I'm sure @douglasbader will come back like a tornado and create all kids of diversion from the fact that he's perpetuated the spread of misleading info. I'm sure his latest stalker story will be good too.

Keeps getting pushed back because Kirk is building anticipation

Maybe there are more NFL coaches to be available in the next week. Look at me finding the bright side!

He will be back to tell uswhy it’s actually good Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz is the OC, and we are stupid IowaFan for wanting him gone. And he will have legitimately convinced himself that it’s true.

Someone create a Rob Thein alt and see if that does the trick.

Kind of giving it short shrift. That same line you are referencing was lightly-recruited garbage just two years prior. And I'm hard pressed to think of an Iowa OL better than the '02 OL.

Well, I'm not saying Joe didn't do an outstanding job. But he was (shockingly!) criticized for two years when he didn't have the horses. The genius of 2002 wasn't a dummy two years before. I maintain Reese Morgan or 2012 Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz would have had the same success in 2002.

Porter, Steinbach and Lightfoot were well regarded recruits. Steinbach had to gain 60 pounds, of course. Gallery was pretty unknown, but he was always going to be a physical freak. Nelson was always a good player; he just had to gain 75 pounds.

Morgan was ripped pretty good on Rivals his first couple of years. He had committed the unpardonable sin of losing four veteran starters, in addition to his line playing with a much lesser skill group. Later on Brian was ripped (nepotism!) when he had the misfortune of taking over when the offensive personnel was bad and he lost his best player and another starter.

 

[CamelTones]

Wasn’t Steinbach a walkon?

 

[Gushawk]

I can’t tell whether Chip is white knighting Brian’s tenure as OC or something else

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Wasn’t Steinbach a walkon?

No. Pretty highly regarded TE recruit (similar to Gallery)

Nelson was a walk-on.

Sobieski was actually the highest touted as recruit but missed two full years w/ injury.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Wasn’t Steinbach a walkon?

no. He could have gone anywhere in the Midwest

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I am getting fucking worked tonight

 

[BuffettHawk]

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, Wade. Stay in the fight.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

thanks. Appreciate it, despite your complete lack of understanding of basic mathematical concepts.

I think it’s more “coaching is a crapshoot to a certain extent.” So making Philbin some sort of savant is incorrect. There’s a mix of “right place right time” and “coaching skill”

 

[ChipHilton]

Just touting the supremacy of Jimmies and Joes in the hierarchy of reasons for seasons.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

I think some were speculating that he would be the next OC

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’ll pass

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I’ll pass

Is it Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz?

If no, I want him.

 

[KitKatApples]

I’ll pass

Out of the shotgun 89% of the time

 

[Shawneemicks]

Is it Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz?

If no, I want him.

I get it but he’s also well known for his complete lack of QB development

 

[MisterFalcon]

I get it but he’s also well known for his complete lack of QB development

Checks notes -- Oh, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz is Iowa's current quarterbacks coach.

Lest we forget how horrible Iowa's offense was in 2022, they were 130 of 131 teams at 251 yards per game. Miami was 86th at 367 yards per game. My guess is Josh Gattis is superior to what we'll end up with at Iowa.

[Hawkstrat]

Better than the absolute worst is a low bar.

Just touting the supremacy of Jimmies and Joes in the hierarchy of reasons for seasons.

sure, but at this point Brian the Failure has plenty of responsibility for that as well

 

[KitKatApples]

Well, guess where we're at

 

[Gushawk]

I sense the types of players I'd like to watch would be more interested in playing for Josh than Brian. By a wide margin.

 

[Kamala]

I don’t want anybody who is going to make Kirk think “yep, now we can do it exactly the same way we did it in 2002”.

 

[wondergrape]

Not going to lie, I have been confusing Josh Gattis with Adam Gettis throughout this entire process.

Things make more sense after a little investigation.

 

[Alan Lomax]

I'm just shocked other teams are making coaching changes this late in January.

Garta is gonna stand by and let Kurt fuck us right in the ass, boyz.

Is that a problem?

Black, mobile QB??

 

[Hawkeye_Pierce]

The 'lack of talent' thing rings a little hollow. Sure, an injury can fuck things up and is outside of a coach's control but if there's a talent deficit, that's an issue with recruiting and development. Oh, and talent evaluation. These dumb twats didn't see any issue with Spencer. In fact, they thought he was terrific. Just needed clean up a few things.

I was willing to give Brian a long leash but running it back with Spencer was an unforgivable, fireable offense

FWIW — Kakert said on @tcondon show yesterday that the lawsuit is playing a factor in all of this.

Lol using the lawsuit as a reason to keep Brian's Czech regular.

 

[KitKatApples]

Well in that case
