i think a good compromise between Doug who wants him to stay and the rest of us fans is to keep him on the staff but put him in the box with a headset that doesn’t connect to anyone. He’ll never notice.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

might as well just keep Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz as OC then

lol, yes. That’s the only option.

literally no one wants him to stay

 

[Gushawk]

literally no one wants him to stay

but you’re totally fine with it if he does

 

[L. Wade Childress]

but you’re totally fine with it if he does

if the options are Brian leaves and so do recruits that will make us better, or Brian stays as a position coach and we make a major talent upgrade, I choose the latter.

 

[Gushawk]

I’m only coming if the worst OC in Big Ten history stays in a diminished capacity! Come the fuck on.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I hate you.

 

[Geese]

This thread SUCKS

 

[Gushawk]

I actually love Wade

[HzzzHawk]

I bet that never happens in the group text. You probably send Frodo your noodz

what is this “group text”? And it’s supposedly got Deuce, Frodo, the dad, and Wade? Why am I not on this group text …. those are my peeps.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Lol giving bridawg credit for OL success. Shawnee could have looked good coaching the OL with guys like Wirfs, Linderbaum & Jackson.

Brian wasn’t their position coach. Are you an idiot?

 

[wondergrape]

I remember a video clip of him calling out a young Tristan Wirfs for being a pussy and then he eventually turned out to not be a pussy so I’ll generously give BF credit for that transformation.

"Do you like his hands in your face?'

"No."

"Then get them out of there. Stop being so fucking nice."

I don't like BF, but I'm okay with that.

 

[BBK]

I love how frothy you and Doug get over this alleged group text. Lol

Not as frothy as ur dad gets when he's covered in my spunk

 

[Shawneemicks]

Brian wasn’t their position coach. Are you an idiot?

Possibly
Probably

 

[The Dad]

There has never been a bigger collection of mouth breathing retards.

 

[douglasbader]

We’ve seen many suggestions that he’s such a good position coach that his retention would be defensible if not justified or even desirable.

Name one fucking person that said any of that. You've got terrible reading comprehension.

 

[douglasbader]

my point is that any “reason” would be as “stupid” as fuck and could only happen here. as a fan and alum, it’s annoying to me that we might distinguish ourselves as unique in this regard. It’s dysfunctional

Also, this is flat out wrong. A team playing right now in the Big XII championship had this same sort of issue. Plenty of others have coached with their sons and family.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Name one fucking person that said any of that. You've got terrible reading comprehension.

BDS is a terrible disease.

 

[douglasbader]

brian is a very special boy according to some in this thread

Not a single person has said this.

 

[BBK]

Not a single person has said this.

Youre loving and defending Brian until the bitter end, dear friend

 

[CleteyColgate]

Fun side note, I learned this week that the post announcing that they had finally banned you holds the all-time like record on that board

That is pretty cool

I'm just going to put my opinions on the record regarding Brian and the OL coaching position.

• Brian is a terrible OC who should at minimum should have been removed before this year.
• Barnett is fucking dogshit at coaching the mental side of being an offensive lineman. Watching the Iowa OL consistently confused about who they are supposed to block is an abomination. Fire him yesterday.
• Getting the next OL coach hire right is of utmost importance because there is a lot of developmental damage that needs to be reversed.
• Brian was a well above average OL coach whose players appeared to know what they were doing.
• I could see a world where Brian as the OL coach under a future OC would work, but only if he eats a clear title and pay demotion and the atmosphere in the building isn't completely toxic surrounding him remaining.
• Brian will never again advance higher than position coach/run game coordinator. NFL, college or otherwise.
• I would prefer that they hire a good OL coach to replace Barnett and Brian moves on.

 

[douglasbader]

BDS is a terrible disease.

No shit. The last 2 or 3 pages are Gus IowaFans just fucking flailing about because it was pointed out that IF for some stupid fucking reason that Brian was demoted and stayed that ultimately the program wouldn't fall apart and the coaching staff would be fine and be able to work through it.

Nobody wants that or is advocating for it, yet somehow Gus and a few other interpreted that as people not only love Brian, but want him to stay.

Madness.

I tell you, after the last few pages maybe I will actually root for Brian to get demoted and stay on as OL coach. It might be worth it to see the freak out.

 

[BBK]

I want to see Incel Bob all roly poly in a diaper

 

[Gushawk]

So you agree that it would be a poor decision and an unusual accommodation based solely on his bloodline that Gary Barta would have no reason to allow other than to further placate Kirk?

I don’t think pointing out that reality is “freaking out”.

How in the FUCK can you even be asking that? I've said and EVERYONE has said it would be a poor decision from the start. Nobody wants it.

You aren't just pointing out that "reality", partially because it is still a total hypothetical, but also partly because you are assigning blame all over the place that some imaginary people want it to happen.

So, yes, you are freaking out over absolutely nothing.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Too much hate and tension. This board needs more love, patience and acceptance of opposing views.

[Gushawk]

There certainly seems to be a fair amount of openness to idea of Brian staying among some. A copacetic vibe if you will. LWade even suggested that it may be indispensable to our ability to attract and keep talent.

I don’t think pointing out that reality is “freaking out”.

solely on his bloodline? You mean other than the multiple first round picks, multiple 1st team all conference players, national player of the year awards at multiple positions, and national OL of the year award?

Lol, if you fire a coach, you have a high chance of losing players they recruited. #analysis

 

[Gushawk]

Even when that coach is the worst offensive coordinator in Power 5 football and in many cases would not be coaching the position the kid plays if retained?

 

[Soda Popinski]

This thread has gone off the rails.

 

[The Tin Man]

I wish they could somehow convince Joe Philbin to come back and coach OL. I wouldn’t mind him at OC if Gattis or Chryst aren’t the guy.

 

[Gushawk]

The toxic cocktail still is affecting me, definitely

I’m on record as having said I’m more concerned about fixing the line than I am the QB spot.

but there’s something I’ve never quite understood….if Brian is so good at coaching the OLine…and it was the OLine preventing his offense from “working”….why the fuck didn’t he fix it? The idea that he was capable, but simply chose not to because that was someone else’s job makes no sense to me

Because he wasn't coaching the OL.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Because he wasn't coaching the OL.

Seems like it would have been in his best interest to fix it, if he was good at coaching it.

He’s not, though.

 

[The Full Monte]

Because he wasn't coaching the OL.

Uhhhhhh

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Don’t forget universally hated.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Uhhhhhh

Uhhh what? He was busy trying to put out QB and OC fires. There is a reason why they didn't allow him to stay as OL coach while being OC, coaching a 15+ man position group and being OC isn't doable.

 

[Gushawk]

A real magnetic charmer by all accounts and indications

This thread has gone off the rails.
