I am glad he has redeemed himself! It was rough for a few years, a few years ago...
Redeemed himself??? 🤣 🤣 🤣

No chance that fans simply didn't know what they were talking about? Of course not.

Fact is, Barnett took over a line that wasn't anywhere near ready to play (primarily physically), and built them into a Joe Moore line. Fans are welcome

I am salivating,as I am sure many of you are, about what the future holds. I guess that somebody forgot to send the email or text to Kayden Proctor.

I have heard his predecessor didn't coach as well and Barnett had to fix some bad habits.
Bad habits from guys that had never played?

Why do people refuse to understand something very simple? Barnett took over a group of players that were forced into action far too early. They simply weren't yet big and strong enough to get the job done

admitted. that said i want to see this year’s group play outstanding to confirm back to back performances before fully jumping on his bandwagon

also budmayr remains a question mark for me though he also can climb out of his hole if WRs perform as a top unit for 10 years in a row

Yep this year Barnett gets the chance to prove it with a less experienced group

Iowa OL Kade Pieper on Scott Dochterman's question about why not enter NFL Draft?

“To be honest, I didn’t even think about leaving. I'm just trying to have fun here, enjoy all the time I have here with all the O-line. It’s just so special, and Coach Barnett, he's a coach that I would play for forever. Coach Ferentz is unbeatable. I just love playing at Iowa. It’s the greatest thing I ever did.”
