Go away Kirk, please for the love of god go away.
Absolutely disgusting game management
- Thread starter IowaHOCKS23

I was saying this in the game thread but will say it here too. We had plenty of time. Time was never, nor would it have ever been an issue on that drive. We were at mid field with a minute left and 3 timeouts. A 2 minute drill couldn't be more perfect than that. Beth Mowens sounded like an idiot to anyone who understands how much time you need to score from mid field.

I would say something but it wouldn't do any good.Very Frustrating to watch.
Come on OP. I want to hear your opinion on what Kirk did wrong there. If he would have hurried faster, Minnesota would have still had time to score after our drive stalled. And when you're Iowa, after a 15 yard penalty you're drive is officially stalled. We can barely get 10 yards on 3 downs. How the hell will we get 25?

You're right, Iowa under KF will never get 15 yards in 3 plays because we will never try
You mean 25 right?

No I mean 15, 25 would make KF cower under the benches in the fetal position
Lol true.

Kirk has successfully taught the apologists that when you have 2 minutes and 3 timeouts you should expect not to score. Then when you don't score you've proven your play-calling ability. It doesn't make sense . . . but then neither do the apologists.

Sarcasm or just stupid?

The penalty was the issue. There was plenty of time to use 3 tos.
KF has had some huge clock management issues in his tenure. This wasn't really one if them. We were at the 50 with 1 minute.

from the book of KFz:
Offense: The unit designated to control the ball while your defense rests. Scoring, optional.

The problem is without the penalty he was still going to screw it up with no hurry up offense and mismanaging his timeouts. Everyone knows it. Time to climb on board the reality train.
The end of both halves were the same. Kirk couldn't get the first down. This is his M.O. Our offense was 63rd in scoring BEFORE today! We'll probably drop to 73rd now. He sucks at offense. This will never change and deep down you know it.

Our offense isn't good, and KF has had clock management issues throughout his tenure. Both of those things are true and I've never denied either. Not even trying to get a 1st down at the end of the game was frustrating, and could have ended badly. Thankfully it didn't.
That said, the clock management at the end of the first half was not an issue. At 50, 1 minute, and 3 timeouts.
Thank you. I started to think either everyone was dumb or I was. You can't just say "kirk screwed up clock management again" and then say "well he screws it up every other time so he must have this time too". Terrible logic. And now it's "well he would have for sure screwed it up later anyways" which is more than likely true. But it's irrelevant in the argument that he screwed up already.
And another thing. Whether you score or not is not a deciding factor on whether you "screwed up" clock management. It's a factor on whether your offense sucks or not. But it's not a factor on clock management.
Little summation on game management.
Cirk v Rutgers = 14-7
Harbaugh v Rutgers = 71-0
This game management conversation was only based on how Kirk handled the 2 minute drill. Quit expanding it into how good of an overall coach he is. You might as well say "Kirk screwed up the 2 minute drill today because he lost to an FCS team".
