I thought so too. But the data doesn't seem to support that:

TE production during the Greg Davis era:
2016: 32 rec, 389 yds, 5 TD
2015: 56 rec, 705 yds, 7 TD
2014: 40 rec, 445 yds, 5 TD
2013: 49 rec, 569 yds, 8 TD
2012: 60 rec, 547 yds, 2 TD

TE production during last 5 years of KOK era:
2011: 39 rec, 411 yds, 5 TD
2010: 52 rec, 631 yds, 2 TD
2009: 45 rec, 526 yds, 5 TD
2008: 58 rec, 785 yds, 6 TD
2007: 37 rec, 409 yds, 8 TD

Average TE production under Davis: 47 rec, 531 yds, 5.4 TD

Average TE production under KOK: 46 rec, 552 yds, 5.2 TD

Nice research. Wonder what it looked like against conference competition.

I agree that firing those other two made it a completely clean break from Davis. That's the thing about KF he's certainly loyal. Firing people isn't something he wants to do. There's a reason that 'circle of trust' phrase isn't just a phrase with him. Jon Miller had talked about that for a long time that once your in that with him your in. He wants your leaving to be on your terms as much as possible. Outside those two and coach Kaz how many coaches has he fired? I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
I felt bad for Keenan Davis. That's a guy who we should have gotten more out of too. Football is just a tough game. It's just about impossible to have an experienced senior lead team top to bottom. Be it attrition or injuries there's just about always something keeping Iowa from having consistently great years. Depth is probably the biggest issue. We can usually put a pretty good solid first group out there. But if a player or two goes down on the Oline or RB or receiver not to mention QB it'll turn into a crap shoot of what to expect.

100% correct!!!
