    Matt Rhule - Iowa Week Interview

    Unfortunately, this a growing trend in college and even the pros. It is very rare to see a DB go in and tackle a TE and bring their arms with them. They either try to hit stick or dive at the legs. Iowa has bailed him out several times this year because they fly to the ball and are very good...

    It all depends on who this candidate is and if they accept early. If they feel the candidate is wrapped up then there is no hurry but as I mentioned if they feel there is a gap and the other positions start to fill then they have to announce it. Kirk won't want the attention before the bowl...

    Men on the Road

    Unless you are a truly honest person and against the idea you may want to try and find a streaming site that carries the game for free. My son ad friends are able to find all kinds of sports and have watched the last several UFC pay per view fights for free. Buffering may be an issue at times...

    Just my opinion but I don't think Kirk would make an announcement until after the bowl game which in reality isn't too far away. The only way I could see sooner is if he is retiring for sure and the "secret" candidate they want isn't available anymore. Once a couple high profile positions...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    Parker is a great coach but I don’t think he would be a great CEO. I don’t see him enjoying or tolerating for very long media, fundraising, and all the other stuff that is asked more and more of the head coach. I don’t see him moving the needle in NIL or fundraising

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    I don't know much about Campbell so I a not sure what motivates him if it's money or legacy? I believe he has younger kids and that can be an X Factor so moving can be a big deal with their friends, schooling, activities, etc. Campbell could be mediocre at ISU for a long time and not feel a...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    That would be an earthshaking move in the state and College football. If this were to happen I will be loving to hear the backstory as to why Campbell would leave Ames for the team out East.

    Agree, even if he didn't burn bridges I don't see the attraction of him besides he played at Iowa. One big mystery out there I guess we may see is how desirable the Iowa job really is.

    I cannot remember all the details but I think ole Bert burned a few bridges a few years ago and it will not happen.

    Agree, and it gets under my skin when the talking heads still squawk about Iowa's offensive numbers being so low but then just skim by the special team numbers. There have been many times over the past few years where Iowa's yardage may not have been great but when you factor in return yards...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    The only existing staff member I would want to see is Woods and I think that is the most doable if you want to keep much of the existing staff as Wallace could slide into DC Coordinator because Phil is done once Kirk is done is my opinion. I think if Wallace would be hired lots would Jump...

    Fry, just curious on the following. Have you heard if Kirk would be staying on within the Athletic Department as a consultant or Fundraiser/Liaison with the Children's Hospital? Could be an interesting way to avoid paying out his contract buyout but also keeping him around the program. While...

    Question: How active is Iowa in the Transfer Portal?

    The problem with the transfer portal and Iowa is the type of systems they run. As much as people say Iowa is vanilla there are really not a lot of programs that do things similarly so the learning curve at some positions can be steep. That being said if you want to maximize on the transfer...

    Report: Bo Pelini out at LSU

    Pelini has made a nice living not working. Wish I could be that fortunate

    TA&M or OSU

    Should be 1. Bama 2. Clemson 3. Coastal Carolina 4. Cincinnati this year was the chance for the committee to make a change and award these smaller schools that played many more games and went undefeated. It is blatantly obvious this year more so then the last few years that the draws aren’t...

    Go Get Lovie Smith As An Assistant Right Now...

    I like Lovie but I think he is too old for HC. How about a recruiter/scout or consultant if he would be willing. Maybe he wants to slow down a little who knows. I would reach out though and see what his vision is

    Tyler Goodson

    I’ve noticed since day one that he stops moving his feet as he is close to getting hit which causes him to usually go backwards. There have been a few times he will lower his shoulder and deliver a blow but it has typically been in the open field and doesn’t do a lot to the defender. He also...

    Michigan recruits we targeted.

    Just watched a video on YouTube regarding Michigan and Jimmy’s contract. it is for sure up in the air if Jimmy will be back and a decision could be soon since early signing is coming up. Evidently some recruits have been looking elsewhere and he was asked directly on a recruiting call if he...

    Spencer Petras

    I also think it is fair to say that he has had balls dropped which should have been caught. I also think it is fair to say that with the exception of a few younger QBs the Iowa play calling doesn’t always play to the strengths of the player. the coaches want the QB to be able to do things...
