You will rarely see a recruit come in as advanced as Tate. Iowa had very good luck with three new quarterbacks in three years in 2002 - 2004. I don't think KOK gets enough credit for quickly adapting three very different quarterbacks to Iowa's system.
Tate might have hit a bit of a plateau 2005, but it was a frustrating year all around. Tate's production numbers by the end of the year were fairly good, but there were a lot of problems. The offensive line wasn't very good so Tate was running for his life much of the time. Good thing he was good at it. I think we would have remembered the 2005 season differently if Ed Hinkel wasn't out for the Michigan and Northwestern games.
2006 was a complete mess with Tate getting injured in a hay bail throwing contest prior to the start of the season. The wide recievers were very green. Iowa's defense was riddled with injuries and couldn't get off the field.

As special assistant to KOK David Raih played a key role in teaching Drew Tate the Iowa offense. Raih is also back with the program this year as a graduate assistant.

A few stats to the point about conservativism...
...........Rushes.......Passes.........QB runs........Run %
2004......428............385..............103...........52.6%
2005......436............404..............55.............51.9%
2006......432............423..............58.............50.5%
Adjusted for QB runs (assuming QB runs were scrambles and also assuming no designed runs, which is slightly flawed, I know)...
...........Rushes.......Passes.........Run %
2004......325............488...........40.0%
2005......381............459...........45.4%
2006......374............481...........43.7%
Interesting that in 2006, when you've got backups at QB starting/playing 2 full games that you actually throw the ball more when you've got 2 extremely capable backs behind them in Young and Sims...
Everything is going to look conservative when compared to 2004. Sam Brownlee, while a good story, was never in the plans to start and play extensive minutes as a starting B10 RB.

From what I read, Raih is pretty much ready to be a position coach. If it fit into the scheme of things, I'm sure they would be glad to have him at Iowa. It can't hurt to learn a new system under Greg Davis.

As your numbers just showed, that isnt the case.
40/60 run pass ratio (2004) isnt that far away from a 44/56 run pass ratio (2006).

Correct. That's about 3 runs instead of passes every game (3 more runs and 3 less passes)...but I would think that people realize that in terms on non-conservativism (word?), 2004 is basically the benchmark of the Ferentz era, at least. People can draw conclusions off of that.
I just wanted to put the facts to paper...I really don't have a dog in the fight either way.

I'm sure Raih (like Levar Woods was) is a coach in waiting.
