Agreed. It looked like we were dead in the water with all of this stuff. Credit to the swarm collective guy, think that guy has invested a lot of time and money in getting this off the ground.

Don’t be an idiot. Iowa wasn’t competing in the NIL game until very recently. We saw Fran go after a bunch of guys with very little to offer. We heard Kirk shit talking the changes every chance he could. We heard from the swarm guy that the athletic dpt as a whole was not helping him. We had reason to be concerned about whether or not Iowa could be competitive in the current landscape.

And in the world of college athletics, even whiffing on a single recruiting class can really hurt you.

All of us on halo should give something small. Even 5-10k from each of us would really add up, i think.
I promised not to give Iowa one fucking CENT until Brian is gone!

Right, but at the same time Kirk has kept his job going on 25 years now. You don't do that by being unwilling to change or being a fucking loser in general. A mix of him is what is needed at Iowa, and that is what we are getting and why he shouldn't have been doubted. He's willing to change and has done it several times.

There have to be WRs set to come in, right? Otherwise, how did they sell Cade on this?
LOL. You woke up this morning and saw a mediocre mid-level receiver left and also a guy that is perpetually hurt left yesterday.

You thought Cade had agreed to come to Iowa based on a plan that those two would be here and that convinced him, and now they are leaving and you don't think there are other WR's on their way?

SuperHans, you are a certified moron.

At least he can watch Iowa football again now that Petras is gone! I assume you didn't watch the second half of this season after swearing off the petras-led Hawks, correct Hans?

I'm choosing to believe that Co-OC tweet is just made up nonsense, because the alternative is just too much to bear.
It's complete nonsense. Also, Budmyar or however the fuck you spell it won't be the OC. He might be the QB coach, but won't be the OC.

Brian and Copeland are gone. Maybe the OL coach as well, but still hear he might be safe.

I don’t see how this can be the case given the number of missed assignments we saw from the OL this season.

Not every OL issue this year is on the new guy. The lack of development should have plenty of blame sent Polasek's way as well.

Still I don't think they got much better this year and that's all on Barnett

Agree on development but they didn’t improve at all this year. They only looked better at times because Johnson is a superior back to the Williams boys

Plumb was a senior, so there has to be some responsibility. But I guess he should have probably never seen the field.

fucking disgusting if true
It would be an open recognition and illustration of the rot that is nepotism. Kirk Ferentz' son sucked at the job for the several years he was sole OC. Kirk Ferentz can't bring himself to fire Kirk Ferentz' son and Garta won't step in. So, hey, here's a great idea!! Bring in a Co-OC from within the program who would be one of the few who would actually tolerate such an arrangement to prop up the loser Kirk Ferentz' son. What a shit show that would be.

IMO, it would be worse and more insulting than just not making any changes at all.

I don't either by the way. That is the one that continues to shock me, but supposedly he is safe.
