I skipped over most of this thread, but did anyone respond "Gee, the upside is you might not be the worst offense in the entire country??"

Anyways, I was never on the get rid of Kirk train, but after hearing Brian speak they all need to get walked out the door.

If you guys want to talk about pipe dreams, great. If this thread is about realistic options in the $350k range that will be the Offensive Coordinator at Iowa and have some freedom to change things, then Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz is a good option.

I was around him a few times in Iowa City, have seen him interact, give interviews and speak off-camera to people.

Good to have you aboard, Doug. Some of us knew in 2014.

I have been around him twice and he was a retarded meat-head.

Pathetic. Do your fucking job. Don’t have to be a prick about it, but stop letting these utter morons control the narrative.

Brian and Kirk both appear to be legitimately stupid.

My god it is infuriating to watch failure on so many levels and an inability - or flat out refusal - to adapt or change. Digging in and choosing to ignore reality out of obstinance…..smh.

That was embarrassing. Fire them all.

No, you do it by having a couple of big dick swinging DC and ST coaches on staff.

The stupid part is in choosing to keep meddling in the offense and holding the program back from being what it could have become. Kirk was great, brought us from the final years of the Hayden-era and built a developmental program with occasional bouts of awesome. Then he reverts back to an über conservative offensive philosophy, a disregard towards adapting to how college rules have changed, and an inability to grasp revolutionary changes such as NIL and transfer rules.

Instead of taking that step in front of Wisconsin and locking down the division, we sat back and watched Northwestern appear in more BIG CCG as we did this decade. That wasn’t because of our D or ST.

But the most sacrosanct thing of all, is that he continues to trot out the worst QB any of us have ever watched play football while rubbing our nose in his condescending and passive-aggressive arrogance.

Throw the Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz stuff on there and bam, stupid.

Playcaller & decider of who runs said plays for the CFB offense that is firmly cemented in the cellar of all the stats that matter, and you ask "What's the upside?" to changing QB1 with a tested & proven player.

Keep stealing that 900K/yr, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz.

Reporters need to start questioning Brian like he’s a bad employee, because that’s exactly what he is.

What you’re doing isn’t working. That’s why we’re having this conversation. If it was working, we wouldn’t be talking right now. You would just be doing your job well, and I would have more time to waste on the internet.

When asked what he was going to do to fix the situation he started listing things he should already be doing. Weren‘t you already doing these things? What’s going to be different moving forward? How do you think your performance should be measured? What do you think should happen if you don’t improve by the standards you just laid out?

You have to nail squirmy, dumb fuckers like this to the wall.

What's the upside of Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz coaching Iowa's offense and mentoring the quarterbacks?

Iowa is a better program than Ole Miss and could throw a pile of money at him if they wanted. Plus the winning in the Big ten west is easier than anywhere in the SEC.


Fuck

I’m confused. Are you advocating for Ariana Grande to be the next football coach at Iowa?

I’ll admit I feel for Brian when he starts talking about his love for Iowa. I don’t doubt him at all. But I care more about the program than I do Brian. And that’s the way it should be for everyone involved.

But I can think of one person who definitely cares more about Brian than the program. Spoiler, it’s Father of Brian Ferenz, Kirk Ferentz.

I was talking with the parent of one of the kids that Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz kids go to school with and apparently Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz is tanking the season on purpose bc he thinks if things go bad enough the courts will throw out the racism charges against Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz

What happened to this much smarter and non-obtuse KF??


Three weeks later, after sizable losses to Illinois and Ohio State, Ferentz decided the defense needed a lift. The Hawkeyes were set to face Wisconsin, which had butchered Iowa the previous year, and the team needed to make a statement. It needed (Bob) Sanders.

“I think it’s probably about the only time in 20-plus years where I made a mandate or suggestion that, ‘Hey, let’s get him in the lineup just to see what happens,'” Ferentz said. “I mean, it couldn’t get worse, right? So, let’s get him in there. Keep him down low in coverage, so he doesn’t blow something deep for us and let’s just see what happens.

“We still gave up 400-plus yards, but we gave up whatever amount of points it was (13), we had a chance to tie it there or go ahead in the fourth quarter, which was a far cry from the year before they just totally slaughtered us. He made our team better.”

Look at the OL.
Not only are they really bad across the board not a single one of them has even close to average potential. Maybe Jones but he weighs about 100 pounds less than necessary.

This fact emphasizes the NEED to scheme away from the current offense. It’s literally retarded to keep doing the same shit. And it’s not just this year. Moving forward it might get worse.

Kirk's the same guy he's always been. It just bothers some of us a lot more when Iowa is losing. Padilla did something that pissed him off, so he's never gonna play.

Brian's not going anywhere. Kirk's the guy that created an award "Assistant Coach of the Year" for Doyle immediately after Rhabdo. Some of us didn't mind. Just win, baby.
