That's my theory. Iowa has dropped all of this NIL money to rebuild the offense. Why bring in someone else and allow them to succeed when Brian didn't have the same opportunity? It will only further the narrative that Brian was/is incompetent, while the new OC gets all the praise.

I also think the biggest issue is that Kirk (and Mary) doesn't want to send his son and grandchildren to the east coast when they currently live 10 minutes away. Kirk will do whatever he can to preserve that.

This is why nepotism sucks.

And why it's looking like I am going to be paying a dinner bet in the near future.

The only rumor of any substance that had Brian leaving was him following BOB to New England as a position coach. NE hasn't even made their OC hire yet.

Your arbitrary timeline is made up in your own head.

Lol. Bobby is the arbiter of rumor substance. How does that have any more "substance" than any other rumor?

You are dumb as hell. It has roughly a trillion times more substance than any other rumor involving Brian leaving. BOB has tried to hire Brian several times.

Brian could’ve demonstrated an ounce of pride by resigning immediately after the season. Whether or not he’s on staff at Iowa will have no impact on BOB hiring him as a TE coach.

Listen Bobby Bags of Sand(ers) - that's pure speculation. I don't think you understand what "substance" means.

Recent email from the Swarm guy said they believe they'll need 10 million dollars annually in NIL funds to be competitive

I was told that number is the initial (first couple years) target to stay competitive.
Subsequent years likely > $15M.
That’s to remain “Iowa”.

Barta is a 🤡 clown: like this is some sort of great deal. They are lowering the season ticket total by $10-$25 for this riveting home lineup of:
Utah State
Western Michigan
MSU
Purdue
Minnesota
Rutgers and
Illinois

Plus retaining Brian I’m sure

I'm following some sources that are tracking a private jet from Champaign to Iowa City. It made a stop in Davenport, where coincidentally perhaps, perhaps not, Bert bieliema was witnessed renting out an Old Country Buffett for him and his entourage.
Huge if true.

Iowa ticket pricing has been variable by game for years. This isn’t a decrease; its a product of a bad schedule rotation following a good schedule.

Pretty sure the last OCB in Davenport closed almost 15 years ago. W Kimberly maybe?

I'll give a little but, but there's no way it's sustainable for fans to foot that bill for a school like iowa while the AD continues to rake in all the money from tv deals

I will not give a cent to NIL. I’d rather spend it on self-medication to celebrate the highs and numb the lows of Iowa football and basketball.

Bert needs to get after it and bring that physique back. He would be a stud on the Iowa sideline looking like that. Fanny pack and all. Maybe the Lululemon bag.

Nepotism is rampant in politics too. It's very common for elected politicians to either put family members on their office payroll, or make sure they get a nice job in some other governmental agency.

You see, Rolo, he's not saying that Trump and Republicans are the only ones who do it, he's just saying that Trump is a stupid asshole.

Also one of the absolute worst offenders of the matter in question in modern history. But yes Rolo, both sides do it and it sucks.

God I love how often people do this without having a clue they’re not tactically invisible. You gotta think people are so god damned stupid to not stop yourself from writing that argument, but from top to bottom it always happens.

I don’t like this. Let me tell you about it!!!!

Okay, but how about this example?

How dare you single that out! It’s a great example, and I’m mad about that type of stuff, but how could you be so one-sided?!?!?
