How did it start?

[HomerChampless]

Saying that a change from GD to BF starting next season, IMO, makes no sense.

Some posters have this irrational animosity towards GD. Iowa posters cite disgruntled Texas posters of GD's offense. Let me make this clear: Iowa posters were complaining about GD as OC before he had called any offense at Iowa.

Then there are other anti-GD posters who prefer the traditional (they call it consistent) pro-style offense that is primarily an I Back running offense with some PA passes sprinkled in. They don't like the increased passing or spread tendencies that GD's offense can have at times. They don't like what GD's Iowa offense has become.. a more efficient passing offense than the pro-style offense.

These other anti-GD posters aren't convinced BF is the answer as OC but they have enough prejudices against GD to want him gone. So many prejudices, in fact, that when statistics showing the effectiveness of GD's offense are provided, these anti-GD's look for, for example, softness of opponents' defenses.

How did the echo chamber of Brian Ferentz as the next Offensive coordinator start? Who started it? and I ask why are people still grabbing a hold of it?

While I'm ranting here are a few more things that I want to mention because I missed Fetivus this year.

1) Bob Stoops is not going to come to Iowa. drop it.
2) Bret Belima is not going to come to Iowa. drop it.
3) They are not going to paint the water tower. drop it.
4) Nobody knows what the Troy Stross thread was about. drop it.

Can Coker still redshirt, though?

Don't dismiss the Les Jepsen to OC talk.

I think Bielema would like nothing more that to coach Iowa against Wisconsin and Iowa State. A 4 million salary would be nice to.

Here's BB's contract. Feel free to try to find any language allowing him to exit for Iowa. BTW, was not able to 'search' the document for words.

I have no life, I read pretty much the whole thing.

Although obviously there is no special Iowa out clause, looks like if he leaves today it's just a 2 and a half million dollar buyout. That's a lot of money for a Joe Schmo like me but peanuts to the Iowa athletic department.

I agree with op on all points except water tower. It's getting painted if I have to do it myself
