With season in the balance, we throw to Herman & White?

For the KOK apologists who defend this guy every year when our offense sputters and underperforms, what is your excuse for the insanity we witnessed yesterday? Here's a clue for our clue LESS coaching staff---we have to score 30 to have a chance at winning because our defense is bad. I am not going to rip the D because they have carried the water for years. The one year we need the O to step up against an abyssmal team, KOK goes completely brain dead.

If KF won't change his coordinators, then he needs to move on.
 
With the game on the line, we go completely away from McNutt and even KMM.
Let's throw it to two guys who never get the ball thrown to them. Surely they will make a play and everyone will say I'm a genius. KOK
 
I thought they might run it a few times. 2:30 to go. Clock stops on first downs. Only need 45-50 yards for a legit FG.

This staff continues to struggle with late game clock management and the 2 minute drill.
 
With the season in balance, this coaching staff will become even more conservative and even more predictable...change...too risky.
 
Even if Iowa changed coordinators the new coordinators would still have do exactly what Ferentz wants them to do...New coordinators would quickly become Ken O'Keefe and Norm Parker clones. Nothing would change. TOO RISKY.
 
Don't forget that Shumpert was in for the injured Davis for the first time since Pitt I believe instead of Skaggs which was another head-scratcher to me.
 
I don't mind Vandy throwing the ball to Herman and White, they were all catchable balls that should have been caught.

What I mind is Brad Herman and Jason White being in the game in the first place.
 
This is nothing new. KOK has a history of insane play calling. He is like a high school coach that thinks he can trick the defense by not doing the obvious. He does with Coker, McNutt, the TE's. He will continue to do it until the Hawks have slid into the pre-Haden Fry days. We have become Northwestern of the 80"s.

What a ******* joke. You clearly have no clue how an offense works. We were running five wide. We had several receivers running a variety of different routes attacking a variety of different levels. It's up to the QB to read the coverage identify the open guy, and make a good throw. It's not like KOK sits around designing ways to get Meyer or White the ball.

This post is a perfect example of why someone who doesn't really understand foorball, and probably drives a truck for a living, has no business trying to analyze things or criticize the staff.
 
My favorite KOK play call ever was the 97 step drop on 3rd & 3.
That was awesome.
Running back was only averaging 23 miles per carry, so it made sense.

You can't make up crap that he does that would be more bizarre.
 
Give him a break. He only has 500 or so posts. He needs another several thousand to be qualified to post. Can't everyone see that he is unqualified to give his own opinion?

Mine was throwing the WR screen to McNutt on the short side of the field on a 3rd and 7. Let's expect McNutt to break 3 tackles instead of attempting to throw the ball past the sticks. Nice.

And everyone in the stadium expected the ball to go to McNutt.

This was my thought as well, I'm no football expert but with almost 3 min left in the game and needing a field goal to tie why didn't they at least attempt to run the ball. Non of this should have even been a problem because our D should have never given up the yards they did especially on the ground.
 
Brad Herman must have sustained an unreported concussion earlier in the year...I've never seen a senior tight end perform so poorly. This season he's missed/dropped several passes and been whistled for some boneheaded penalties...just doesn't seem like he's with it mentally.

Duff, perhaps you can use your talents as a Super Bowl winning coach to explain to all of us idiots as to why we went to a five wide set. When we knew they were going to blitz, we know our quarterback can't pick up the blitz, and especially when it is 3rd and ten. I know that a football no nothing like Podolak was beside himself trying to figure out what the hell we were trying to do on that last drive, and I am sure that it makes perfect sense to have Jason White on the field on the biggest drive of the game when he doesn't sniff the field any other time.

Oh, and by the way, you might want to go see how much money many truck drivers make before you go making yourself look like a total ******* by putting down people in that profession.
 
my concern was that the one time this year I think we can run right over the top of someone (almost 200 yards rushing by coker in the first half), we were passing. I think it should have just kept running all day long. If we had we would have won by a couple touchdowns or more. so frustrating

You are the one who has their head in the sand. So if I don't know what I am talking about, then I guess Eddie P. doesn't either. No coach in their right mind throws THREE times to guys who are at best bit players on the offense. BTW, we should have never been in that predicament in the first place if we don't get outcoached in all phases of the game (again).

Your posts are laughable (in all sports) and show your lack of sports IQ. Accusing me of driving a truck? Nice touch champ.

Excellent post. Anyone who is out there working for a living has my respect and is certainly entitled to their opinion. Without truck drivers, the store shelves would be empty.
