    If Tom Bradley were hired as DC...

    i think he would be homerun. not a huge transition scheme-wise. got a lot out of linebackers and was slightly more aggressive scheme-wise. Plus he could recruit Pennsylvania for us.

    Scott Pioli: The Next J Edgar Hoover

    I thought this was a hatchet job by a writer with an axe to grind and a bunch of people angry about getting fired.

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    compared commit list with 2010 and 2011 roster. does not account for in season defections nor post season transfers. I believe both jucos got there degree so number may actually be 7. will have entire big ten sometime today or tomorrow.

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    You can't compare Iowa's offer numbers to schools outside the Big Ten for two reasons- Oversigning isn't allowed by the Big Ten and the Big Ten has higher academic standings for incoming recruits. Nothing about the numbers are wrong, they aren't my numbers they are Rivals commit lists. And...

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    By comparing the rivals list from 2007 through 2011 to the 2010 and 2011 rosters 7 players- eliminated two Juco recruits. I am assuming they finished, if not it pushes them to 9.

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    Basically Chad I don't understand anything that you wrote here. But if you are disagreeing with me than I am probably on the right track, especially with my bolded statements from your quote. In case I was unclear, and I don't think I was, what I am saying is that PSU is the program that...

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    Basically 88 scholarships is the limit. so over a 5 year period theoretically you would have 88 players. Only Northwestern was even close to that number. And yes this is a list of the commits over the last 5 seasons. I was familiar with every name from Iowa and will not be with all of the...

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    You can do that work, that took several hours to put together. What it shows me is that something is seriously broken inside the program. Either in recruiting evaluation, relating to coaches when they get on campus, or Chic is failing in a big way. I always think the program that most...

    Iowa's Attrition Compared to BIG Schools

    Here is the list of players who committed to Big Ten schools over the past 5 seasons- 2007 to 2011. The reason I limited it to 5 years was that a commit from the 2007 season would have played his final season this year following a red shirt. Iowa has had the third most turnover in the...

    DMR -"Lawyer: University should have acted sooner on Marcus Coker"

    Roxanne Conlin is a thief of tax payer dollars and a glorified slum lord. The red star should investigate how much money she has stolen from the government and her opinion of this is less relevant than any hn poster.

    How Does the Loss of Coker Imact The Offense?

    I am on record in other threads that next year's offensive line has the potential to be at least average and feel they could grow into an above average unit. But Iowa's rushing attack was already sub-par with Coker. I don't think he will be easy to replace, because he rarely took negative...

    How Does the Loss of Coker Imact The Offense?

    It is hard to understand what is going on with the Coker situation. But this is going to have dire results on the field. Will Iowa adjust the offense to become more pass heavy with at least two spots being manned from new offensive lineman? Will this offense resemble 2004 or 2007? Coker's...

    Why keep Erb?

    It does seem that trouble seems to follow him though. I stand by my earlier assertion that he should be involved in deciding who we offer at RB. I am sure they dig deeper than just the film, but seriously he either has some dumb luck or there is something to this.

    Why keep Erb?

    Under Jackson Iowa had some semblance of running back depth. Greene ran for 100 yards in his first game, but was rightly on the bench behind two talented backs- Albert Young and Damian Sims- imagine that depth at running back and multiple 100 yard rushers in a season. Erb has not shown an...

    Why keep Erb?

    I am with CAAR on this one. Illinois should not be a feather in anyone's cap as a recruiter and maybe I am way off base here, but don't all the coaches review film of the players they are going to target for their specific position? That seems to be the way that things should be done and if...
