**FIRE BRIAN - Official Michigan vs. Iowa Football Thread - BRIAN IS A FAT SACK OF SHIT**

[Mountain Hawk]

Another historical parallel.

Brian is our Edward II.

Just awful.

Oh please gods no, he was on the throne for 20 years.

 

[Kamala]

You're wrong.

So the head coach isn’t responsible for the team? If you think that you are too stupid to breathe

 

[Geese]

Where did he say this? He said Kirk isn't going anywhere. And he's not.

 

[Kamala]

Where did he say this? He said Kirk isn't going anywhere. And he's not.

Fuck Brian, he is 10000000% the issue

That’s where

 

[Soda Popinski]

I thought Racioppi fixed All that shit

 

[Alan Lomax]

That’s where

He said the guy that’s fucking terrible at his job is at fault. Kirk’s proven himself to be great at parts of his job, Brian is TERRIBLE at his job. Kirk’s worst fault of having his job is hiring Brian. Brian’s worst part is existing in that roll.

 

[Hawkstrat]

The problem with "Kirk isn't the problem, A, B, and C are," is that Kirk prevents A, B, and C from being addressed.

Kirk loves Petras, made and hired Brian, and I don't know what C is, but it's probably on Kirk.

Love the guy, happy at what Iowa has been under his coaching- but if Brian is the problem, it ain't getting fixed under Kirk.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

I’m okay with Brian being on staff. He adds an asshole element that we need to stay edgy, especially since Doyle left. And, he does love the Hawks. But OC, no. Someone else mentioned it before but he might be a be better HC than OC. I could see that being the case.

 

[Alan Lomax]

I thought Racioppi fixed All that shit

Yet his feet get tied up or not set multiple times every fucking game. Almost like he just CANT consistently do it in a game.

 

[Kamala]

Right, so they are both at fault

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Jesus Christ, no.

I would rather have a woman coach than Brian.

The worst he could do is be as bad, because you know, Iowa is dead fucking last in offense.

 

[Chip Brody]

This is accurate. Many people bitch about the offense, etc. but yet defend KF. Until he feels any pressure, nothing changes.

After thinking about it, it would be surprising if he was somehow the worst in the country at any other job, too.

 

[Alan Lomax]

I’d love for Kirk to retire, like now.

 

[Geese]

That’s where

He still never said Kirk bears no responsibility

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

on the bright side, we only lost 27-14 and not 42-3.

so there's that.

Which means in our last two games with Michigan we've only lost by 69-17.

 

[Geese]

This is accurate. Many people bitch about the offense, etc. but yet defend KF. Until he feels any pressure, nothing changes.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

If it removed him from playcalling duties for the remainder of the season, I would name him co-head coach tomorrow.

 

[Kamala]

If one person is 10000000% the issue, how much is another person also part of the problem?

 

[Alan Lomax]

If it removed him from playcalling duties for the remainder of the season, I would name him co-head coach tomorrow.

Well yeah, he can’t be worse at that other job.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

Well, that's understandable. I mean, like, every college quarterback loses concentration and focus at key points in big games.

 

[Creed]

If it removed him from playcalling duties for the remainder of the season, I would name him co-head coach tomorrow.

Fuck that. Three years ago, maybe. Now, he’s lost that chance and needs to be exorcised from the program.

 

[cloudhawk]

Well, that's understandable. I mean, like, every college quarterback loses concentration and focus at key points in big games.

Yes, it is weird how it always happens at important and pressure packed parts of games

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Kirk saying on postgame that he might get fined for what he’ll say about officiating in the presser.

He got right up to the edge, but I don’t think he went as far as he hinted he was going to.

 

[Geese]

If one person is 10000000% the issue, how much is another person also part of the problem?

I was told there would be no math

 

[CUIHAWK]

I just had a nightmare that had Spencer sprinting out and trying to throw.

 

[Herbie2]

Why were you doing that?

I thought chat was for people sitting at home watching the game on television having a way to interact with others. I did not realize that we need to have our TVs synched so that all the various streams are coming in at the same time.

 

[Debit One]

If it removed him from playcalling duties for the remainder of the season, I would name him co-head coach tomorrow.

Oh Jesus, no.

You have no evidence that Brian is anything other than a meathead. None. Naming him co-head coach allows Kirk to make no changes, and locks you into having to give Brian a run as HC after Kirk's retirement (whenever that may be).

If you remove Brian from calling plays you still have Petras carved in stone at QB. Thus, the season is on the rocks anyway.

Let Brian complete this failure of a season and Team Ferentz feel the heat for having hitched his wagon to Brian and Spencer.

What were you doing? I was on YouTube tv so didn’t use chat hardly at all

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I just had a nightmare that had Spencer sprinting out and trying to throw.

That was my favorite part of the ISU game. Sprint him out left over and over...sure, he can't chew gum and walk, but it's so dumb, it just might work.

Agreed, let them eat the shitburger they pattied up. Unfortunately, we have to taste it too.

 

[CUIHAWK]

Having him sprint out to the left is malpractice.

 

[BillyBob]

We got a real problem here, boyz.

Garta allowed Kurt to lord over Iowa Football and turn it into some sort of family business. Garta is too much of a beta to do anything about the Bridawg situation now. Moreso, as we all know, Kurt is a delusional man (see Spencer Petras at QB). He still thinks his little Bridawg is gonna be the HC when poppa decides it's time to hand over the chiefdom. And that buck toothed yokel Gary Garta thinks that's just a swell idea. I don't see a way out of this mess. That's why nepotism is bad.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Brian has to own this simply for having the OC title, period. We don't know exactly what parameters he is forced to work in, but he doesn't get to avoid blame simply because his dad has the puppet strings. He agreed to be the puppet.

Barta, and maybe even the UI prez should get plenty of heat for allowing that charade to take place. It was against state law for Kirk to hire Brian so Gary did it for him. He needs to be included on any of the fallout.

Unfortunately, this is the Iowa good ol' boys club there won't be any accountability until this has collapsed to the point of needing a major rebuild.

 

[Kerky]

I have no doubt Kirk thinks this offense/team is close. He can look at the ISU loss and easily see a win was within their grasp and even today could have been within 6 in the 4th quarter. Blinders and pig headedness prevents him from seeing the warts that really need addressing. In his mind we can still get there with better execution. Just don't know who can reach him. To Mikey's point he has no external pressure to make change and improve performance like he did earlier in his career. He's not going anywhere.

 

[The Tin Man]

This OL really sucks. 35yds rushing. Can’t pass block worth a shit.

 

[The Tin Man]

Kirk saying on postgame that he might get fined for what he’ll say about officiating in the presser.

I like Kirk’s fire, but with the officiating changes in the last 5 years with respect to cut blocking, pick plays, he’s just tilting at windmills. Evolve or die.

 

[MisterFalcon]

This OL really sucks. 35yds rushing. Can’t pass block worth a shit.

This might be the most discouraging thing as far as I'm concerned. If Iowa sucks at OL, with Kirk Ferentz as HC, that is a huge red flag to me.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

How do you guys think recruiting is going to go on the offensive side of the ball?

Great or just good?

Colby might be the best RT on the roster, but he has been awful all season.

 

[MisterFalcon]

I don't see the offense being fixed anytime soon. There is no one on staff who can fix it, or who will do what it takes to fix it.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

How do you guys think recruiting is going to go on the offensive side of the ball?

Let me answer my own question.

 

[Debit One]

Dunker and Elsbury need to be the OGs the rest of the way.

 

[Geese]

Kaleb Johnson will hopefully not take nil money to leave after the season

 

[Chip Brody]

Let me answer my own question.

who the fuck is that

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

who the fuck is that

A former ND baseball commit who is playing football for his first year.

Supposedly quite fleet of foot.

 

[Hawkstrat]

He does look pretty fast, but that 4.2 number is bullshit.

 

[jabberjaw]

Fran wonders if he plays basketball.
