New offensive staff.

Moore, Ferentz, blazek New offensive coaches.

If there is one thing the Iowa coaches seem to be very good at, it is determining possible position changes and getting guys ready for the pros, even if that isn't translating to wins on the field for the current Iowa teams. If Derby and Coe can't see that, then that is their loss because...

So the team on the field underachieves for 2 straight years, and now the University gets nearly $1 million in extra revenue from ticket sales? Awesome.

When are there ever answers for anything from Kirk? He will change the subject or give you some politically correct, round about answer. That is one great thing about Fran, he answers the questions and speaks his mind.

I don't reallly follow what other programs do with coaching changes, but is it commonplace to move all of your defensive coaches into position jobs they have not done in the past when making a promotion? It just seems odd that we can just put guys in new spots and put an offensive line coach on...

Kirk will not answer any tough questions tomorrow just like every other press conference he has ever done. He will beat around the bush, change the subject, and ignore any tough questions about the hiring process, the timing, and any offensive questions.

It has become apparent that the defense is not the problem. I think seeing Kirk stay with all in house people on defense is probably what will happen on offense, and if that happens and Kirk insists on the same offense as always, then that is a problem and I think people are worriednthat is what...

I would agree with Jon that the defense has not been the problem, the offense has. I just have a bad feeling it will all be in house hires that won't change anything about the predictable offense, which would be a big problem

These moves are just like the state of the program. Boring, predictable, and unwilling to adapt or change. What about the direction of this program makes ferentz think we shouldn't be bringing in some sort of new ideas? Why is he so afraid to try something new? While Phil parker isn't...

How does giving all the coaches new positions to coach on defense and moving one from offense to defense make any sense? So frustrating, but I guess we should have expected them to make as little change as possible, this way nothing will change at all and there was a chance to really pump...

How does it make sense to move a coach from the offensive side to the defensive side? Disappointing as expected.

Real shocker, we have the chance for new blood and to get some excitement going, and we just shuffle around all the current coaches. I am sure this exact same thing will happen for the offense as well. I really hope Parker and Campbell are willing to bring some new wrinkles to the old schemes.

Every year I look at Iowa's non conference schedule and think wow they should easily start 5-0....but it never happens, it is inevitable that the Hawks will lose 1-2 games to inferior teams each year, next year I expect they will blow either Northern Illinois, Minnesota, or Iowa State in the...

Philbin and O'Keefe I believe have many ties to each other, so this does not seem too farfetched. Two new coordinators to inject a little new blood into the program can't hurt. Obviously with Kirk still here there will not be major philosophy changes, but hopefully new coordinators will add...

This would be very good news, the offense has been costing us games for awhile now. Soup Campbell as O Coordinator? Maybe we will actually try to score to end halves and games with a new coordinator? Wouldn't that be a novel idea.

Seems pretty funny that all the highest spending schools are in the SEC, even though most of them don't even have to leave their state or the neighboring state to find the best players.

Why in the world would they wait until AFTER signing day to hire a coordinator? Don't you think defensive recruits want to know who their d coordinator and position coaches will be? I've seen a lot of waivering from Defensive recruits (Johnson) or else guys that have committed elsewhere...

Comparisons to the teams of the 60's and 70's are so irrelevant. Again, I don't think we need to get rid of Ferentz, but if they keep underachieving and losing players at a higher rate than other Big 10 schools (which they are), then something needs to happen. Ferentz has done a great job, but...
