Just talked to a buddy, and is friends with the Luke Brewer, the tight end commit from Norwalk, and allegedly KF told he and his family he anticipates being there "at least for the next couple of years" which would be the end of his contract in 2027. Granted it could be a recruiting speech, but...

https://magazine.foriowa.org/story.php?ed=true&storyid=2552 Matt Bowen was the former player who was struggling with fatherhood. (Credit to Hawkeye Hypnosis for the link)

Watched it, and definitely shows what KF has done beyond the football field. I think Greenway speaking to how KF and staff showed up at his father's funeral unannounced to show respect. Can't remember what player it was but a former player struggling with his newborn being born on the spectrum...

Potentially another spot for Penn State to have to compete against for a coach. Awesome. LOL.

The saying "Careful what you ask for," bodes big here. We have been very blessed with KF and his staff building a culture and continuity. Iowa has an identity. Coaches when asked about Iowa laud them about their ability to do more with less and being a fundamentally sound team. Former...

Some of it is arrogance. Thinking that their program was so elite that it would be enticing to so many coaches. As Fry mentioned, someone like Matt Campbell (if he decided to jump ship) would be run out of town if he won 21 games over 3 years. Much like Nebraska, I think Penn State's fan base is...

I don't believe Penn State had any recruits sign early and have the currently 129th ranked recruiting class. (Iowa is #23?). Franklin has already flipped 7 recruits from Penn State to VaTech. Unless, they have some dark horse big name coach they are waiting to hire, things are only getting...

Meanwhile, Franklin is sitting back and watching this dumpster fire and laughing his ass off and poaching recruits left and right.

It's been such a cloak and dagger process with Penn State. All these potential coaches rumored but the question is, were they targeting a certain coach and waiting and it blew up in their face. OR was it every time they became serious about targeting a coach, they got extended or moved on...

Something broke in Lee when Ramos pinned him. He has never been the same in my opinion. That confidence or mental edge he had is gone. I will say he is still world class but when he gets caught, it's not a good outcome for him. He got thrown right to his back and was cooked.

Much like Castro, and Entinger, he is very versatile which is awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if he is returning punts next year. Kid is a ball hawk.

Hoping with Nebby and Wisconsin having their woes, we get some flips in commitments and start building a few super solid recruiting classes. I think Illinois has a solid class coming in. And of course with Indiana, tOSU, Michigan, and Oregon, we have plenty of competition for talent. Minny and...

I was perplexed by that move too. Was a helluva D-Coordinator and former stud for them. Would have thought that transition would have made much more sense. But Fickell was the shiny new object with his success at Cincy.

I don't disagree with either take. I would say the heat is more on Rhule. I'm guessing he met with the AD and did some damage control. One casualty was the D-Coordinator. I'm almost guessing Riola's uncle will leave on his own or be shown the door. However, I think the fan base is still living...

I hear the CEO of Crumble Cookie, an alum, is doing whatever it takes to keep the BYU coach there. Again, he has built a culture there, and recruits a specific type of player. BYU is formidable. It would be an interesting move for him. As for Rhule, I like him better than Pelini or Frost...

I can remember Joe Evans was a quarterback at Ames High School and chiseled out a pretty darn good career as a defensive end at Iowa. I believe now he is coaching D-line at Drake. Pretty awesome to see the fruits of these kids' labor show out. It's what KF's program is built upon. Seeing the...

Sounds like BYU's coach is now being rumored to Penn State. Interesting. Lane is taking his lumps in social media. But didn't Tulane's coach basically do the same thing? Shockingly Kirby Smart came to Kiffin's defense saying he was in a tough spot. In some ways, it's hypocritical to hold...

Nebby has made several bad moves in their coaching changes, but even more, much like aforementioned they have lost their identity and culture. You can't tell that to their delusional fanbase, or at least they will never admit it even though secretly they see it. The same has basically happened...

Agreed. I kinda figured somewhere like Texas Tech. Somewhere with a bit more pass happy offense to continue to develop. Granted, the memes that would come out of him going to Mahome's alma mater....oh boy. With his stock dropping as for a NFL prospect, I think it has also dropped in his...

That's pretty impressive where Iowa sits based upon who we recruit based upon talent. This goes to KF's system and his culture. You take a 2-3 star athlete and over four years develop him into an NFL draft pick. Iowa does it time and time again. You take the Vonnahme kid. A walk on or...
