Just thinking out loud. Was Ferentz aware of Mason upcoming retirement and felt the need to speak and proclaim what he has done for university first? With Mason gone, there is probably a good chance Barta is next. What will the new president and AD think of Ferentz successes over the past...

This time it is in the coaching ranks. Just heard from reliable source that Erb is no longer on the coaching staff at Iowa. Has not been around for a few weeks. Source is relative who told me that Soup left before it was announced. FWIW

[/B] Agreed. Haven't heard much on Erb in a while. Just talked to my relative, who informed me of Soup leaving before it was announced, that Erb is no longer on the football staff at Iowa. No idea if he was fired, left on his own or where he is going. Just told me that he has not be around...

I think i mentioned as much detail about my source as i can when i first put on here that Soup was leaving. I have a very close relative who is involved with the fb program on a daily basis. Really can't get much more detailed then that, sorry.

The person who told me Soup was leaving a month ago or so thought it was Soups decision to leave. This is speculation on his part, not 100% confirmed, but he thought Soup was not happy with GD coming back as OC again. Not sure if he didn't like GD himself, or his scheme or just disappointed...

FWIW AJ was on sideline talking with a lot of players and coaches during NE game. I understand a lot of former players do this ... maybe there is a chance.

I think it is to early to really know if Brian to WR is a good move or not. Really depends on who gets hired to fill the OL position. If it is Morgan, then depends on who replaces him at DL. If we get the right coach to fill the vacancy this could be a good move, if not the right coach then a...

I heard a few weeks back the Soup was leaving, looks to finally be confirmed. The question I have is: Why didn't Ferentz come out and make a statement that this was what was occurring instead of everyone finding out from a potential recruit? Could this lead to further negative recruiting...

Just talked to my brother-in-law who was involved with the football team this year that there is a team meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning announcing a member of the football staff is leaving. Unfortunately, it is not Davis. He told me that Soup is leaving the program. Wasn't sure what...

Thought the same thing after reading the press transcript. I'm guessing KF has left the door open for GD to return. Cant see KF firing someone after one year. Maybe GD is undecided at this point. Guess we will find out eventually.

Talked with my brother - in - law who is involved with football team on daily basis. I asked him about QB for next year. His opinion: Ruddock - is the best in his opinion right now. Smartest and throws the most consistent ball. Very similar to JVB. (He also said JVB was accurate in practice)...

Maybe NW is spending all that money on recruiting. Recruiting gets expensive when you get a majority of your recruits from foreign countries. Lots of travel to find them. Also they probably have translators on staff to help with the language barrier. :D Whatever they are spending their money...

Think there may be some truth to what Caarhawk is saying. Erb is not the most liked coach on the Iowa staff. Is he the reason for all the attrition at the position? I don't think so, but I do feel he may be a part of it and I think Ferentz should take a close look at the situation. I...

This is probably the most likely scenario to play out. Parker at DC. Woods moves into DL and Wilson stays at LB. DB - ?. Maybe Parker do DC and DB. Then go hire actual QB coach. Maybe move Woods to LB since that position he played and move Wilson to DL ... I did hear he might have some...

Has Stoops always been this animated? Or did he become more animated when he had the extra pressure to wins ball games bc he was the head coach? Maybe being only DC will settle him down a bit ... probably not, but worth a shot. Coach K gets pretty animated and seems to get along w KF. Phil...
