**Official 2022 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[Floyd R]

Budmayer was the lead recruiter according to the Insider! on TOS. I think he will be named the QB coach when the season is over fwiw.

 

[kmurp]

He did try to catch one. He didn't though.

He was a different player from freshman to sophomore year. He looked promising last year and nothing but shit this year. What game did his drop seal the loss? I know his fumbled punt was almost a nail in the coffin against Nebrantska

He fell in the Iowa State game.

I have a bag of rice I'm not using

I’m donating some cans of creamed corn.

Here is the other reason why the co-coordinator thing is total bullshit..... the NCAA still has rules and limits on coaching staff positions.

You can have 1 head coach and 10 assistants that can have direct day to day contact with players. If you are going to add someone, then someone else has to go. They can't just add Budmyr as an actual coach without removing someone.

 

[rodg12]

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

They were better with Colby at G. The right side and C still sucked, but the left side was solid with Richman and Colby.

ETA: No idea whose call it was to move Colby to G. All on board Brian, Copeland, Barnett all being gone FWIW.

Brian as Co-OC and OL coach and other dude as Co-OC and QB coach.

 

[6deuce]

Hopefully Richman or Davidkov are good enough to move to RT. I'm assuming Proctor is slated for LT.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Budmyr has never coordinated an offense worth any shits, at all. I would be pretty disappointed in that hire. Find someone that has a few years of successful experience and bring them in. Iowa has money to pay, it's fucking ridiculous to not think they can get an experienced, successful coordinator and playcaller.

 

[douglasbader]

Here is Iowa's official staff as of right now...

Head Coach - Kirk Ferentz
DC/Secondary - Phil Parker
OC/QB - Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz
Assistant DC/LB - Seth Wallace
Special Teams - Levar Woods
OL - George Barnett
DL - Kelvin Bell
RB - Ladell Betts
WR - Kelton Copeland
TE/FB - Abdul Hodge
Assistant DL - Jay Niemann

 

[nikolausp]

100+ new swarm members joined yesterday after this news. That's impressive and hopefully it keeps growing.

We'll over 200 in last 24hr!

 

[CamelTones]

Budmayer was the lead recruiter according to the Insider! on TOS. I think he will be named the QB coach when the season is over fwiw.

Wisconsin was the first school to offer Cade out of high school and Budmayer was the one that initiated that offer. He then offered and I believe coached Cades brother at Colorado State.

 

[Floyd R]

It sounds like Davidkov isn’t coming back.

 

[RiotFan]

No idea if this guy knows what he's talking about

[HerkyHopeful]

That sucks. Big time recruit and Iowa never had him on the field

Jake McNamara is at UTEP, so was never coached at Colorado State

 

[TJones3312]

Appears he was committed there at one point.

 

[nikolausp]

Right... Until they fired Steve Addazio.

 

[rodg12]

Another portal WR possibility...

 

[IceManX722]

Arland Bruce to K-State?

 

[BBK]

If we just promote some dude already on the staff to OC I'm going to fight everyone

I too would be furious beebs

I'll cut ur fuckin dicks off

I'll cut ur fuckin dicks off

For free?

 

[hawkeyealum]

Leshon is a solid college back, imo.

Yeah that was unfair of me to lump him in with Gavin, but Johnson is still better

 

[Revolver]

Arland Bruce fielding punts at Kansas State next season:

I’ve gotten two separate texts in the last 20 min about the OC being Paul Chryst and Brian going back to the patriots

 

[The Tin Man]

All the talk of prospective offensive additions are great, but are there any thoughts on the ability to reload on defense? I trust Phil, but am curious how you go about replacing a Jack Campbell. Roberts, Moss, and Shannon were solid players too. Do they get any portal help on that side of the ball? What does the defensive two deep look like next year?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Fucking would.

I think the DL will be fine and they do get Jacob’s back

I would celebrate Iowas entire catalogue if they hired 2 Badgers that feel scorned by Wisconsin and want nothing more than to beat their dicks in.

They had some injuries at corner, Harris should be good, Dejean, castro, Nwankpa, hall. I think think the secondary should be good. The line should be good. If Jacobs comes back with Higgins they will take a small step back but be solid.

OC Chryst, Superstar
When do you think you can fuck me hard

Higgins and Jacobs should be able to hold it down at LB. They did get a JUCO DL from Iowa Central and were recruiting a JUCO CB that went to K State.

 

[Creed]

Chryst + Phil and they would give Wisconsin a real buttfuckin. Let’s do that.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Is Terry Roberts definitely done?

Van Ness

Don’t forget Jamison Heinz!

Has Roberts announced he's done? Can't he come back?

 

[cloudhawk]

If this was the case- suprised that the Wisconsin receiver who transferred to Minnesota didn't come to Iowa

 

[MikeyJoe]

If this doesn't happen @hawkeyealum is getting permabanned.

 

[Hawk24]

Hasn't announced, but he did walk for senior day, for what that's worth.

 

[Kerky]

That image is going to be remembered along the same lines as the Jonathon Parker kickoff return in the bowl game

 

[Whatever]

There's a lot of guys that could be back including Shannon, Benson, Roberts, Evans.

 

[Kerky]

I think the DL will be fine and they do get Jacob’s back

And a young Ben Keuter who may be able to crack the 2 deeps

 

[hawkeyealum]

I report you decide.

chryst makes sense as a candidate that could wait until after the season to announce anyway. He’s already available, rich and unlike younger guys he doesn’t need to interview and accept a job early in the cycle

Plus he and Ferentz always seemed to be on good terms, and they have the Budmyar connection.
