Tim Lester Comments as Iowa OC
- Thread starter Drinkin Buddy
- Start date
Hayden was fired by SMU .......
I remember all the hyping of Maryland QB Toogabooga before the game, and then the defense making him look like a fool.
This a billion times
It made no sense. Momentum is established and the OL seems to be clicking with their run blocking……then it’s complete upside down world with the empty set
Hey we just ran it down your throats and have you reeling….we’re sorry!!! Here’s a breather knowing we are gonna throw a ****ing 3 yard out pass and our OL now have to reverse their energy to try and block for a guy who cannot move
We got up to #2 at one point that season
Why should Lester be held to a different standard than his own son was?
That's just motion. WR Motion can be an indicator of zone or man. I'm specifically talking about the formation they ran the jet sweep out of. If you're an offense that utilizes the jet sweep, you should have plays that work off of that. If your coaching is so bad that your timing is to the point where the motion man is so far beyond the QB that they can't get the football in that formation, then you have no scheme.
Iowa has had no scheme under BF, it just felt like random play calling.
How is he going to be HOF? He does not qualify today. Unless you are saying he will win enough from a percentage standpoint to push him over. But for now he does not qualify.
Don’t get me wrong I would love to see him make it but he’s not there yet and recently we are getting beat up by the good teams on our schedule.
Hayden Fry was inducted into the CFB HOF with a .564 career winning percentage.
Not saying Kirk will get in if he's under the modern threshold of .600, but it's been done before.
Obviously, Hayden had a much richer history than Kirk himself can point to.
Um, yeah I’m nearly positive he gets in. Someone in one of these threads said that the threshold was 60% winning percentage. I’m pretty sure he’s right on the brink of that now. It’s definitely going to be more difficult but we usually play 2 tomato cans and Iowa St in the non con.
Edit: He’ll no, we didn’t deserve to get in. The Big Ten West is just weak, tallest midget type of thing…
Not with you on the beer thing. My son likes peppermint my daughter doesn't. Not sure I can get much insight from it.

Lester should feel giddy like a kid in a candy shop. He's making some good coin here at Iowa and they're handing him the keys to a Ferrari telling him to take it out on the track for a spin.
I expect big things moving forward.

More like giving him the keys to a 2004 Chevy Caprice and telling him it needs a new engine, transmission and it only has an AM radio, needs a converter...
too harsh. lester’s gotten keys to a capable camaro previously owned by a little old lady who let the tires deteriorate via disuse

Looking at the stats for just that game, one could have mistakenly confused Spencer Petras for an actually decent P5 QB.
Because there are so many here
Because there are so many here that feed on it.
Good deflection. Wasn't talking about a lot of points scored and blowout at all.
“I think a 50-50 split is the goal,” Lester, who will turn 47 this week, said. “But … I’ve been calling games since I got out of playing. I’ve called games with 70 passes, and I’ve called games with 70 runs. So you really have to be able to adjust. The plan is always 50-50."
I like the fact that he recognizes that you have to be able to adjust in-game, as opposed to continuously trying to pound a square peg into a round hole even if it isn't working.
How many times over the last few years did you hear a commentator say about Iowa during the game: "They know who they are". I've always found that annoying in a certain way, because that comes across as "This is what we're going to do, hell or high water", or even worse, "This is all that we CAN do".

Why do we have the only coach on the face of the earth that views moving the ball offensively as a drawback to winning? I mean if you really break down his comments and thought process. That's exactly what he's saying. That's insane!
Can now confirm Brian Ferentz to Washington as DB's coach.
True, but you have to admit that people probably would have felt better about the hire if he was a hot/highly sought after coach….by all accounts he was not. Now, if it came down to our budget-then there may be some truth to that.😎
