A. Barta is BF's boss so likely was the one who officially hired him.Have they elaborated any further on the administrative side of this? I personally don't give a fuck but there is no way that you can just hire your son without a search for a half mil position without following due process. Is this going to be considered an "emergency" hire and it's filled for a year officially?
I think he'll be a big improvement over GD if just for the fact of his work with the Patriots and the (record setting) TE passing game, which in spots like 3rd down is probably more important than getting the WRs open, since it penalizes stacking the box against the run.I perceive him as capable of recognizing and adopting good ideas, I just don't really trust him
to effectively revamp a passing game that's this fucked up mostly on his own and with reference primarily to his own knowledge base. And I know the good new ideas aren't coming from anyone else currently on the staff.
That's it? No meltdowns or insults or anything?A. Barta is BF's boss so likely was the one who officially hired him.Have they elaborated any further on the administrative side of this?

B. UI hiring policy states that if an internal candidate meets the qualifications for the position (and it can be documented) and the supervisor wants to hire that person, no search is required.

This completely changes my opinion of Philbin. I didn't realize he was retarded.correct.I couldn't find the article on Google, but I swear that GDGD was hired under similar circumstances. Like his position not officially permanent for a year or something.

also, Philbin nearly hired Davis as his OC with the Dolphins, so the blood of the last five years is on his hands.

I don't care, but I'd be shocked in Ryan Foley doesn't write an article questioning it, I think he thinks AP regents reporter is going to give him a pulizter

Nate Stanley and Jack Nunge may be products of the same robotics lab that produced Herman Munster.Was Brian that horrible yesterday? I’m not his biggest fan but a lot of this seems to be Stanley.
though maybe that means he should know Stanley’s limitations but now...dammit
Name the other statuesThose teams have all been notably worse at QB too, but ferentz won't get credit there. This season is another 8-4 dog-turd . Oh yay, we don't totally suck!
With Iowa's vanilla pro-style offense, is it just easier to recruit high end pro-style, immobile QBs, whose options at the college level might otherwise be limited? Seems like we've had some statues here, good and bad. It would be nice to see an Iowa offense with a highly mobile QB again.

Just ok is not okLooking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
I’m not sure what this means@Dr. Zaius is a facebook fan.
He has been handed 3-0 out of conference records due to ISU being our closest thing to a challenging game. 4-5 and 5-4 in the douche isn’t anything anyone besides a department sycophant would love. I’d love to see 6-3 in the conference this year, but I think the Ferentz normal of 5 (or god forbid 4) conference wins is more likely.Looking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
Looking at his winning percentage, Brian is lucky to have Phil Parker as a coworker.Looking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
You have been bit hasty, and over the top.I’m not sure what this means@Dr. Zaius is a facebook fan.
You don’t think the design of iowa’s offense is heavily predicated on the predictability of their defense?Looking at his winning percentage, Brian is lucky to have Phil Parker as a coworker.Looking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
so do you salt the boots first or just go straight to licking them as isLooking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
I think that's a complete red herring to the issue being discussed here.You don’t think the design of iowa’s offense is heavily predicated on the predictability of their defense?Looking at his winning percentage, Brian is lucky to have Phil Parker as a coworker.Looking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
@Skyline Chili Buoy, you voted no. explain yourself?
yes, you know me. Totally excited about the offense and defending Brian at every turn.so do you salt the boots first or just go straight to licking them as isLooking at his winning percentage Brian is doing fairly well.
I have no idea why people worry about shit like this. The odds of Brian even following Kirk, not to mention him also continuing to do the same stuff as head coach, are next to nil. But by all means, let’s continue to use it as a negative talking point in the present day.Assuming that Brian is hired as HC and assuming he continues to implement the same basic schemes as Kirk (with similar results),we could be looking at 40 years of some variation of this offense. So in 2039, when I’m 59, I could be watching Iowa inexplicably run off-tackle to the short side of the field.
At some point, the risk of trying someone/something new and have it fail is more appealing than watching the same thing for 3-4 decades.
Well probably because the results look pretty similar but how we get there looks vastly different. That tells me it’s an issue with overarching philosophy rather than tactics.Not to pick on @L. Wade Childress (but seriously though fuck @L. Wade Childress) why do people treat this like it's about offensive philosophy and not like it's a concern that Brian just might not actually be that good at this?
How do you watch Iowa get stuffed for no gain on every single audible out of I formation and respond "WeLl AcTuAlLy IoWa RuNs A cOnSeRvAtIvE sTyLe!"
I get that Iowa isn't going to come out running some crazy Oregon style scheme, but unless you think Iowa is trying to have a really shitty run game it's not really about style.
Our 3rd down and 2 point conversion percentage indicate he is not a good play caller. I don’t think it is a “zone blocking sucks” thing.Well probably because the results look pretty similar but how we get there looks vastly different.
