under Greg Davis or Ken Okeefe.
Who else remembers the game in Kinnick when MSU’s punter out rushed our entire offense?

Yeah replace him with Budmayr this instant and watch the offense dominate. Gift from heaven!
Back for more stupid I see
I never once said he was worth a shit, but that is what you do if you fire Brian right now. Why don't you tell us more about your law degree.
Back in. This is a dumb idea and would yield no improvement. My original point which was difficult to comprehend.

Mid-season firing of Brian. Once again, if you fire Brian right now you have to replace him, so just to be 100% clear, you will need someone to step in right now if Brian is fired.
Kirk isn't sticking around if Brian got pushed out. No how. No way.
that is most certainly the perception I have as well, which is why I would announce right now that his contract is not being renewed to give Iowa more time hopefully to find a head coach, and possibly send Kirk out the way he deserves.
For the record I think Grubb would be a great hire.
Said this a few days ago in another thread. At this point he is the best option that may take the job. His contract is done next year. Problem is he is already likely on most radars for next HC across the county.
So, 2 mil year would need more, would be leaving a good job. he needs more money or HC job. I’m all for telling brain he’s done if we are out of the running for west championship in season… otherwise tell him his contract is not renewed after season. Force Kirks hand and give Grubb the OC job at 2.5+ million a year. But why would he take that? With the chance it hurts his ability to get a better job by having a crap offense at iowa?? Kirks got to retire before we get him. Maybe that’s 2025???

Only if they don't win the West and Brian gets pushed out. Him getting the boot is the only situation where Kirk leaves. He won't retire as long as he believes he can salvage Brian's career.
I disagree, but it's not like I'll ever convince anyone of that.
If KF is as greedy and selfish as most think he is, why would he walk away from millions just because sonny gets the boot?
I think the only reason BF is still here is because it's KF's last year.
Why just hire him? Why not Kalen Deboer and Grubb will follow.
BF is still at Iowa because it was his only decent option and his only avenue for salvaging his career. He knows that, but more importantly Kirk knows that. He loves his son and he doesn't need the money. It's a family business for the 2 of them. Kirk just wants them both to go out on a high note, but that's very unlikely at this point.
STOP LAYING DOWN MARKERS!!! People have said this for 3 straight years and the staff keeps taking it as a challenge!
You're opinion is popular and probably right. But I disagree.
I have three adult children that I love more than anything in the world. But, there is no scenario in which I would allow this situation to occur. He not salvaging his career, he is destroying it.
Yes, they want to go out on a high note and that seems unlikely. But I think 2023 is it anyway.
So, he is the associate head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Washington Huskies, correct?
Born in Kingsley, Iowa?
The #7 ranked Washington Huskies are 4-0.
When's the last time an Iowa offense put up 500 yards? Washington does it every game.
And look at what they did vs Michigan State.
Washington's Offense so far this Season:
..............................................................Total
.........................Passing...Rushing....Offense
Boise St, 56-19......490........78............568
Tulsa.......43-10.......454......109............563
Mich St...41-7..........536......177..............713
Cal..........59-32.......389......140.............529

So expect Iowa to cross the 200 yard barrier vs MSU. Maybe.
Washington has scored 199 points so far. Their drive to 325 is on cruise control.
Here's an interview with Grubb before their spring game. You can only get so much out of a 5 minute interview, but the feeling you get from this guy is that he's way more chill, just a night and day difference from any interviews with Brian.
Agreed! AD can fire who she wants correct? Start firing people around Kirk for poor performance and let’s see what happens. Either we hire new and better people or continue to fire people around him. Step one, OL and OC. I assume a good OC choice would have his own OL coach already picked and ready to go with him! Let’s go!
Fire BF! Kirk will walk & Goetz will be the GOAT!
Hell yes, a new OC will change everything. First we need to fire that damn KOK though! And then we need to fired that damn Greg Davis! And then we need to fire that damn Brian Ferentz!
