New OC

[Dr. Zaius]

It would, however, be nice to have someone with some experience to show they know WTF they are doing in the proposed role

 

[Kamala]

I will say, can we stop with the OMG they've never called plays!! thing?

It's a simple sport filled with and coached by mouth breathing retards. As has been pointed out a billion times, a 12 year old that plays Madden can call plays well enough to win at Iowa. I'm sure LeVar could figure it out.

No. There are plenty of successful playcallers at a lower level. Get one of those if you can’t do better. Nobody associated with the Iowa Hawkeyes the last 5 years should be a candidate for our OC gig

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I personally think Brian was poison to Brian's career.

Brian was poison to my mental health.

 

[kenos]

LeVar might turn out to be solid.

He's not Bridawg. That's enough for now.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

This. There are numerous options available, most of which Iowa has the means to hire. And yet we're once again going to go with someone not qualified.

 

[douglasbader]

This is really all setting up perfectly for Kirk. He can now say he went after the big name hire everyone wanted him to get (Chryst) but was turned down. The next best candidate up was LeVar, who happens to be extremely well liked and a young black coach that has been seen as innovative.

Not a single media member will be able to seriously question him on this and he gets to keep the hire in house.

 

[The Full Monte]

I get it, i'm just not convinced that Barta didn't realize it.

I can easily see the rationale for not including bowl results in this; agree with it or not.

But Gary is still a completely incompetent moron. Both things can be true at the same time

Except there is no way LeVar is the next best candidate. There are plenty of legitimate questions that could be asked.

 

[kenos]

LeVar, who happens to be extremely well liked and a young black coach that has been seen as innovative.

all of which could improve skill position recruiting, perhaps.

 

[douglasbader]

Except there is no way LeVar is the next best candidate. There are plenty of legitimate questions that could be asked.

Oh, so now a young well respected black coach isn't good enough for the job??

 

[douglasbader]

See how this works?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

LeVar completely revamped the way our special teams plays, from formations, shifts, recruiting and playcalling.

It probably isn’t a great career move for him though.

 

[The Full Monte]

Brian was poison to my mental health.

There are serious issues but you are being hysterical

 

[kenos]

LeVar completely revamped the way our special teams plays, from formations, shifts, recruiting and playcalling.

unless he revamps our offense

 

[Hawkstrat]

If this shit happens its only slightly better than the Gift getting the job. At this point it's beyond lazy, it's gross negligence.

I doubt it happens, but this would be much worse than Budmayr. This would be making Iowa's special teams worse. Budmayr would be an awful hire, but he would probably be better than Brian.

 

[Kamala]

Oh, so now a young well respected black coach isn't good enough for the job??

Correct, a coach with no playcalling experience isn’t good enough. There are young black OCs that exist. Get one of those if you value young and black.

 

[The Full Monte]

This is really all setting up perfectly for Kirk. He can now say he went after the big name hire everyone wanted him to get (Chryst) but was turned down. The next best candidate up was LeVar, who happens to be extremely well liked and a young black coach that has been seen as innovative.

Not a single media member will be able to seriously question him on this and he gets to keep the hire in house.

Which is exactly what he wanted all along

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

And further, it’d be absolute poison for Lavar’s career, just the same as it was for Brian.

I don't think this is the case. He convinced them to do that swinging gate shit or whatever it was. I think he has the balls to do what he wants and actually has a creative mind.

I still don't know how the center is an eligible receiver on that one play. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

 

[kenos]

Get one of those if you value young and black.

you almost got a song there, son

 

[The Dad]

LeVar might turn out to be solid.

He's not Bridawg. That's enough for now.

We said this exact same shit pertaining to Brian replacing Greg and look where it fucking got us?

 

[turtley78]

I mean Seth Wallace played RB in college.

Well actually…

 

[kenos]

We said this exact same shit pertaining to Brian replacing Greg and look where it fucking got us?

yeah, well, Levar is neither fat nor retarded, so he's already got an edge

 

[hawkeyealum]

Is that what Roy is getting at? I think a lot of us said that from the start, can't see why Kirk doesn't give LeVar Woods a shot at it. He's been exceptional as a ST coach, came up with some innovative plays and certainly won't be worse than Brian. Not to mention he's a young african-american coach.

A guy with no OC experience, and three years coaching an offensive position. I understand he’s been good in the roles he’s been coaching, but that move does not inspire a lot of confidence, considering we just had a guy with no OC experience and he was a fucking disaster.

it may work out and also carries pretty significant risk in my opinion

 

[Shawneemicks]

I really don’t want to hate LeVar but I’ll have to if he’s the OC. The way God made it.

 

[The Dad]

yeah, well, Levar is neither fat nor retarded, so he's already got an edge

I get wanting to be optimistic, but man does it make some of you fuckers stupid.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Maybe Ladell Betts can get an interview while we’re at it? He at least played on offense.

This entire thing is stupid. The ineptitude is beyond comprehension.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I get wanting to be optimistic, but man does it make some of you fuckers stupid.

Getting pissed makes you unable to read. Apparently.

 

[douglasbader]

Seeing people get PISSED is making me love the move.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I would prefer Kirk interview successful OCs and hire/pay one appropriately.

 

[HiG 2.0]

Well actually…
View attachment 51753

Damn. I swore he played RB. But tomato-tomato.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

 

[cloudhawk]

Reeks of more Fort Kinnick bullshit, which is the reason IOWA is in this position right now

 

[Grandma]

For more money, lower taxes, less crime, and more affordable housing? Why not?

1. Washington does not have an income tax.
2. The HC of a I am a giant douche school doesn't have to worry about affordable housing.
3. Crime is local. There's zero crime where this guy was living.

Of course, I wouldn't expect you to know these things because you don't deal with wealth.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I would prefer Kirk to GFH if he’s going to continue to make this hire as painful as possible

 

[Floyd R]

I’m more concerned with who is recruiting, developing, and coaching QBs in the fall vs the OC.
The current QB talent is fucking embarrassing.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m concerned with every single thing related to the offense. Players, coaches, scheme, food they eat, women they bang, etc.

 

[nolookpass]

that goofy son in law of Kirk's, the recruiting dude, may be as inept as Brian.

 

[Gushawk]

I can easily see the rationale for not including bowl results in this; agree with it or not.

But Gary is still a completely incompetent moron. Both things can be true at the same time

it’s the one-sided nature of the bowl result’s inclusion that was prototypical Garta

 

[HSP_Hawk]

Biggest issue with the LeVar hire...who is going to coach the QBs? LeVar? Schematically, I think he will be an improvement over Brian. His concepts on Special Teams and ability to adapt/evolve were better than anything Brian dialed up on offense. But can he coach QBs?

Not sure. I do know that when the kicker sucked, he wasn't afraid to pull him and try someone else. That alone is a step up.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Not sure. I do know that when the kicker sucked, he wasn't afraid to pull him and try someone else. That alone is a step up.

Great we already played the walk on QB with no experience.

 

[snips]

kirk has not had an 'assistant head coach' prior
wonder what the fuck that entails?

hookers and blow, hopefully.

let's oklahoma this place up.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I want to forever look upon LeVar fondly and not hate him with a burning passion when Iowa passes for 57 yards and 2 INT with 2 Bacon fumbles

 

[HiawathaHawk]

We had two pages of hand wringing that they were only paying $800K, based on nothing, that now certainly looks like it was never the case. Now this.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Doug leading the charge!

Welcome to Thunderdome.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I get wanting to be optimistic, but man does it make some of you fuckers stupid.

Let's face it, you're going to bitch about whoever they hire. Everyone wants their dream OC. Live in the now, man!

 

[rodg12]

Alabama stealing Head Coaches from South Alabama and Buffalo to be CO DCs and we’re here talking about LeVar as our OC. What the fuck?!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

that goofy son in law of Kirk's, the recruiting dude, may be as inept as Brian.

lol what?

 

[nolookpass]

first big thing out of South Alabama since Willie McCoy...
