This is a fantastic new idea. Deuce is very, very mature and Rob asks good questions that let's the young man opine on who he is: a very grounded, competitive young man that will be a positive addition to our locker room and anyone's locker room. I look forward to more of these as the insight...

Jok Bohannon Cole Cook Clemmons

This appears to be a solid hire. BF will have two experienced Offensive Coordinators on staff. KO has good teaching experience at the next level and TP is experienced in setting very high goals and helping to accomplish them. My wish, dream and hope is that this may all mean that Iowa is...

I agree that the next two hires should be qualified, young aggressive coaches that will fit in well with the veteran staff and help BF stimulate recruiting. For me, it is about setting a high bar. No need to be "just Iowa". We have a lot to sell: Stability, great facilities, great player...

I think there are a lot of positives with this addition of KOK. Now you have two coordinators with NFL experience for receivers in TE's (BF) and WR's (KOK). The offense is likely to be built much like the Pats where BF came from with a lot of use of TE's and the need for a solid QB. Having...

If Scott would have fumbled before reaching the goal line and Iowa recovered to win everyone would be saying how great the defense was to deny MSU a score. There was very little difference between two good teams yesterday and it came down to Iowa not getting the ball last. With the benefit of...

I agree with this. What would the message be if this did not happen: Win every game on your schedule, win the B1G championship, beat 2 or 3 Top 25 teams (all on the road) and this is not better than an independent ND that picks its own schedule and where they play, has no conference games to...

There is a lot of football yet to be played, but after this weekend I think that the picture has become somewhat more clear. In my opinion, there are 14 teams that have a chance to be among the four playoff teams: Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Iowa, Notre Dame, Stanford, Florida, LSU, North...

North Texas has a SR QB from Iowa City. He had a terrible game against SMU and was better against Rice. Rice led 38-10 late into the 3rd Q before N. Texas scored 2 meaningless TD's. McCarney and McNulty (QB) will probably be a little fired up coming back into Iowa City. Anything can...

Things did look pretty similar with respect to Rudock last night and how he performed at Iowa. It was just the first game and Utah is a good team. I think things will be different over the rest of the season. Michigan has some very good receivers. Their line will get better. JR will need to...

Welcome Kyle!! Glad to have you as a Hawk!! Big addition to our defense. We should be well stocked at LB when Kyle arrives in 2016 with Bower, Jewell, Niemann, Jinning, Hesse, Hockaday, Wilson and Outsey. Will give Taylor some excellent players to compete against helping the whole squad...

CP, I am not saying that JR is right or that KF misled him. I am just saying that JR's quote seems to be "a shot". Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but this remark when juxtaposed within the rest of the article seems to indicate (at least to me) that JR felt misled by KF. Your point...

I think this part of the interview: "He's not much of a sugar-coater, and I appreciate that philosophy because it's a lot more efficient to be honest and open from the start than to say something and rebuke it later." indicates that JR thought KF was opposite of this. I would take that as a shot.

Getting back-ups playing time is a critical issue which could likely slow down the transfers. Hard as it might be to say, I think that KF is more focused on wins than even the fans. By this I mean, how you win or lose appears to be less important to KF than just getting a W. Consequently, we...

The school that will benefit from future recruiting at St. Thomas Aquinas is Michigan. They have the brand to lure the top level talent that comes from this school and Harbaugh will make J.R. into a much more effective QB than Greg Davis/Kirk Ferentz. I think it is a given that Harbaugh can...
