Wadley/Davis-Ironic

Did Wadley get enticed to return if Davis were fired or retired? I think the phone rang with the news and Wadley decided right there. He took a lot of pounding due to the poor play calling from Davis. Now no matter who is the OC, he's gonna be excited to return.
 
I wonder too if GD's departure did weigh in on Akrum's decision to stay. It would have been on my mind if I was in his shoes.
 
Whoever the OC may be, I just hope he can put together at least a serviceable passing attack. Looking back on the season, Wadley and Daniels had good seasons running into 8-9 man fronts most of the year. Thinking about what Wadley could do with the returning lineman against defenses that have to respect the guys on the outside is fun to ponder. We've seen what he can do with just a little space.
 
Just a run of the mill average passing attack would do wonders for the running game. If we simply had an offense near the middle of the 128 team pack we'd likely be a real top 15 team. So getting just an average coordinator would be heads and shoulders above what we've lived with for 5 years now, well below avg.
 
I wanted Davis gone as much as the next guy, but Wadley turned from a low recruited RB to a guy who had to weigh his decisions on whether or not to leave early for the Pros his junior year and was used in the rushing and passing game. Why on earth would he want any sort of change?

Yes, Wadley I am sure thought he could have touched the ball another 200 times this past year but he also knew Daniels was a big part of pounding the other teams front 8. All you have to do is watch the rushing attack on video against Michigan where Daniels just gave crushing hit after crushing hit behind the hits by the offensive line and Wadley dished out the hits but also broke a few ankles. Same thing happened against Ilinois and Nebby at the end of the year.

Wadley knew if he came back he would get his touches.

I shake my head when I read this. Sometimes I think posters don't know all that much about KF or choose to ignore things about KF. At any rate, it will depend on KF whether Wadley gets his touches. Wadley will have to overcome KF bugaboos like committing turnovers and maintaining a respectable weight. It doesn't matter to the offensive genius, KF, if Wadley is the best offensive player on the team.

Hope he learns the plays of the new OC.
 
According to a friend, Wadley said he would stay if GD departed.



friend, knows a guy who works with a woman who's spouse works in the Athletic department catering department.

I think Wadley lost one fumble this year and with Daniels graduated Wadley will be the main running back. Sure KF can be a stubborn blockhead at times but as things are right now Wadley can run and catch.
 
To believe that AW decided to return (when he could just as well gone pro) because GD is gone is just stupid.. Going pro was not AW's best move. period.

I think you don't know as much about KF as you think you do. But then, you've never been the brightest bulb on the string anyway.

Like I posted before, it doesn't matter to KF if Wadley is the best offensive player Iowa has, it only matters if Wadley doesn't fumble and gains weight. To think some coach other than KF runs Iowa's offense would be a foolish notion. I've already pointed to KF's 'geniusness' when it comes to offense...not.
