It will be interesting to see how things play out next year. Too bad he won't be the Dolphins' OC so we can compare apples to apples. While I'm happy to see some new blood and fresh ideas, I do think KOK showed some major cajones from time to time and I appreciate the work he did. Much success...
Trying not to out myself but I have some experience with DR in sales. He was never, ever smarmy or insincere. Just a really nice guy with persistence. Hope he does exceedingly well!
I agree. BF is smart. If he has been (or will be) hired at Iowa, he knows it's not his place to announce it. This is something some of our newest recruits could stand to learn.
If we get Herman, it'll make almost everyone in Hawkeye Nation happy. How can you argue the benefit of a coach who can flash a Super Bowl ring at recruits?
JL seems like a good get but facebooking this seems a bit disrespectful to me. Everyone knows Iowa keeps things in house. This is one of...
I think the Press Citizen (or maybe the Gazette) did a feature on him a couple of years ago. Basically he was a surgical rep and decided he really wanted to pursue coaching. He went to UCLA and through sheer nerver and relentlessness, he got a gopher job that eventually led him back here to...
Soup for OC? Man, this staff needed a breath of new life but I'm not sure I'd love to see us have to replace Norm, KOK, Morgan and Coach K in the timespan of three months.
What kind of online courses cost $40 grand a year?? And are they within NCAA guidelines to pay for the education of a kid who isn't enrolled in their program?
Does this mean Derby comes back? :P
Part of me would love to see KOK take a shot elsewhere just because it would be interesting to see if his play calling changes. I'm in the camp that thinks KOK runs what Ferentz wants him to run.
Ferentz said in his presser that Jason agreed to come back for his fifth year. Can't remember the exact wording but it sounded like the coaches asked him to consider it.
I've met Jason. He's as good as they get. Any one of us would be proud to have him as our son and for that reason alone, I...
^ He really does! Wow.
Really nice video. It's nice to see a kid (at any school) who seems poised, humble, family oriented. Hope he has a great career at Iowa for the next five years.
I like this. It satisfies a lot of fan wishes. He's new blood, he has experience at the next level, he has BIG experience and he doesn't have any association with Penn State.
Wait a damn minute, is anyone else here most surprised about the "Yes" stunt in Kinnick? In a million years, I'd never have expected that from the good Captain. Maybe there's hope on the DC front too.
I hope AJ does well and gets his shot. It's too bad it didn't work out here for him but I agree, there's nothing worse than not going for what you really want. It'll suck to see him at Wisky (if that's true) but I hope he eventually ends his football career with no regrets.
My reaction would have nothing to do with PP himself. I'd be frustrated because we've lost an opportunity to get new blood on a coaching staff that feels stale. I'd be frustrated because something seems to need to change.
After the initial irritation, I'd be ok with it. Lots of players seem...
I've had the chance to meet DJ a few times. He's a super, super nice kid. Seems bright. He's articulate and polite. I'm always pulling for him to do well on the field. Being a Hawkeye doesn't mean you have to break all the records and have the biggest following on facebook. It means you study...
