I agree with this. unless the suit gets settled then there is a chance he could find a job but until then, no---if a nfl team tried to take him now he would get the same treatment Doyle got and I do not think any team will think he is worth that fight.
This sums up what most of us think
- Thread starter JerseyCityHawki
- Start date
agree here as well--it is amazing how many times other d linemen give our guys a fake and then blow right by them and we do not even touch them.
We have also seen these delayed blitzes the last 2 weeks where the backer sits until the center and guard double down and then they blow right into the backfield. I think we will see other teams doing this to us a lot once they see the film.
Almost seems our guys are trying to process so much they are paralyzed--
We were sacked 5 times and actually out rushed Ohio State. 6 different players caught balls. The Taylor sneak was a trick play everyone in the B1G knew was coming sooner or later, we just chose to use it from our 25 yard line instead of the 50.
The scheme was workable if the players executed. It was loud at field level and a lot of young pups and first timers in that environment.
Yesterday’s problem was this:
6 turnovers
I’ll say it again:
6 turnovers
Wisconsin has been destroying Iowa for years with delayed blitzes, even back when BF was O-line coach.
I feel dirty giving a like to this statement, but I do agree with it. BF will be OC next year.
The Iowa game at Wisconsin after the OSU blowout had to be one of the most embarrassing/pitiful offensive
performances of all time but with KF, there are a lot of pitiful offensive games to choose from.
KF has never bought into fact that in today's college game, you need a mobile QB and you have to be willing to run him..All these Read-Pass-Option offenses start with premise that your QB might take off on a designed run or beat the blitz/pass rush with his feet and make a big play downfield.
Bingo. Kirk Ferentz is a dim witted man when it comes to quite a few things but he's wise enough to not cross Mary on this one. She has stated in interviews how important having the grandkids nearby is to her.....at this point that is much more important to the Ferentz family than anything involving the football program that has given them generational wealth. At this point we are all just pawns in their plan to extract as much money from the University as they possibly can. Thanks, Gary
but these turnovers are becoming more prevalent the longer BF is OC--plus all but two of the TO were self inflicted by our poor play by QB(2 INT where he threw it right to them) both QB fumbles were weak---the deflected pass was bad luck but if AP was not getting trucked he might have threw if more accurately--
also--just because you play a lot as a soph does not mean you will improve in your jr or sen years--I see a few more issues with the OL than just being green....
we are becoming ISU---letting punts hit on the 12 and roll to the 1---fielding punts at the 6 when there is only 1 opposing player in front of you---dropping snaps--dropping passes--it is a comedy of errors.
the Taylor play was not called--it was a read and he read it right--they closed faster than he was ready for plus we had a guy right there if he would just have blocked the dude,,,,,this play was what I call a 7th TO.
If you've ever played anything outside your back yard, you would realize that, if the wheels continue to come off, nobody will be longing for this season to end more than the players themselves. No, they may never admit that publicly, but those of us who have played on teams like this version of the Hawkeyes know that you can't keep fooling yourself forever. Eventually reality can no longer be ignored.
Understood and mostly agree, but when Kirk says they need to “clean a few things up,” he’s not wrong. But, it is exactly his job to make sure those things are cleaned up and they aren’t. He allowed attrition to happen with the O-Line and not utilize the transfer portal. He allowed a MAJOR talent and experience gap to occur at WR (assumes KJ is transferring and injury is not the issue) and again, no portal consideration. Arland Bruce is going to get abused more and he may decide it’s not worth it for so few touches. Kirk is allowing these personnel gaps to form and that is 100% on him for ultimate responsibility. I am still in the camp that KF and BF are our best bets for staff but I think Barta needs to demand use of the portal while it’s available and relax a bit on their “developmental program mentality” in favor of a “just win baby” mentality.
ok, so you should ”want” your team to lose. that is what was said in the post I quoted. you are right, I would never admit I just wanted to go through the motions and get the season over with. there is ALWAYS the desired and wanted compition every day and every game. maybe your attitude helped foster your teams play and performance.
It's not about just trying to be anything other than the worst........I think its past time to f***ing get this position right. Not just "try" this guy or that guy.
And Budmayr is not the answer.
Well, being something other than better than the worst is the literal first step in improvement. We need to improve right now. Even with some learning pains I cannot see how Joe could be worse than P or P. Will he get flustered and throw mindless interceptions, cuz we already have that? Will he stand like Thomas Jefferson in the Jefferson Memorial as defenders run straight at him, cuz we already have that. Catastrophic fumbles, check. Missing wide open receivers, check.
We're tossing interceptions and losing fumbles deep in our own side of the ball. What could they do worse.
Again, could Budmayr do worse? Not saying this is a long-term solution but it shows the world we are not impervious to change when necessary. It shows the young guys that we are looking to better times ahead. Change now shows a lot.
Then you don't hire him. You find the right guy for the job.
And let's be clear. Unless the team starts quitting on the staff, a coaching change will not happen in-season.
I don't want another experiment for the next OC, especially one that served as an "analyst" prior to the season where said offense got worse..........................just sayin.
