Everyone wants to fire GD, why does Phil Parker get a pass?

[1hawkifan]

Just saying??

 

[desihawk]

Just saying??

Perhaps because Iowa scoring defense is ranked 29 for one.

I have been calling for Phil's head all year.

Everytime Norm was sick this joker would take the defense over and it would suck!

Now we just suck every game except a rain storm in East Lansing

The D cannot be relied on to WIN a game as in produce a stop when it counts. But they aren't the reason Iowa is plumbing the depths this season. Additionally, the D is responsible perhaps for as many as 25% of the points Iowa has put up!

Not only that, but when the offense goes three and out every other drive, it's actually quite the feat.

 

[busabus114]

The defense and defensive game plan is just as inept as the offense

Tanner Miller is the worst safety in the Big 10 wow

 

[hawkdrummer1]

Iowa is #106 in total offense, #102 in scoring offense And we've look absolutely pathetic in the process.

Iowa is #51 in total defense. #29 in scoring defense.

NCAA football stats


That's why.

Our defense was man handled by Michigan, Central Michigan, Penn State, Northwestern, Purdue and Indiana

Also Steal Janz missed about 5 Td passes we should have been blown out of that game.

We are a joke out there today. Our safety play is sad

 

[iahawks912]

He doesn't have the personnel GD has...

 

[pistons]

4 Drives for Michigan and 4 Td's

Phil Needs to put his house up for sale tomorrow morning. Maybe him and GD can get a deal if they hire the same company.

Gary Barta needs to demand changes in the staff!!!!!!!!!!

Iowa does **** on defense that never happened with Norm Parker. They play soft yet get beat over the top all the time. Also rplayers like Tanner Miller have no business playing Division 1 football, many others as well.

No argument. But the offense is even worse...so by comparison Parker's D is average.

Surprised you are limiting that to only the B10.

Hell he might be the worst in the state of Iowa,in all colleges

Today is evidence that the D is a bigger problem overall. Doesn't really matter what the overall scoring stats say.

This is pretty much it

Yeah the defense isn't great of course - but nice knee jerks though


That's why.

Our defense in the BIGGER problem?

You gotta be kidding me - ya the defense is getting killed today.

But to say the defense is the bigger problem

Is... well.... dumb

Disagree, bigtime. The D looks porous today, no doubt.

But there is no more important stat than scoring.

Next week there is going to be 40,000 people wearing red in Kinnick and we are going to get beat like it's 1975!
