Definitely a great analysis and read from Vint but we are left with the following possibilities... My optimism is lacking. 1. If Davis is given the reigns on offense we still may be lacking specific talents (speed, etc.) to effectively run it. 2. If it continues to be Kirk's way then Davis, at...

It may not appear blocked but I'm guessing when it comes to game time the feed of espn3, via watchespn will be blacked out. Awesome.

I agree though I'd debate that it'd take a couple of years for him to establish himself as a program builder... isn't that why we hired him in the first place, because of his history as a program builder? That said we're all pessimists due to the last 10 years or so of the program so I...

Well played sir...

Get well Dolph! x10

On that note I remember him stating that he also hates "system" as a way of coaching. He is much more interested in having plays that he can install at any point but letting the game dictate how it is played. It's such a sharp contrast to last year it's going to take time but I'm very...

Jon, do you have any inclination that he would pick one position over the other (was he QB/LB at City)? IF (note the stress here) CJF matures as expected and our incoming TE recruits pan out also it seems like LB might be a better bet for him... that or we'll be well stacked at TE.

How from "after" do you derive "during"... ?

Err... I didn't see it. I guess I've never looked at Arnaud as a huge threat rather that ISU had some/a good receivers (Blythe). That said he didn't look good against NIU... his passes lacked touch, and as you said was forced into making bad decisions. Given our D-Line I feel pretty good...

Did I hear that correctly? Derby to stay at QB (as far as KF knows)?

Another issue... I believe that the BCS standing is equally tied to the member institutions, not just the conference. There was a report somewhere, sorry no link, that a core of (I believe 8) teams who have played together for 2 or more years needs to be retained. Even with 12 teams in a "Big...

You would think with the issues surrounding receiving state funds for athletics that, as much as they would like to, they wont be able to throw bags of money at the next guy.

Philly and NY are great... the problem I have is that he doesn't get kids with other big offers. Not to say that he can't now that he is at a bigger school, but if he isn't used to competing for these kids... thats part of it right?

Thanks, this is what I was looking for... and based on that "yikes".

Yeah, no, the question of the stipulation was just conjecture. I get nobody has that information. The real question was whether or not he currently has decent recruiting ties or assistants who do... or if he'll have to completely re-staff to come to Iowa.

So, I don't know much about the guy beyond his record and history. Does he have recruiting ties? **Do we have a stipulation that he hire a recruiting coordinator? It'd be nice to hear he has something here. ** note conjecture / brainstorming / curiosity.

Actually I think he nailed it, BJ has no more coaching experience than TA... compared to say Tubby Smith who is one of the currently coaching greats. I mean, this is insane.

+1... Internet slander is an amazing thing.

I'm sorry but for everyone going into meltdown mode because we don't have an answer after 10 days... this is kind of nuts. Do you all realize that many of the "top" names being floated are still competing at some level or have recently bowed out? I would hope that any elite coach wouldn't drop...
