Maybe if O'Keefe would have used a few different plays than the seven he uses most games.
Maybe if Ferentz had any passion whatsoever and the ability to establish a gameplan, other than what he has been using for the past 11 years. The man has no idea how to change anything, nor will he. He will change no coaches because they are all best friends and he values his friends more than the Iowa football program.
with a 10-year $4,500,000 contract the man is doing nothing and laughing all the way to the bank knowing Iowa can do nothing about even if they wanted to. Ferentz holds all the cards and he is not about to change one card...he will just continue making excuses...we are too young, that's football, and on and on and on.
The last 1 1/2 years have been absolutely pathetic. He has taken a diamond in the rough and turned that diamond into a mass of fragments.
Ohhh, but many on here will tell us how successful the year was because we get to go to some pi$$ant bowl and Ferentz, O'Keefe, and Norm can work their magic. Too bad they don't try working a little magic during the season.
Put Ferentz in a big game and he has no idea what to do...put him in a rivalry game and he curls up in ball with his conservatism. I would bet that man is afraid to walk home at night by himself...
