I agree with you, and was surprised that JH didn't get into the game sooner. He needs game reps. I would have made the move if I were the HC. That said, Anon1751543574 may be close to KF's reasoning. Iowa only had the ball twice in the 3rd quarter and didn't pass on its first possession. Most of the plays in Grono's one 4th quarter series were passes. It works as an explanation, but that's different from defending it.
Two things KFz doesn't manage well. QBs and the clock.
Criticism is not hate. FFS. Grow up.
The rust? He missed one quarter of football against Indiana.
There was a guy on the other site a few years ago who claimed he knew “all about” the company where I worked for 40 years, and the nefarious things they do. He belittled me when I corrected him.
Which reinforces my point and also what a dipsh*t you are. I don't "hate" KFz. I'd suggest nobody on this site does.
I concede that I should not have used that term
Fair enough.
The fact that I had to tell you to chill for swearing at a poster, and telling him to grow up, reinforces my point
You criticize posters on this board all the time. What good does that accomplish?
Perhaps not much good.
Crazy right. And yet thats exactly what we see on sites like this one about coaches for these athletic teams. You'd think they all got there jobs handed too them and they have no idea what the hell their doing if you took some of these posters seriously. Like these schools are paying these coaches millions while in truth their not really qualified to have those jobs, while there are countless posters who have never coached at any level close to this one, but yet they no WAY more on how to manage the clock, what plays to call, etc..EVERY play they call works to perfection on the whiteboard. Its the unknowns from the players for both teams that make the play successful or not. Does a lineman miss his block. Does the defender make a great athletic play and blow up the play? There are dozens of variables each time the ball is snapped.
This is all true. There is plenty of hubris. On the other hand, football isn't rocket surgery. It's possible to develop a good knowledge base without working in the field.
While I'd agree to a point, theres a BIG difference between reading/watching something, (book learning basically) and actually being IN the fire when the bullets are firing( to use the military term)when you have seconds to make the decision, and don't have the benefit of hind sight to have seen how each play actually developed, while having thousands of people scrutinizing each decision, after they have had that benefit. It all seems so simple after the fact, when you've already seen how the play developed and what adjustments the other team made.
I suppose one could say it gives purpose to a message board in the first place. It's a place to give critique.
Gotta give you partial credit for one hell of a spin job, I guess.
It does look like the right play call to at least pick up the first down. Woulda, shoulda, coulda!!Yep.
Tim Lester on the screen call on 3rd & 5 w/ 2:06 to go in the Indiana game: "It was there. It would've been a touchdown."
Iowa would have then taken a 20-13 lead.
Let's face it. It was a play Hank Brown should have made. It was an easy throw. The coaches were playing to win with a play that was perfectly set up & according to Tim Lester would have resulted in a TD.
The next play (on 4th & 5), of course, was a 42 yard missed Drew Stevens FG.

If the train has left and he is for sure # 2, then probably not. Assume he would hit earliest portal.
I just want mobile qbs. Period. The fact that Kirk hasn’t connected the dots that all his best offenses/teams had varying degrees of mobile qbs was perplexing. I don’t care if they are 5’10” or 6’4”. Give me mobility, ability to process quickly, and reasonably accurate and I’ll be happy.
My Kirk answer to this type of question from reporters would be "Grono has won 59 games as a starter. Next question"
Yeah, there were two blockers zeroing in on one defender and nothing but green. And really you dont need the TD right there. Better if you get to the 10 yard line, run the clock to :02 seconds and kick the ball from the center of the field. Yes a TD on 3rd down would work great also with maybe :15 sec leftYep.

I hate to keep disagreeing w/this play as its water under bridge, etc, yet maybe I'm in the minority here...watch this play all the way through, both OL whiff the block, this play at first glance was said to go for at least the first down and TL thought a TD. Yet, run this through...am I wrong here? Looks like it would've been blown up immediately or at least a yard or two short of line to gain...discuss...
