I don't think we give KF enough credit. Sure, he was pissed how the firing of BF went down. One, nobody can deny as a dad it would sting to have your child fired. I think moreover what pissed him off was how it was done. Creatures of habit. We have handed the keys to KF for 25 years. For the...

I think it's a double edge sword when you talk about the portal. On one end, it allows an athlete who may be unhappy with his playing time/role, culture, or etc. to move on and find a better fit. On the other hand, it creates an environment where there is no commitment to a school. Instant...

Isn't there an OL that entered the portal from Michigan State that had Iowa in his top 2. If i recall correctly, he was a 4 or 5 star?

As we have seen, the NIL and portal has changed recruitment and how things are done. As previously mentioned, a team can go from 3-9 to 9-3 instantly in a year. It's good and bad both. I hate how athletes can flip flop if they don't like their current situation. There is zero loyalty, but I can...

I think it was a plethora of things that made this ugly. Barta's attempt try to address Brian's poor performance with the stipulations for points per game. Which only made national news and become a focus by national media. It became an embarrassment to say the least. Memes flew and every week...

Great post. Here's the question I have with teams figuring out Iowa and their scheme. We do the same thing year after year (besides the hybrid CASH position) on defense yet we were very very solid the last couple years on defense. I think you did touched on it when you mentioned the dominating...

You are not wrong, but I would still say their talent at that position is infinitely better than anyone we have on our roster at quarterback. I would argue they have a bit better luck at obtaining the talent to execute those gameplans. But point taken.

I heard that too. Low class. Phil, I honestly think, has shown his love for not only the Hawkeye football team and its players but his respect for KF. I think some assistants are very happy and content where they are at. I think KF does his best to take care of them financially too. In this...

KF is my guy and he is heckuva coach. He will always get my respect, but I think it's very clear that what quarterback plays is directly linked to his philosophy. He prefers a game manager to a playmaker. Very few times in the 25 years I have seen an athletic or mobile quarterback besides Brad...

Incredible hustle play after missing a tackle. They are saying he is potentially DeJean's replacement. Granted I would love to see DeJean defy the experts and come back. Maybe Castro and Higgins stick around and run it back in 2024? I know, wishful thinking.

It's crazy. Matt Rhule was talking how it would take $1-1.5 million in NIL to get a good quarterback. Crazy.

I think the most glaring issue were the turnovers and the one punt return, which is normally very good. Incidentally, Taylor is now the all-time leader in punt yardage for the NCAA. The former record holder was on a 2-11 team. Also, the defense played very well. I think you add DeJean in there...

If you look at tOSU's season, they didn't dominate in their normal fashion. Wasn't it a late touchdown against the Irish that got them over, and the Penn State game was more pedestrian. Throw in a loss to Michigan, and I'm sure Bucky fans were less than thrilled with a quarterback that was less...

I have no issue with Braun getting it. Granted KF was my pick. Echoing what was said by many, I think you could easily show many obstacles the Iowa staff had. Injuries at key spots that were key to Iowa. Losing a quarterback was huge. And losing the top two receiving targets just added to the...

They posted an interesting stat that is shows what a special group and team this is. Since 2000, they inquired what the most wins were for a team that averaged 250 yards or less. It was UCF in 2006 with 4 wins!!! 10 wins is 10 wins in any conference. If you look at next year, our offense looks...

Great post. Especially "taking the bullets" while deflecting the compliments. That's what head coaches are supposed to do, but I think KF goes above and beyond that. Players have bought into the culture that staff has fostered. They know they all have roles and rarely do you see the "I or me"...

I think you nailed it. It is love of the game, the players, and the university. There is so much we don't know and don't see, but see the kids rally around him and the rest of the staff. That says something. Those kids love their coaches and it's reciprocated by the staff. The culture built...

It goes to show how tight this staff and team are. This is a theme that seems to be year after year with the Hawkeyes. A true genuine moment and spoke volumes of the relationship Phil has with Kirk and the players. The moment on the sideline with Kirk and Brian was emotional, but also seeing...

Was Lachey set to be back by the bowl game? I know All is done. Just had not heard any updates on Luke. I can see Cooper wanting to play if possible, but I can also see the staff even advising him that it may not be in his best interest to play. There's a lot we don't see or hear about as...

I think he stays. As time passes, I think it may even be a relief for him after the past couple seasons of Brian being scrutinized (as well as him). I think people forget how much Hawkeye football and the U of I mean to him. I also think leaving at the end of the season would definitely leave...
