The Jon Miller excuse list

[ArvadaHawk]

3 and 7 and fame a net sweep with Stanley up the gut. Where havent really done anything all game. And how many times were the announcers calling for BF to open it up.

starting in the 2nd qtr, i believe.

That 8-4 last year wasn't pretty even though it ended ok - beating Nebby...but it was messy

This team may be 6-6 and I've forgotten just how ugly 6-6 is.

Its one thing to go 6-6 or 7-5 and put up points and get outscored - but Iowa has a way of optimizing the fan's misery.

Don't forget his own personal excuse "I was a petulant child a couple seasons ago and that wasn't a good fit, but now I'm going to look down on anyone who is upset with this level of performance.

I wonder if the general outrage had anything to do with 2015 - it surely affected the CJB decision.

 

[Seth53]

Well, Jon seems to be laying into the offense and Kirk's going for 2 decision so far in the podcast. I wonder if he's starting to wake up? lol just kidding

I can't seem to find the podcast posted yet. Where do I look for it?

 

[cincyhawk]

I’m all in for change but won’t lie I’m worried about what happens when we do. Iowa has absolutely no room for error on the next hire!! It won’t happen for a couple years yet but it does make me pause wondering about the what if’s..

You can't really get worse than 6 - 6. You buy 3 wins a year.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

There is no excuse for today. None. You don’t freaking lose at home on Senior Day to a below average Purdue team. You just dont.

Today was absolutely embarrassing.

He was joking. Its not up yet. I'm sure Jon is having to dig hard to find a way to not be critical.

Jon's pod cast was pretty much on point. I would've liked him to bring up the 3rd and 9 QB draw though. That was more inexcusable than the going for two in my opinion.

Very good! I could almost picture Eye Brows saying that!

Feel free to add on

• What was your projection for this year?
• I predicted we would be 6-6 and that looks like the team we're getting
• We're one bad hire away from being Nebraska
• I know you don't want to hear it but sometimes it really is about execution
• Iowa has always been a team with very little margin for error under Ferentz

What else?

3 and 9 fake a jet sweep with a QB draw-1 block away from a long TD run...

 

[theboat]

and that's really the point....you can ALWAYS find an excuse or a reason or reasons for this or that. And you can't prove a negative, so you can't prove kirk "wrong" for something he didn't do. but folks....going for 2, down 9 points, with about a minute left in the game knowing that you needed to recover an onside kick and score another touchdown but if you missed the 2 point conversion to remain down by 9, you literally CAN NOT win? THAT is not a person I want coaching my program.

I would expect a 3rd grade volunteer coach (Mom because she loves her little guy) to understand that. I just don’t get it.
