Kirk on Iowa's last drive

Kirk and staff did not have this team tuned up for this level of intensity. And or the talent does not measure up. It was said prior to last season that Iowa's recruiting had hit a 10-year low. Maybe this is what that looks like.

Yeah I blame the coaches people in the know on the call in show indicated that this team wasn't ready Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I'd say that's on KF's ARSE. Thanks Gary Barta for getting bent over like Pulp Fiction character. Really disappointed in the coaching effort and kids. When you have -9 rushing and get outgained by an embarrassing amount it' pathetic. IT was a total collapse of preparation and participation. Embarrassing.

The difference was better coaching. We have more talent by far. Everything they do makes sense.

F*ck him. Go back to the game vs Mizzou. O'Keefe calling the plays. Third down and short. Everyone, save for me, expecting a run. Mizzou stacks box. O'Keefe calls play action and almost scores. You have to run play action on first down. The D will sell out to run. Always. This team is so horribly coached it isn't funny.

That waggle play is still in the playbook. They used it earlier in the game to Kittle. I thought GD was going to dial something up that series, maybe he did and Iowa simply didn't execute.

Yes.
 
I blame this loss equally on the defense. They dominated time of possession 36-24 . There was almost no chance we were stopping them that last drive. Knowing this why play conservatively on offense. LSD wasn't running very well all day. Beathard was playing well, even with the drops.

Q. I think people everywhere were saying no matter what North Dakota State’s pedigree, you have no business losing this game. What would you say?

KIRK FERENTZ: I’d say we lost to a really good football team today. It’s as simple as that. I think anybody that was in the stadium today realized that’s a good football team. They play hard. They’re tough. They’re physical. They believe in themselves. They’ve been doing it for quite a while, but we played the 2016 team, and they were the better team than us today.

The challenge for us now is to — we got a feel for what it’s like, and we’re going to have to push forward here because we’re going to play more good teams this year.

This one made me laugh.

This is actually a really big problem and not worth $4.5 per year.

It's a non-answer, and any other major college football program in the country would call him out for an answer like this. But not Iowa, because the press is in mortal fear of losing their access. Hlas just wrote an entire column mocking and asking for answers from...the Iowa FANBASE. Like it's them making $4.5M a year. But Allah forbid you ask KF or GB much of anything and expect an answer.
 
Nenraska's coach just now: "Fortune favors the bold."

And it punishes the scared.

Seriously. I'm so goddamn sick of Kurt's playing from fear.

I would have asked: "Do you think it's okay or acceptable that the better team, today, was the FCS team?"

So Kirk says the above about NDSU. Isn't this what he should be instilling in the Hawkeyes? Cause to say that about another team who beat you seems to indicate that while other teams do this, you(Kirk) aren't. The last drive was inexcusable on the part of coaches and players.

Get the Gimp.
 
Phil Parker's D IQ reminds me of a dementia patient in a nursing home. He couldn't stop Mich. State on 1 drive. He couldn't stop Stanford on any drive. He couldn't stop Miami OH who is winless. For all of you that think PP has things figured out. Think again.
 
You folks are hilarious....I've told you over and over that CJ is slow on his reads, is not that accurate, etc.....And we saw it today. He made 'about' 4 plays and the rest of the day he totally sucked in his 'reads', his progressions, and his accuracy. They STACKED THE BOX betting that CJ couldn't beat them (because they saw what I saw) and he was embarrassing. WE DIDN'T GO 12-0 LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF CJ.....GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS!!! We won those games because we won the turnover battle (we split the TO battle, but they scored points off ours), we won because we dominated on the ground (see NW, etc....), we won because we stopped the run (we aren't this year and it ain't because of Bower...) etc.... 'Your' Heisman QB is not that 'good', in fact Stanley looked better than him (which is hard for me to say, because I said he should RS) and the 'ball' (plays) didn't 'bounce' are way today........When you folks come to 'terms' with how 'average' CJ is, then you will get realistic about what Iowa can do.. I called out to the people I was watching the game with what NDSU was doing and what Iowa 'needed' to do, and they did a couple times (that worked), but CJ was horrible in executing some of it.........Even his pick 6, Kittle 'signals' that he's 'hot' because they're blitzing off the edge (watch the replay), but CJ just stands around and STARES down a receiver and 'hands' the ball to a defender..........I expect everyone to stack the box but play 2 high, because CJ can't beat them.....you guys MAY get it by the end of the year.........
