**Official 2022 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[brantshawks]

Don't do it, Gus.

It's Friday night and Dougie is setting some shit up!

 

[Gushawk]

What vibe did Steppe and Kakert give off?

steppe said on his last podcast that Kirk would not proactively initiate Brian’s departure - only way it happens is if Brian voluntarily looks for and finds another job he wants.

 

[Gushawk]

Me and douglas are copacetic, brants. Even when he gets pissed.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Brian isn't the hero we need, but he's the hero we deserve.

 

[BillyBob]

BriDawg will be back, sources have confirmed.

Just relax and let it happen.

 

[Pedro Gomez]

When I think of Iowa Football insiders, I think of a guy that lives in Texas and works in the movie industry

 

[CleteyColgate]

BriDawg will be back, sources have confirmed.

Your sources are better than @douglasbader

Anyone's are to be fair

 

[Gushawk]

BriDawg will be back, sources have confirmed.

I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it - Robert Montgomery Knight to Connie Chung, 1988.

 

[OlePeep]

Seeing Cade M walk unassisted down the Carver tunnel to the elite booster clubs leads me to believe, once and for all and despite all previous inconceivable outrages, Ol’ Spence has taken his last snap as a Hawk, delayed or otherwise.

 

[JR Hawks]

Kirk knows he has to make significant changes or the media/fanbase will go crazy.

I could see a scenario where he defines significant changes being schemes rather than personnel....the offense changes but the coordinator remains the same.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Lack of signed players? Nobody can sign until the 21st.

Were you guys born retarded or did you just end up that way through some special IowaFan outreach program?

I am #teamportadougie.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Brian is aware of ruining Kirk’s legacy, he doesn’t want to do that.

 

[BluesHawk]

You don't know what's in his heart.

The only reason he lives in Texas is because you can't butter popcorn remotely

 

[Alan Lomax]

This is true, but I assume Brian love his dad a lot. You know, given raising him and giving him a great life.

Spencedawg is a proven commodity for Kurt and Bri.

Expect him to be slinging it game 1, per sources.

 

[6deuce]

Someone on TOS saying Brian has found a spot in the NFL and is for sure gone.

I love you @douglasbader

 

[Talkin' Goat]

If there is one thing that has proven over and over to be reliable, it’s when sources on TOS have reported something.

Spencie gonna have a short leash vs ISU!!!

What if it's just Doug posting over there under an alt?

 

[CleteyColgate]

What if it's just Doug posting over there under an alt?

He's the drunk guy at Brothers talking to recruits

 

[6deuce]

What if it's just Doug posting over there under an alt?

I want to believe.

 

[cloudhawk]

What if it's just Doug posting over there under an alt?

This made me LOL....

 

[6deuce]

Tread lightly @Kamala

 

[douglasbader]

[Pedro Gomez]

In almost honesty I hope you are correct

 

[L. Wade Childress]

No one at TOS knows anything they didn’t get from here.

 

[CleteyColgate]

No one at TOS knows anything they didn’t get from here.

As a result, both Halo and TOS are wrong 99% of the time

 

[26.2]

He's the drunk guy at It's Brothers talking to recruits

fixed

 

[CleteyColgate]

I guess I'm not the drunk guy

 

[HzzzHawk]

Vibes from who?

typically I would Czech the grammar here, but I believe it was RATT so I will refrain. Long live Da Mouse!

 

[HzzzHawk]

Me and douglas are copacetic, brants. Even when he gets pissed.

* Mouse and I are copacetic

From Doch’s latest mailbag. Fucking gross.

When it comes to Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz, I’m not totally sure if he’s going to stay or go. He’s not leaving before the bowl game, and I’ve heard conflicting reports about his future…

There was a ton of smoke about Josh Gattis running the offense, but that’s not going to happen. The most likely scenario is for current analyst Jon Budmayr to shift to quarterbacks coach and take on offensive coordinator responsibilities. Budmayr was the former offensive coordinator at Colorado State and quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin.

So, no significant changes for the offense. Great.

Oh

 

[thrawn]

In Budmayr’s three seasons as Wisconsin QB coach, UW finished #81, #23, and #85 in QB rating. In his season as OC, Colorado State finished #79 in YPP. His main qualifications appear to be: 1) already has an office and 2) has a different last name than Ferentz

that feels like a “look, we did something!” move without actually doing anything.

Which we’ve established will result in a 30 day ban for Doug

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Do we get to pick the starting date?

September 3. It’s in the by laws

I’m hearing it’s associate head coach/head coach in waiting, BriDawg.

Coaching is an odd profession where you can be demonstrably terrible at your job but keep getting hired. It’s not even confined to a specific sport. You see failed coaching retreads in every league. And success or lack thereof is quantifiable - especially for an OC. What would have led Iowa to hire this Budmayr turd to begin with?

That would be a terrible move, therefore the most likely scenario.

He’s only 31 and currently an analyst. The hire itself was fine, bumping him to QB coach only would be okay. Falling up from Colorado State OC to B10 OC makes no sense.

To be fair, those results are probably all Iowa needs to level up

 

[Kamala]

There is no reason we should be content with the minimum workable offense, even if thats a significant improvement

Nobody is worse at retread than the NFL.

 

[Gushawk]

we heard a lot this spring and summer about Budamyr’s imprint on this offense/revamped passing game.

 

[BillyBob]

Budmayr is a gift from heaven.
