I have a close friend that worked for the Hawks for 3 years (2008-2010) and he said that Erb was a big tool. Nobody really liked him and he chose to not be liked by the way he treated players and those "beneath" him. Do you really wonder why the attrition rate was so high with WR and then RBs when he switched. I was told he was not as bad as Kaz, but he was second worst.
And yet he was there for 13 years.... don't you just have to wonder?
Bleacher Report... The gold standard in sports journalism.
What is the deal with all the Bleacher Report links?
Not really. If there's one thing we know about Ferentz... is he hates change. He'll stubbornly beat the same horse to death...until everyone around him is screaming for a change.
I think he is either the most unlucky position coach or the worst position coach on the staff. Look at the positions he has been in charge of and what as happened to those positions under his charge. Wr's, RBs and special teams. All have had terrible results for the most part while he was associated with each position while he was there.
I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between but we will never know the truth.
Eric Johnson should be the next one to go. First class rube and Kurt wants him to be the face of the program when it comes to recruiting - WTF?
The real problem in the program is KF...... he has simply lost all control. Complete disarray...whats the latest on Wilson?
We all know Kaz is a 5-star tool, and he was on staff for how long? Kirk must have all-world tolerance for douchbaggery. Either that or he has no clue what's really going on in the program...
This time it is in the coaching ranks. Just heard from reliable source that Erb is no longer on the coaching staff at Iowa. Has not been around for a few weeks.
Source is relative who told me that Soup left before it was announced.
FWIW
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. But does anybody think the position coaches leaving has anything to do with Davis staying on staff? Soup and Erb have both been in the program for a while, worked under Davis for one year and is now gone, and both appear to be voluntarily leaving. I highly doubt its Kirk running these guys out of town. My wager would be on it having something to do with Davis.

I think these coaching changes absolutely have something to do with Greg Davis. I don't think it's a case of Greg telling Kirk that he can't work with these guys and they have to go. I think it's more about Greg opening Kirk's eyes to the problems that he sees and laying down the law for his offense.
It's supposed to roll off the top dammit!
