Nevada is probably the least talented team Iowa will play in 2022. I think there's a chance that after the season Brian Ferentz takes a job at a G5 or other school.
The only thing is that if Brian moves on, grandma & grandpa won’t be able to see the grandkids as often (if Brian has kids).
I think the frustration is that the offense had a debacle season last year, and this year is starting even worse. It’s understandable that no offensive staff changes were made, but I don’t understand not getting offensive lineman, receivers, and quarterbacks in the portal or juco. Nebraska brought in seven guys in those spots, including their stud qb from Texas and stud receiver from LSU.
Petras better develop a bit better “aim” then because when plays actually develop he airmails it to the stands. We will see….I hope they do get better but they seem so inept now it may be too late for this season…
No one game? Have you watched Iowa’s offense since he took over? It’s been awful, and now resides at the bottom of the nation. You sound like Kirk, don’t quite have the body of work yet to make a change lol. Yeah let’s give the idiot some more time to learn on the job. Brilliant
Just to get to 90th place, the offense would have to improve its average to 360 yds/game from around 160 yds/game. To make up for the bad start Iowa would have to average just over 400 yds/game for the rest of the season, including conference games against tough defenses of WI and Michigan...There's just no statistical way to get there.
You may want to use a better example than Nebraska if you want to support your premise. Michigan State last year would be a good choice
I assume sarcasm, because there's almost 0 chance that the offensive rank will improve playing OSU, Mich., Minnesota and Wisconsin while the early-season co-bottom-feeders stop playing the big universities for paychecks and start playing competition at their own levels in conference play.
I'm really confused. Why wouldn't winning 0 Big Ten games be considered "cause" when firing a coach for buyout purposes? Or hiring your son against university nepotism policies?
No!Been a fan since 1964 and have been a huge Kirk Ferentz through the years. That said, these first two weeks are about as ugly as I've seen it. Do you think a low scoring loss to Nevada forces Kirk Ferentz to fire his son/OC? If not what will it take? Is Kirk on the hot seat, and will he get the ax if Iowa goes winless (or has 2 or fewer wins) in B10 play, which I think based on the first two games is a real possibility? Hate seeing our FB team look this bad!
Why? Nebraska’s offense has scored 28, 38, and 42 points through three games. Iowa is averaging 5 points a game. Palmer and Thompson have been great for them.
Problem is this isn't a one time thing where we finish offensely last year and the year before.
I don't think BF will be fired mid-season, either, but don't pretend that we're dealing with a problem that's been going on for only a few games. We're witnessing a multi-year decline coming to a head.
That's a very bold prediction. Right now, the #95 offense is averaging 361.5 ypg. Iowa's offense has been so bad the first two games that they would need to average 402.2 ypg over the next ten games to make that happen.
Not only that be we will be seeing much better defenses. I hope we do not very likely
