Let’s review our recent HS QB recruits. Hogan Padilla Mansell Lainez Labas None of these recruits saw any appreciable game minutes, despite very poor play by the starting QBs over the last few years.. My question is: Are Kirk/Staff very poor judges of HS QB talent? or Is this disappointing...

https://theathletic.com/5244873/2024/02/02/bill-belichick-nfl-coaching-falcons-patriots/?source=email&campaign=8940350 Interesting article regarding Belichick's NE departure. Can see some similarities with Ferentz' situation.

Perhaps AI is a potential solution for the play-calling aspect of the Iowa OC role Kirk sets the desired strategy, tactics and parameters. During the game AI algorithms instantly determine the optimum play call based on all available parameters. Takes much of the emotional element out of the...

I think most would agree on MN as the worst loss. So, best win?

I think it is obvious that the entire offense needs to be burned down and start over. Top to bottom. New OC New Assistants New Recruiters New Roster Managers New Players New Scheme I don't see anything worth retaining.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39156339/michigan-receives-ncaa-notice-allegations-recruiting-violations This has become a farce. At what point does Michigan get a real penalty besides Harbaugh sitting out a few games?

Watched both games. Pretty good football games. I really believe they have better offensive talent than Iowa.

Tory Taylor. Won more games with his performance than anyone else on the team. Plus it’s a perfect exclamation point for this season.

Hoping to condense a few of the portal threads into one for easier reference going forward. Who's leaving? What do we need? Who's on our radar? NC Hawker has provided this link for reference. https://www.on3.com/college/iowa-hawkeyes/transfer-portal/wire/football/2024/

Washington wins the first spot in CFB Playoffs. If MI wins, they're in. FSU wins they're in. If Texas wins, and Alabama beats Georgia, who gets the last spot?

Who made the call to insert Meeder on the final FG? Woods or KF? And what is up with Stevens? 3 blocked kicks in last two games. Kickoff OB? Is he injured or just the yips?

What will Kirk's next move be? No matter how much he may want to, resigning in protest would cost him millions. UI doesnt want to fire him for many reasons, not least of which it is the millions of $ remaining in his contract. A negotiated settlement to resign at year-end?

What is the problem with our OL? It once was Iowa's strength. It is supposed to be Kirk and Brian's area of expertise. Yet it is a glaring weakness. Recruiting? Development? Scheme?

Was that the worst offensive output in Iowa history?

He was clearly not 100% in the ISU game. We should be able to beat WMU with our backup(s). Saves McNamara from a full game of hits and allows for some more rehab time. Also gives our backups some PT which could be valuable going forward.

With NIL, transfer portal and the 'new' B10 additions, it is very possible this could be Kirk's last year. We have a favorable schedule in the last year of the B10 West. A possible championship game appearance might be just the exit he wants.
