They certainly destroyed us in the second half, I'm not sure any team would have beaten them. That was the beginning, of what Alabama is now, at USC.

Agreed, injuries do happen. I guess I believe that, at Iowa, it's hard to replace some of the players when they are injured. If this were a team stacked with talent at WR or a blueblood then I would agree. As it is, Iowa doesn't have the talent or depth to cover up these losses. I don't know...

I was hoping Iowa would get Limegrover or even Kill to come in as an consultant or even on the staff to help both the Offense and Defense. I was never impressed with Minnesota's offense, outside of the Iowa games, so not really feeling Limegrover as OC. I like the Roman idea that ILYLarryS has.

ND, too!

I doubt any firings would ever happen mid season with Ferentz as HC. Check back right after signing day.

I'm under the understanding that those do not exist.

I want to agree with you, but they got worse after GD left. Furthermore, if Iowa had the talent that Texas has, the offensive scheme would probably be adequate. I had always felt that even if GD wasn't a good coordinator, that at least he would have in roads with recruiting in Texas. I was...

Agreed, if Iowa is able to get good players they do well, generally. Having middle of the road recruiting classes the last few years really shows how much the up tick in recruiting will help.

Or spend that money on building Taj mahal's for dorm rooms and facilities, so that more players want to visit/commit. Hell, even spending that money on additional recruiting coaches would make far more sense. Ferentz is obviously able to win, and more often, when he has talented players.

We were ahead at the end of the first and tied at half, hardly "owned" for 4 quarters.

We've had at least 10 freshmen play this year. More than I can ever remember playing as freshmen.

I'll try again, and I'm not sure how you missed it last time, but Iowa CAN NOT fire Ferentz. Like, they can't afford to with the buyout, even if it were a good idea. How is not being able to afford to do something a losers mentality. So tell me, what do we do?

So you, if you were an AD, would fire a guy who has won 10+ games the last, what, 6 out of 7 years, and won 2 or 3 big ten titles in that time. And you would just fire him because of one bad year? Maybe, you could say that their defense isn't as good as it was, but they had a down year like 4...

How do you run the ball if you can't pass it? Just explain to me how to do this without drastically changing the scheme and running an option type of offense? We went heavy on receivers at the expense of the O-line. We whiffed on the receivers and now neither are great.

So you don't honestly thing that Iowa recruiting is better, this year and last, that the previous 4 years? Why is having more talent not a reason to be optimistic? Some of their practices were in an F'ing INFLATABLE BUBBLE.

That would be stupid to do. If Dantonio leaves, it's because other teams are willing to pay him big to get him.

Because, if we get what most fans want, we would be some of those other teams. Ferentz scheme may not be what most people like, but it's sustainable. We WILL be teams like ISU and Kansas if we aren't careful. I don't know, maybe I'm concerned about having a history like Illinois where they...
