Again, as I said in my post, I'm giving the guy a shot. I'd take 75th in offense all day long. Lester is better than BF and but of course he has no where to go but up. That's obvious.

It's hard to be positive when your offense is the worst in D1 football the past 2 years. If you're ok with it, great. If others want to complain, great. When you have a top ten defense and bottom ten offense, you don't see a problem? I'm for one am willing to give Lester a chance, but on...

Would have to agree here. As I'm only one fan, I want to see what he can do and if KF gives him just a little flexibility to do his thing. As I posted in another thread. Except for his final year at WM as the head coach his offense put up some good numbers. I have to believe he'll be an...

And don't forget, Iowa's OL coach, at least as far as we know, is still employed. He needs to go and quickly.

I know it was the MAC, but from from 18-21, I don't count the first year, the W Mich offense was pretty high in the rankings at about 450 yds a game. Not sure what happened in his final year of 22, but they were very much like Iowa in the past 2 years at 301 yds a game. That final year may be...

Sandfort went too far in how he jumped Freeman's butt. Freeman didn't make an error. He was called for a foul and he reacted to aggressively towards the ref. Sandfort only needed to go pull Freeman away from the ref. But to get in his face and scream at him at mid-court was wrong. Freeman...

Very sadly, a normal football fan has to admit this is looking like it's true. Who'd want to be an OC at a power 5 school and have the head coach who's philosophy is archaic and who controls your every move?

This is a correct statement. They are not turning the OC position down. They are turning down KF and his offensive philosophy.

Are you surprised Alabama already has an agreement for a new coach. The OC job at Iowa is not a premium job at this point. What relevant OC would take this role while KF is the head coach?

Who the frick said push out defensive players? Get rid of the dead wood from the offense and bring in better talent. In other words, in their year end exit interview let some people know they need to go into the transfer portal. It's not that difficult a concept. Sure, feelings may get hurt...

That's part of it. But it's recruiting better players as well. See the recruiting coordinator for that. Oh yea, Kirk Ferentz's son-in-law is in that role. We know how relatives of KF on Iowa's staff have worked out don't we?

What about the offense? Need more and better WR's, better OL. The defense is fine. The offense is not.

I'll answer your last sentence. See below. Kirk Ferentz is the head coach and controls the offense Iowa runs no matter who the OC is.

And approximately 7 million other reasons.

You are correct about the son in law. Nepotism is still alive and well within the Iowa football program.

Just hire a friggin OC and get it over with Ferentz. Those with common sense know you're not looking for a home run hire, but someone who'll do as you say.

But Iowa has Deacon Hill. The Hawks CANNOT do better.

For the heck of it I looked at the previous 10 year win/loss records before Fry and the 10 years before Ferentz. 10 years before Fry Iowa was 21-72 10 years before Ferentz Iowa was 66-49 My point is Fry took over a dumpster fire of program and brought it to life. Ferentz didn't inherit near...

That may qualify as the most accurate post of 2024 so far!

The Missouri Tigers played very good defense and offense this year. It is indeed possible to do as you stated. But as you also said, you're not sure if KF believes this. By the results of the past 25 years, that belief is pretty much warranted.
