Why keep Erb?

It does seem that trouble seems to follow him though. I stand by my earlier assertion that he should be involved in deciding who we offer at RB. I am sure they dig deeper than just the film, but seriously he either has some dumb luck or there is something to this.

I really don't think either coach is responsible for Greene, he was just good. A running backs coach can teach blocking and small things like that but you either have it or you don't. The question with Erb isn't so much how well he coaches backs as much as why he can't keep them here. its not that he is the reason they get in trouble but if they liked him more maybe he would be the reason they stay after getting into trouble

With all due respect, you are a moron. Jackson coached Greene to give him the ability to maintain his balance on that sick spin move he had against Purdue and Jackson coached the speed he had on those long runs and Jackson coached his strength to allow him to plow through tackles. It's all coaching. Hell, if Jackson would have coached him his senior year he would have not had any competition from LT on the Jets because his 40 time would be .2 faster and he would be way better at catching the ball out of the backfield.

Well for anyone with a decent logic train, it seems fairly obvious. I will agree however that logic, football and message board posters (Iowa’s especially) don’t go hand in hand.

That's right Chad, Iowa posters are by far the worst and most illogical in all the land. All other message boards are populated by a bunch of Mr. Spocks.

Naaah, probably not, but I used to think they were different....but alas they are not.
 
It's definitely not the coaches. 2 big ten championships. 4 top 10 finishes. 6 new year's day bowls. We just have bad kids. It's everywhere. We lose games because players can't execute our well-prepared gameplans. Like Penn St. Even though they were starting freshman corners we decided to run first. It was a genius game-plan but the players couldn't execute. Coaches can't follow kids all over the place. These kids come in and put on a face for the coaches. When really, they're just rotten underneath. These poor coaches get taken advantage of all the time by these dang kids. I think we should just quit recruiting all-together and just let kids who REALLY want to be here contact us. That way our poor coaches won't be taken advantage of. And it's not fair for fans to take shots to our poor coaches who've devoted their lives to putting an elite product on the field and for what? Just so you guys can tear them down? I've had enough of it. Nobody does more to protect the image of the U of I than this staff. We'll see how many of you are on board next Jan 1st during the Rose Bowl. Yeah, we'll be back. This staff has everything under control.

Ill tell you something funny about your sarcasm....during the K-st vs Arky game the announcers commented over and over and over how K-st was going against their trends and really trying to trick Arky. Worked good too.....worked so good, they tricked themselves right out of sync for the whole game....
　
Its okay though....its an easy deal. They'll call u tomorrow and you can set them straight.
　
 
Really this is very valid I forgot about the WR thing...when we lost DD and Bowman and all those wideouts...who was the coach? you guessed it, mr Erb.....hmmmmmmm

Legend has it Erb was the person who actually incorporated City Boyz, Inc. and the only reason he wasn't in the pictures with CBI was that Ferentz told him he didn't want a Eustachy situation on his hands. Of course that is only legend, so take it for what it's worth.

I 100% totally believe this
 
your position coach should be a reason you want to stay after getting in trouble. its not that Erb is the reason they are getting busted for things but for the most part people are chosing to leave AFTER they get in trouble. I think there is a very good chance Erb isn't making a strong enough impression on players to make them want to stick it out through minor adversity

First, I highly doubt that some of the guys who got in trouble at positions Erb coached were guys Ferentz would ever want back. Second, if I were an unpaid athletic cog in a multimillion dollar business enterprise and I felt like I didn't get a fair shake in something, no amount of coddling from a position coach would get the bad taste out of my mouth.

you're right on some, but most he would want back

Man, I hope you are being sarcastic here.

If not, just look at KSU's results with Snyder vs without him.

K state lost 30 games in a row before he got there. Won 5 games 3 times in 30 years. He win 11 games 6/7 seasons. Only the 2nd coach in history to do that. And resurrected the program twice. Clearly he's just a gimmick coach who gets lucky a lot.

I wasn't talking about any player in particular. I said most that left had minor adversity and should have wanted to stick it out. again I'm not saying any one in particular had minor adversity
