All Tim needs is time to implement his scheme and get the right guys. Trying to get out of the hole that moron Brian left us in is a very tough ask. But we're steadily improving because Tim is a super sharp offensive mind. I still believe in him that he'll set the ship right on offense.
Doesn't mean anything until our offense proves to potential players we can produce results. Over the past two years our offense has improved statistically in nearly every category. Takes time to build those numbers and make a convincing argument to players in the portal to play for us.
It’s a huge part but production still matters to a certain degree. Every off season people post that we need to just go out and buy a top notch wr to fix the issue. Well it takes two to tango and those top tier guys asking for $ have options and want to play for a school where they see action. Iowa doesn’t move the needle at wr for guys. Until we prove it on the field that isn’t going to change and then we become more attractive to higher caliber players in portal at that position.
Yes, To a point. Would you move to North Korea for a 25% bump in pay? I imagine not. Iowa post BF was North Korea to WRs and QBs.
Kind of extreme there. No I would not take a pay raise to go to a place my life would be in danger on some crackpot's whim.
Are we finally gonna do it?.............................Are we finally gonna win..................a National f***ING CHAMPIONSHIP!?!?!?
Brian left Iowa in no hole. The offense was poised to make a jump because of an o-line that would be inherited in good shape, as KF told us before Lester was hired.
While I still think Seth Wallace is being groomed for the next HC position, I'd love Lester as the next HC. He's already got experience in that position and everyone loves the guy.
He briefly talks about the guys, but this felt more like a discussion about his offensive philosophies and previous plays over the past two years. He also mentions a few receivers like Diaz. But it does sound like the offense will be run differently now that we don't have a running QB like Mark, with an emphasis on going more vertical than horizontal.
And should our growth continue I'd like to see that be at Iowa in a couple of years.
Again, careful with the term "growth".
You should be "careful" you don't keep showing your A--. Before long your going to be talking to yourself when everyone on here has you on ignore. Won't that be fun......
Gee could that POSSIBLY be related to the schedules they played the last two years compared to the B1G West days? Or maybe to the decline in the defense, also related to the harder schedules? The 25 team competed with and had a chance to beat everyone they played. Not like the 0-92 *** poundings in 23
I'd assume by Kirk himself. I think the fact we gave him the Assistant HC position shows that Wallace has intentions of being an HC himself. Wouldn't surprise me if he's been contacted by other schools to take over as coach. Personally, I'd rather have him take over DC when Phil retires. Like with Kirk, I think we'll hire within.
Correct. It's no coincidence that we had less wins after the B1G West was dissolved. Iowa, for all intents and purposes, was better than every team in that division, with only Wisconsin challenging us as the top team. Now that we no longer continually play the Purdue's and Northwestern's of the conference on a yearly basis, but instead top 15 programs like Oregon and USC, there's a higher chance for more losses as the competition has taken a step up. But now instead of being blown out with zero offensive output, we're pushing these teams to the last minute of the game, but sadly we lack the athletes that they do. It will take time for us to change the perception of our offense in the eyes of potential recruits and portal players. No one is asking for thr air raid, but instead for a competent, effective, and dangerous offense where we see production everywhere.
So you notice a difference between Lester and, say, Brian Ferentz, the guy who'd still be the OC and QB coach if Beth Goetz hadn't fired Brian. Let's never forget that.
You must not live in the United States then, or you maybe never heard of people like Alex Pretti or Renee Good, US citizens murdered in broad daylight by masked government thugs. Despite both murders being caught on video, many months later, no one has been charged with either murder. You might be safer in North Korea.
Well, must have shown my azz on this one years ago, then.
I've read enough of your political crap, ignore!
If you cant understand the difference in winning 9 games and playing the National champs to a couple of points, (the ONLY team that did that), Having top 5 Oregon beat until the last seconds, and beating up a pretty damn good vandy team, and what's had been going on prior to Lester getting here then your just showing that backside, without question.
