We saw how good He was his freshman year, couple of fumbles and he was gone. Difference between Swinney, Saban, Meyer ,etc.. and Ferentz.
Ferentz is too set in his ways.
The fact that wadley

Ferentz is too set in his ways.
KF has AW return kicks. AW gets hurt in isu game and we go 5-7.
I bet in that scenario you tell us how stupid KF is.....
we will miss wadley but he cant play college forever. the 2 youngsters will be good next year and great the last 2 years.
AW could get hurt in any game at RB.
Should we not play him at RB? He might get hurt!!!!!
Yeah, because on most running plays, the guys tackling him get 50+ yards to build momentum......
Not only that but the huge "coach critics" were some of the most vocal that it would be stupid for the coaches to play him on KR all the time.
We have to have some of the stupidest most hypocritical fans on the planet....and I would know I've been on 50+ other boards. A lot of idiots out there all second-guessing the coaches.
This is 100 percent untrue and they talk every year about eliminating kick off's completely, just to prove how ridiculous this thought is.
A DT crashing down the line of scrimmage, into the side of Wadley's knee, as he's cutting through a hole, is more likely to cause a serious injury. IMO.
Well let's keep in mind Mitchell didn't play at Texas Tech either, his new team. In fact even more mysterious than that he went down there and for some reason another went home. Debatable on whether that was his decision or the coaching staff.
The truth is more often than not and by more often I mean 999 times out of 1000 our coaching staff ends up looking righteous in these matters no matter what the Internet critic might want to claim.

So, 997.
QB doesn’t seem to be a strong suit of this regime.
Hmmmm I have to be honest I don't know that I've ever heard KF say that.
He was getting too gassed returning kicks. It was affecting his ability to carry the ball on the subsequent possession. He also wasn't that effective. Then Butler got hurt. Kirk was absolutely right to not keep him back there. He was also right to put him back there in the bowl game, to let him showcase himself and put some $$$ in the ol' draft bank.
And when he gets hurt in game #2 you would have said, "what the F was Ferentz thinking having him return kicks".
Or KF told him its his final game and let him choose!
Just like he let CJ stay in last bowl.
Do you think he gives CJ a choice to stay in if that is game 5 of the season?
Oh… Am I so thankful you brought them up… You are a classic example of somebody that gouges their eyes out and cuts their ears off so they don't have to hear lucid arguments. Once JR went to the NFL the CJB argument lost all credibility.
The Banks thing has been run down on this very board by 100 different posters 1000 times... he made plenty of pretty significant mistakes in his junior year and really didn't start cooking until three or four games into the season.
Stanzi I will give you but even that takes a blind wombat to not admit Ricky had huge ball security issues and they likely were even worse in practice so it's no wonder the coaches struggled to make that call.
I, unlike you, have watched enough Great football coaches struggle with similar decisions to know, KF doesn't deserve the vitriol that you clowns pass on to him.
But hey it's an anonymous message board it goes with the territory. We make fun of those kind of fans all season long at work.
fair catch>TO
ISM needs to show he can catch the ball consistently.....
Lots of inconsistent hands on the team, that is for sure....
I'd like to tell you it surprises me how stupid people are but all you have to do is look at the comment boards on pretty much every article ever written... those of the same people on here complaining about their football coaches
Oh sorry. I have a handful of these douchebags on ignore so I didn't see the post you were responding to.
The reason for this is because of wedge blockers and wedge busters. I love how you degrade everyone about how little they know about football but dont know the majority of injuries on kickoffs are these people. If they want to get rid of them, fine. But don't give me this "we cant let someone return kicks because they MIGHT get hurt." Its a garbage argument.
Too gassed from kick returns @dbrocket98?? Holy hell. You've got to be kidding me! We consistently play 2,3,4 running backs a game, and you're telling me it's gonna gas him because he returns a few kicks?? Garbage excuses to defend stupidity
And you thinking a kick returner is more likely to get injured than a running back is idiocy.
