When is the last time Ferentz won a game by outcoaching the opp?

I posted this in a thread and was wondering if perhaps I am missing a game.

The last time I can point to Iowa winning a game by flat out outcoaching/outscheming the opposition is the Orange Bowl against G Tech. Can anyone think of a game since then?

Georgia Tech was because of Norm Parker.. The void of Norm is immense and this program is not the same since he left.

I agree. I'll still give that credit to KF. I'm talking the entire staff. It's all Kirk's good or bad.

The 3 time outs kicked butt. Kirk won the FG battle today. He's taking baby steps. Next week I hope we get the punting game going and then take it from there.

What are the telltale signs of outcoaching another ?

Well, I have about 500 examples but I'll use the easiest one right now. Getting outscored 78-16 in 2nd half of games over last 5 when leading at the half in 4 of those 5.

I would say that Iowa out-schemed/out-coached Minnesota this year. That's probably the last time Iowa has won a game specifically because of a schematic advantage more than because of a physical advantage.

I see what you're saying here. However I'd say if the offense wasn't able to execute that game plan to absolute 100% perfection, things could have been different. The offensive line imposed its will all day in that game.

2010 against Wisconsin.

If norm would have ran this 3rd and long defense, no one would have ever scored on us.

Also I think the drop off on defense was more about d line attrition than about norm being gone.

Oh you mean outcoached? Sometime during Bush's first term.

KF's idea of coaching to win is hoping the other team screws up.

 

[PCHawk]

Is that the one where the safeties just disappear on the long pass plays?

No its the one where our defense actually attacks and gets off the field sometimes.

Hey that plan actually worked last week. Before that it worked against Michigan in '09 too. Unfortunately its about 0 for 30 in the games between those 2.

this is pretty much his philosophy without a doubt.

 

[hawkdrummer1]

NEVER.

There were some games (like G Tech in the Orange Bowl) where Norm changed the game. But KFz can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag once the ball is kicked off.

We have one of the greatest assistant coaches in college football on our sideline. Unfortunately... we hired him as head coach.

The Hawks didn't win the game, but you could argue they out coached OSU.

Norm gets credit for the 2010 Orange Bowl. KF can take some credit for 2010 MSU, though MSU falling flat as a pancake had a lot to do with that. 2011 Michigan and 2012 MSU wins (and 2013 Northwestern) the team won in spite of KF.
The last time KF (and not a coordinator) outdid his opponent was either 2009 MSU or more probably 2008 PSU.

For sure the staff was great in that game. Iowa loses this year in the second half because good gameplanning cannot cover up for mediocre (and in the case of Iowa's offense below average) talent. Talent wins out and Iowa doesn't have nearly enough of it. All I can say is, thank god we don't play in a better conference.
