Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz named Offensive Coordinator

[roseboundhawk]

 

[brantshawks]

I, for one, welcome our new offensive overlord.

 

[ThadHawk]

Not really a surprise, and I'm OK with it.

 

[Creed]

That's good for him. And I think it will be good for the Hawks. I'm excited to have him there as he is young, hungry and talented.

 

[OlePeep]

I, for one, welcome our new offensive overlord.

yeah you done so good last time. don't jinx it!

 

[jabberjaw]

Fuck.

I'll hold out my real thoughts until I've seen shawnee weigh in.

"I've had the good fortune to work with -- and learn from -- a number of great coaches, two who are coaching Saturday in the AFC Divisional Playoffs, Bill O'Brien with the Houston Texans and Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots. It was an invaluable post-graduate coaching program for me. They taught me the value of coaching to your players' strengths… and instilled in me a relentless determination to win.

"As we look ahead to 2017, we will develop this Iowa team to be tough, smart, and physical -- the foundation of Iowa football for the past 18 years. But to compete for a Big Ten championship, we must also be adaptable and flexible -- to make the changes necessary that will give us the best opportunity to win."

 

[BLSardo]

I either love or hate this hire.

Or I think it's okay.

 

[valp0]

I was holding out for Dreg Gavis

 

[CUIHAWK]

Throw the ball down the field, Brian.

 

[Geese]

I'm pumped.

[Stu Beagle]

I'm fine with it. They weren't getting anyone better. I'm more interested in seeing what other assistant changes we see.

 

[valp0]

NLP can't wait for Steven Ferentz to be named OL coach

That's certainly encouraging.

Well, that's a novel idea.

 

[Revolver]

Brian is going to be great.

 

[MikeyJoe]

So far Brian has already mentioned the passing game complementing the run game and used the word flexibility several times.

 

[Geese]

We won't be changing everything, however. We will continue to throw the ball 3 yards when we need 5 on 3rd down.

 

[Herky823]

Yeah I'm on board with this.

Sad that we're at the point where "play to your strengths" is something meaningful and not just coach speak but I think he'll be great.

 

[MikeyJoe]

Short of out right saying that Greg Davis sucked and needs to die in a fire, this is nice to hear.

 

[Herky823]

Here are Iowa fan responses so far on Reddit:

Well that's boring as shit.

Really. I was looking for someone who could actually do something with our offense.

I... I don't know what I was expecting.

Everyone thought Greg Davis was a shakeup after KOK left. I'm holding my judgement until I see what product he can put on the field

There are a number of fans on r/cfb and r/collegebasketball that annoy the shit out of me.

@castichawk24 - I'll keep you posted.

 

[douglasbader]

I put it in the other thread as well, but I really like this move. Brian is more alpha than Kirk and think he will love grinding shit teams into submission.

Yes, more Nebrantska in 2016, please.

also, hard to read that quote and imagine them keeping Kennedy

 

[Geese]

This is great news. I can't wait to hear the rest of the changes to the staff.

Thank you, @Herky823.

 

[Soda Popinski]

I bet he kicks the holy shit out of Iowa State on an annual basis.

 

[brantshawks]

Time to hopefully have an offensive coordinator that has more than just an offensive offense.

 

[Geese]

 

[Lime]

Unless Brian is a complete train wreck or there is a scandal I think we can safely assume this is the final step to setting up Brian as the next head coach

 

[Geese]

All coach speak, but still nice to hear these things.

I told ya he hated Davis as much as or more than the rest of us

First CyFan response:

"Snicker"

LOL. If a similar situation happened at ISU they'd be building him up as a head coach worthy guy that they "stole" as OC.

If there's one thing Cyclone fans know best, it's evaluating new coaches.

They would blow their collective load if Tony Yelk was named HC. Best ISU player of all time Imo

 

[BLSardo]

To be fair, that feller snickering over on CyFan might still be missing his eyeglasses.

Lol

Greg Davis is a faggot.

pretty sure Kendall Briles was considered head coaching candidate last year

 

[Herky823]

RATT Call!

@Everyone better get on record here. No "starting to be in favor of him" only to change your tune down the road. Anyone against this hire - Reveal Yourselves!

 

[BLSardo]

@BSLardo is deeply in favor.
