New OC

[nolookpass]

They can have both, they’ve chosen not to, probably because that dipshit Waddle and his fellow dipshits.

yeah Tom Waddle was a disruptive force at Iowa..

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Many (possibly the majority) years UNI has better wide receiver talent than Iowa. It's a choice to run that system and only recruit "your type" of guys.

UNI has a couple Iowa transfers playing WR.

Better system to highlight their talents.

I'm OK with some questionable characters than can actually play good football.

I think Kyler Kasper could actually increase his production at Iowa. 2 catches all season

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I log on after a few hours and see this thread at the top with 2+ new pages of posts. I figured that the new OC had been announced.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

It's hard to blame the guy but Kirk would rather go 0-3 against ranked opponents and get murdered with HIS GUYS than win with the Wadleys of the world.

It's extremely transparent when your all- American linebacker says he doesn't want to play with douchebags.

That's a tough needle to thread. They've won a lot of games since 2015 but the fanbase is rightfully weary of the same old shit.

 

[The Full Monte]

Iowa state manages to have a whole stable of decent WR every year and none of them are four and five star guys. We are just accustomed to not recruiting players like that.

LOL. If I got paid every time I’ve read a post from dumbfuck Iowa Fan acting as if the only options we have at WR are the 5-stars at Bama and Georgia….or the JUCO caliber guys we’ve started in recent years…I would be richer than @Mr. Hawk

It is among the dumbest things consistently posted on Iowa boards.

Yeah, we’re not getting those guys. But hundreds of shit programs across the country find a way to have halfway decent athletes at the position every year. Not having them at Iowa is a CHOICE

 

[Brad Wesley]

Getting “the right guys” is often an excuse for recruiting ineptitude.

 

[SteadyEddy]

Every other team in the entire country deals with assholes, douche bags, prima-donnas, and insanely inflated egos.

The goal shouldn't be to eliminate them from the team but strike a good balance and hope you can help them to grow and mature with their time in the program. Kirk got burned so he'd rather forgo talent. They are also at the point where no kid with that attitude would want to play in this shitty scheme so it's a mutual agreement.

 

[The Full Monte]

I don’t think it’s “ineptitude.” It’s under and overvaluing the wrong things.

This is the same staff that was throwing fade routes to Max Fucking Cooper

The same staff that gave Jackson Ritter 3 starts because “those young guys just aren’t ready!”

Look at the punt returners we’ve had over the years.

 

[MikeyJoe]

I trust there are non douchebag WRs out there who can catch the ball when it hits them in their GD fucking hands. White ones, even.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Getting “the white guys” is often an excuse for recruiting ineptitude.

FIFY

LOL!! I completely blocked this from my memory.

The same staff that let Iowa State run 17 plays in a row right over top of Mr Hustles, Does the Right Things Louie Stec before they finally pulled him.

Jesus. I forgot this, too.

Please stop now.

Who can forget last year when this happened at Illinois:

Probably best. I was just about to get to Greg Castillo

That probably would have been too much for your heart

[Brad Wesley]

Brian was hired as OC without any play calling experience. How often has that happened at a P5 program?

Kirk is going to hire another guy with very little play calling experience. Philbin was Harvard’s OC and O-line coach for the 97-98 season. It’s unclear whether or not he called the plays.

 

[thrawn]

Within the current B10, Minnesota has co-OCs who never had the OC title before their current job. Hartline and Sherrone Moore’s first OC jobs were at their current schools.

as a bonus, James Frankin’s first OC job anywhere was at K-State.

It does not seem exceptionally unusual, which is not intended as a defense of Brian.

Good info. I wouldn’t have guessed it’s that common.

Maybe coaches with previous OC experience are more likely to give an unproven guy a shot at OC? If shit doesn’t work out with the inexperienced guy, the head coach can take over play calling.

PJ-OC at Northern Illinois

Ron Prince-OC at Virginia

Harbaugh-shitload of high level QB experience, and successful HC experience

I don’t think Kirk knows shit about play calling but he can’t be worse than Brian.

Like Brad, I’m surprised it was as common as it apparently is

Moving forward, with the advantages that the B10/SEC have….i would think it would become infinitely more common to see an OC with successful experience at a smaller program before being given the job in one of those conferences

 

[nikolausp]

52% of Iowa's drives either turnovers or 3 & 4 and outs..... ouch.

Were any of the current co-OCs or brand new OCs silver spoon faggots?

Punting and Defense!

 

[nikolausp]

Punting and Defense!

I wonder how that 52% stat in particular (17% turnovers, + 35% 3-or-4 & Outs) , compares with every other college team's offensive drives this season.

Is this something our sports stats guy @HawkLax6 can query the database and show a list of?

Unfavorably. The answer is unfavorably.

 

[rodg12]

Incomprehensibly bad. Not 'complementary football.' Actively making things HARDER for Phil and the defense.

 

[thrawn]

IDK how so many of you guys can’t spell “complementary”. It’s pretty basic English.

 

[KitKatApples]

Sometimes the spelling is complamentry

It’s impressive how bad the WR recruiting has been when you put it in context.

Wide receiver talent has never been better. It’s been the position attracting arguably the best athletes. This upcoming NFL draft could set a record for the number of receivers drafted in the first round.

And despite this bumper crop (which has really been a decade long trend), we’re trotting out worse WRs than we were 15 years ago.

That's what happens when you haven't recruited a single competent QB since Stanley 2016. Everything is rotting.

Maybe ISM’s flip was Kurt’s final straw.

Hearing Chryst is the leader for the job. Having a hard time believing that it won't be Philbin but I hope I'm wrong.

Chryst has been the leader for some time, since Kirk went to see him. The uncertainty resides in whether he is offered another head job elsewhere

 

[douglasbader]

No shit, THAT is the fucking solution. Fire the worthless OL coach as well and get Philbin to coach the OL and Chryst can be the OC/QB coach.

Everyone wins.

What job is open or would be open at this point? Unless the NFL suddenly poaches a bunch of mid-level coaches, I don't think Chryst is getting any top level job that might come open like Michigan or LSU.

 

[cloudhawk]

Optimal outcome at this point

 

[hawkeyealum]

Based on the alleged reasons he got fired at Wisconsin, I have a hard time believing he’d be a real candidate for a major college job . Shit he didn’t want to do it Wisconsin he still have to do it all the other schools.

Correct, and that was his alma matter as well.

Very porn star limits feel to this.

Think Kirk was actually a fan of ISM by the time he was in his last year. There was a lot of talk about how much he grew up in his time at Iowa

I think we could all space whack in the sculpture park to that.
