You can’t be that dumb that this is the best Iowa recruiting can get??? ALL on the coaching staff.Your critiquing him when he had his 3 rd string QB, and receiving core? U can’t be that dmb?

It's one thing to be frustrated, but that doesn't give people carte blanche to say some of the dumbest shit I've ever read.I understand the frustration though.
It's hard to watch.
That is what we said this year as we had 4 of 5 starters back.Our OL will be better next year....
if memory serves, everyone was also very excited about the 'WR room' last Spring....lolThat is what we said this year as we had 4 of 5 starters back.
Yeah, FSU and OSU scored 2 field goals between them. They " delt " with it alright...All other teams deal with injures/opt-outs/transfers. Just look at today’s opponent: missing its starting QB, two leading rushers, starting defensive end, six defensive backs, two wide receivers, two linebackers, and an offensive lineman. And they still whipped the shit out of Iowa 35-0.
I wanna strangle the guy every time I see that.Says the poster who doesn’t know the difference between your and you’re…
Yeah, but the difference is that this is just another typical outing for the Iowa offense. Iowa didn't score a point in their last 10 quarters played.Yeah, FSU and OSU scored 2 field goals between them. They " delt " with it alright...
Is it March/April already? Stick to your wordHow do u know Cade won’t? What did he do when healthy last time u saw him? I’m curious? Bc I was there to see it. Jfc yall dmb!
How? Those starting now have 2-3 years of starting experience.Our OL will be better next year....
I seriously question if Iowa uses a juggs machine to give their wr’s reps or what. They don’t even need to make the great catch. Just catch the ones thrown right at ya.if memory serves, everyone was also very excited about the 'WR room' last Spring....lol
Damn your such a KF a$$ kisser.Your critiquing him when he had his 3 rd string QB, and receiving core? U can’t be that dmb?
1998 all over again.
Maybe not 1998, but it's not far off of December 31, 1997, the date of the Iowa Sun Bowl loss to ASU.No. I know it feels bad now, but the 2 situations are different

Hayden stubbornly started his injured senior to play the game, and the result was 3 1/2 quarters of sh!te on the offensive side of the ball.
The offense got a pulse when Reiners came in late and made some plays (sound familiar). We may have won the game if he'd have started.
About 11 months later, Iowa announced its new head coach.

Don’t forget those embarrassing non existent safetys ... and those soft DlinemenAbsolute coaching malfeasance by Kirk on the offensive side of ball. Just look at the recruiting and player “development” over the past three seasons and objectively ask yourself (1) where this staff has earned its paychecks and (2) which groups give you optimism going into next season:
Tight end group = one of the best in the nation and doesn’t get enough credit for blocking effectively
Running back group = meh. Some potential but Johnson wasn’t himself this year. Williams certainly had some bright moments this year.
Quarterbacks = worst in the country
Offensive line = worst in the country
Wide receivers = worst in the country

We weren’t a national joke in 1998.Yeah it’s worse now.
Fry admitted later he should have retired after that year.
Oh well. I cant be mad at him.
We showed zero improvement the entire season. We were dogcrap offensively from game 1 to 14. I have no faith Kirk has the answers for this.Yeah, but the difference is that this is just another typical outing for the Iowa offense. Iowa didn't score a point in their last 10 quarters played.
Are we suppose to take their word for it because I don’t believe a word they say with back ups based upon years of playing the wrong players in 25 plus years.Agree, the entire OLine could leave and no one would miss them.
Multi year starters that haven't improved, and in some cases, have regressed.
Imagine how pathetic the backups must be. And one portal guy that never saw the field.
Nor should you. The only hope is that by some miracle Cade comes back healthy and Kirk hires an OC with the latitude to make some changes. In lieu of both of those occurring, the Iowa offense will again be one of the worst in the nation.We showed zero improvement the entire season. We were dogcrap offensively from game 1 to 14. I have no faith Kirk has the answers for this.
Unfortunately it’s very difficult to find high quality OL men in the portal. Or at least one’s willing to come to Iowa.Yeah, the OL remains a huge problem. It needs to be blown up but there’s nobody better in the program. I highly doubt we can solve that problem via the portal. This year, Feth was average at best and Parker didn’t even play.
Highly ironic that our HC’s forte has become such a disaster.
What I think happens are guys like DeJong are taking schollies that could actually be used for younger players that could actually contribute.Are we suppose to take their word for it because I don’t believe a word they say with back ups based upon years of playing the wrong players in 25 plus years.

This line desperately needs just 1 ass kicker somewhere so they can shuffle around the next best 4 but unfortunately they don't have it. Once again I will say the last half of the year I thought our run game was more consistent with Elsbury on the field over Jones but it seems like this staff just desperately wants the Logan Jones project to work over actual production.The problem is, just like this year, KF will have very good feelings about the OL experience we have coming back and will be optimistic. There is no development of this line. We will likely have 3 and 4 year starters not get drafted. That says an awful lot.
If people are happy with 7-8-9 win seasons and occasionally 10 win seasons (which KF seems to) then not much will change. With no more divisions it will be harder for everyone to make the B1G championship.
Since the East vs West championship no B1G champ has been worse then 25th in OFF efficiency. If you look at all playoff teams since inception I only found 3 that were worse then 20th in OFF efficiency (worst was 42). Most teams DEF efficiency was top 30 as well. All offensives at all levels are changing to RPO or QBs that can move.
It takes a great offense and a good/ above avg defense to win championships. Iowa has the DEF they just need the OFF.
Your ratings are correct except for running backs. KalebJ was dinged some this year but if you put Kaleb, Leshon, or Jaz on teams with really good run blocking OLines and they would all be well above avg.Absolute coaching malfeasance by Kirk on the offensive side of ball.

Cade had the same problem as other recent qbs which is too much pressure in his face, anemic run game, so no real defensive bite on play action, weak and slower WR group.To be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed with Cade in the first place. It wasn’t like we were lighting anyone up when he was playing.
Enlighten us then, Frosty. Why is Iowa’s offense historically bad?This might be the dumbest thread ever posted on this website, which is certainly saying something.
Is no one else curious who our second string qb is/was if we were playing our 3rd string qb?Your critiquing him when he had his 3 rd string QB, and receiving core? U can’t be that dmb?
Lol, where did I say it wasn't?Enlighten us then, Frosty. Why is Iowa’s offense historically bad?
Agree, but he wasn’t healthy.To be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed with Cade in the first place. It wasn’t like we were lighting anyone up when he was playing.
Speaking strictly from a talent standpoint how many of Iowa’s offensive starters do you believe would start at a program like Wisconsin?Lol, where did I say it wasn't?
Calling the cupboards "bare" after a 10-4 season and comparing it to the end of the Fry era is still complete dumbshittery lol
I would say both Erick All and Luke Lachey would be the only guys to start at Wisconsin. Iowa has stud running backs but Wisconsin does too. Receivers, maybe Kaleb Brown, maybe. Oline and quarterback, no way.Speaking strictly from a talent standpoint how many of Iowa’s offensive starters do you believe would start at a program like Wisconsin?
Why has the offense performed so poorly the past three seasons? Is it scheme, injuries, coaching, lack of talent, players failing to execute, other? We probably disagree on the reasons, but I acknowledge you know more about football than I.
Ferentz is an average at best coach that was lucky enough to have Parker, and a program that gives life time contracts. He was exposed the last 3 years with our bad OLines. He somehow got the rep of being a good Oline coach but the proof says otherwise.Absolute coaching malfeasance by Kirk on the offensive side of ball.
