**22/23 Transfer Portal Thread**

[Gushawk]

Bob’s a big believer in the causal power of fan narrative.

I’m a big believer in the causal power of the dumbfuckery and unlikeability of Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz.

 

[The Dad]

Bob the Boo Shamer.

 

[Soda Popinski]

I don't have warm fuzzies about any of this.

 

[Debit One]

I, for one, am really looking forward to watching Iowa football sans wide receivers. They seem rather unnecessary anyway.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Bob the Boo Shamer.

I was 100% supportive of booing Spencer/Brian at games this year

I am 100% opposed to thoughtless negativity about the future

 

[Gushawk]

LOL at thoughtless. I’ll be thrilled if we actually replace this shithead with a qualified OC with a decent resume. Seems that possibility is fading with each passing day and piece of news, and the chance to sell a bright and significantly different offensive future to players is fading with it.

Everyone needs to relax. Fran will eventually get a transfer big from the portal.

I don't give a fuck what anything seems like to you. Eat a dick you negative fuck.

If Brian is still the OC on February 1st you have my full permission to complain to your heart's content.

 

[Gushawk]

Do I also have your permission to complain if it is the demonstrably unqualified Jon Budamyr, Mr Positivity officer?

 

[The Dad]

[Dolomitey]

Lulz

 

[Gushawk]

When asked if it is helpful to our current talent acquisition and retention efforts for Brian's continuing as OC to remain a distinct possibility, Positive Bob asks “what’s the downside?”

 

[TAIhawk]

I can see by the bows that Bob thinks you idiots are overreacting. It’s laughable you guys think things would ever get that bad.

This gives me the sads

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I’m still hanging on to the glimmer of hope that porta-dougie provided us.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Nothing is going to happen until after the bowl game. Calm your tits.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Who?

Clitty

I don't know that following that timeline will prove advantageous in the portal.

To honor you, I’ve invented a new word: “Bobtimistic” as in “sure all of our receivers are white, but I’m Bobtimistic that it’ll be GREAT”.

Your brain is literally broken and unable to function without falling into spiraling negativity.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Agree 100%

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I never quite figured our boy Bob to be a “always look on the bright side” kind of fellow.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Your brain is literally broken and unable to function without falling into spiraling negativity.

 

[Gushawk]

Can I get some objectively defensible positive predictions, Bob?

Who is the new OC gonna be?

Who will be our top 3 receivers in 2023?

Any new OL?

I’d love to get back that feeling I had when it looked like Josh Gattis would be our next OC and the wink, wink, nod, nod game was about to be in full effect. It’s pretty clear right now that nothing at all like that is happening.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Bob and Doug act as if the pessimism is unwarranted.

Why is that? I prefer those days too!

Peas in a pod, those two.

[Mountain Hawk]

Wishbone with double TE would not surprise me at this point.

 

[Gushawk]

Why is that? I prefer those days too!

Dochterman reported Gattis definitely isn’t happening, and if Brian is replaced it will likely be fucking Budamyr

 

[Herky823]

Can I get some objectively defensible positive predictions, Bob?

Who is the new OC gonna be? Not Brian

Who will be our top 3 receivers in 2023? Probably at least 2 TEs

Any new OL? Yes

I’d love to get back that feeling I had when it looked like Josh Gattis would be our next OC and the wink, wink, nod, nod game was about to be in full effect. It’s pretty clear right now that nothing at all like that is happening.

I have answered your questions.

Josh Gattis would have been a dogshit hire at OC. He's going to end up run out of both UMs in the space of a couple years. He's a WR coach, not an OC.

The fact that you thought he would be a good hire says a lot about how seriously everyone should take your football commentary.

 

[Gushawk]

Those do not inspire the positivity @Bob Sanders demands, @Herky823

he would have been much better than what we’ll keep/promote, especially if given the type of latitude Saban gave him, and considerably more appealing to the types of immediate talent upgrades we need. if you can’t see that, then I’d say you are the dumbfuck

 

[douglasbader]

It really sort of is. History has shown over and over when the cards are down, Ferentz comes out on top and makes the changes necessary to rebuild and do it quickly.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I think it'll be Brian, but I could see Chryst or Budmayr.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Dochterman reported Gattis definitely isn’t happening, and if Brian is replaced it will likely be fucking Budamyr

I just checked his resume. Super impressive.

I like the fact that the OC experience he has was for one season because they fired the head coach.

A gift from the heavens.

Jon Budmayr - Wikipedia

You mean another job where he was run out after a year? He has Alforded twice since 2018.

 

[Gushawk]

I’ll go on the record and say that don’t think Jon Budamyr represents the necessary change.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I have to say, I really liked what I saw out of the Iowa QBs this year.

 

[Creed]

I would mouth a homeless man for Chryst.

 

[Gushawk]

You mean another job where he was run out after a year? He has Alforded twice since 2018.

Link to him being “run out” of Alabama and Michigan? I assume he took big pay cuts with both moves, similar to Jon Budamyr’s following his last OC job?

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

It really sort of is. History has shown over and over when the cards are down, Ferentz comes out on top and makes the changes necessary to rebuild and do it quickly.

The only thing that's different is paying players.

Just that...that's the only thing.

I'm sure he'll embrace it and thrive in the new football landscape. You're right.

 

[MikeyJoe]

The possibility that Josh Gattis is a bad offensive coordinator does not diminish my belief that he is better at it than Iowa's current offensive coordinator.

 

[BBK]

Chrystmyass

 

[BillyBob]

Can people just please stay positive?

PLZ!

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Maximum Bob is pwning the shit out of Gus here.

 

[BBK]

I'm hearing for OC Mike Leach might be available

 

[Gushawk]

Maximum Bob is pwning the shit out of Gus here.

I made the mistake of playing on his turf.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Maximum Bob is pwning the shit out of Gus here.

Mouse bader is going to get K'dTFO'd and lit up if his predictions don't materialize.
