I am so disappointed in this coaching staff

Agree 100%. I find it easier to talk to my 1st grader and toddler, after an afternoon of posting. That's message boards, but we all acknowledge this and continually come back every day.

14 starters back. An all-Big Ten QB and an All-American corner coming back. Two of our three starting linebackers. Two excellent defensive linemen coming back. Two proven running backs, and an OL rated number 1 in the country. All the momentum in the world coming off of a Big Ten West Division championship. What does our coaching staff do? Here is what they did:

1. While other teams were getting better, we come in with a "pat" hand. No new schemes and no development of new wide receivers.
2. Unlike Michigan, no plan or scheme to play our best player (King) on offense.
3. No changes to the offense. None.
4. No imaginative blitz packages. No aggression on defense. None. If you want to see imaginative blitzes, watch Michigan. Harbaugh is doing it with Hoke's players from 2 years ago.

Bottom line, I've completely lost interest in this team this year. It's not the players, it's the coaching staff. I give our coaching staff a grade of D this year. In all honesty, the worst coaching job of the Ferentz era. Greg Davis is a lazy, old coach who needs to go. His offense plays with no confidence because they don't believe in the coach or the schemes.

It is depressing and disappointing. I apologize in advance for being so negative, but the facts are the facts. In many ways, this is the most disappointing Iowa team I can ever remember, going back 53 seasons of Iowa football that I have witnessed.

My heart breaks for Beathard, King and the rest of the seniors. They deserved more from their staff this year.

I see a 6 and 6 season and a mediocre bowl game in our future this year. Ferentz received all of the praise last year (and deservedly so), so now he deserves all of the blame. He should be ashamed of the job he did this year as head coach. Where is the sense of urgency??? I don't get it, I really don't.

You should visit his profile and read all of his posts. They'd quickly occupy your top 10 dumbest posts on this site. You have to give him credit... at least he's consistent.

And Joshua Jackson would somehow be a step up?

You're right! He's a game changer, lol....He totally 'changed' the game when he went for the half-ass strip attempt instead of a solid tackle. I'm surprised someone didn't blame it on Bower, lol..........
 
Lol,
I was having coffee with two HS coaches,two college refs and three guys that played college football and they said you guys don't understand any of the blocking scheme's or the play calling.Your all uninformed.Go Hawks

Question: how many points were scored on that drive? Why?

What's funny is that you seem to have a disdain for the play of the two best players on defense (Jewell and King). You attack them more than anyone else on the defense and you pump up Bower. Then you call yourself the most knowledgeable poster on this site (which is Trump level absurdity). Yet, King and Jewell will both be in the NFL. Do you think you know more than NFL scouts and GM's? Why wouldn't they be looking at Bower if Bower if playing better than Jewell? Why won't Bower get drafted in front of Jewell? Is it because no one out there knows as much as you do about football and they just don't have a clue? Orrrrrr is it because you don't have a freaking clue?

Hmmmmm. Mind blowing stuff right here Icke. Simply mind blowing.
 
Great post OP. I too am disappointed in the coaching staff performance this year. I have not given up hope yet on season and hope the coaches can still get this done in a positive way for a good ending to a so far disappointing season. GD has to go or we will always rely on defense alone to keep us in ball games. Go Hawks and Go Coaches, let's gitrdun Saturday in a pivotal game.

See, you just showed how fricken dumb you are and that you lack simple cognitive abilities. You 'children' think emotionally, instead of logically. I have no disdain for Jewell or King and have never expressed any. You simpletons are always finding a scapegoat to blame (it's Bower this year) and attempt to 'prove' he should not be out there because of this and that. I simply prove you wrong, and point out that even our best players have made mistakes that have been as much or more costly than things Bower has done. It's fact, people, the tape doesn't lie. If someone points out the errs in your childish, emotional 'opinions', you always jump to some dramatized exaggeration of what is being said. Who ever said Bower was better than Jewell? See? Now go take your medicine, try to grow up, and work really hard on reading comprehension and rationalization.......

I haven't seen the coaching staff on the field once this year? The coaching staff can't play for the kids, and the kids have not executed well at all this year. And when your 3 best players have not gotten better (King and CJ have regressed and Jewell is about the same) is that on the coaches? It's always an interesting question....Most on here will blame the coaches, but most of the posters on message boards are complete idiots. Of course, I am the exception.....
