I wish they would get after Paul Chryst for an OC then HC after Kirk hangs it up. Chryst could come in with favorable approach to what Iowa does and has done. He would absolutely keep most of the current staff, Parker Woods, etc. This would be a major upgrade at OC, with a quality HC going forward. Wisconsin jumped the gun on a rough start and fired a very winning coach and found out jumping the gun isn't the best approach.
They suppose to be 11-1. Worst call I ever seen. Cooper DeJean scored on a punt return and the refs stole his glory. I'ma michigan fan but I'ma big 10 fan also. Did not like seeing that happen to coach Ferentz and his squad. To have tell his team that they won but really loss.
This team has lost their top 2 best players as well and a solid QB let’s not forget that. Lachey one of the best TE in the nation, Dajean and even All were injured. So it’s shocking the coaching job farentz has done
@@aaronrider4051ya dude but I am just telling you. The offense looked way different with ken o’keefe. It’s not really Brian’s fault. He just following what Greg Davis Implemented.
The worst part about iowas 18 points a game is that BF's scoring average is worse than that. Take away special team scores and you find out his true PPG average.
You know what makes it even more strange? The two games Iowa lost this year were when they decided to wear alternate uniforms. So if that theory holds true, all Iowa needs to do to beat Michigan is just simply wear their traditional uniforms 😂. Let’s go Hawks!!!
Correction on Brian Ferentz contract situation. After running one of the worst offenses in the country, if he didn’t hit those markers this season then instead of making $900k he would make $850k. This is the shit the fan base had to witness. The old athletic director was the reason for this. Luckily Iowa got a new one this year and she fired him on the bi-week unrelated to that contract
He took the pay cut before the season started. There was no stipulation that his pay cut was based on making the numbers, it took effect before the season began. Not defending Brian, but that is reality.
It absolutely was Gary Barta's fault. And I'm glad he's fucking gone. Because it was seasons like this that would constantly get Kirk extended for 8 more fucking years. Then back to 7-9 wins a season for 5-6 years.
No. You are wrong. Brian ALREADY took a pay cut for this season. However, if he met the requirements set forth by Barta, he would have gotten a bigger bonus and also got a contract extension. If he didn't meet the requirements, Brian would no longer be OC. It was do or die, hence why the "drive for 325" got so much media attention.
@robertwidmer6255 no I won't. Lol He doesn't know how to recruit in the new world of NIL. That's become painfully obvious with Iowa's offensive failures. It's not a schematic issue. It's a talent issue and that falls squarely on the shoulders of Brian and Kirk Ferentz.
The Hawks have a ton of injuries this year which has certainly made things all the more difficult. Several WRs, several O-linemen, and the 2 future NFL tight ends both out for the year, Cooper Dejean out for the year, Cade McNamara out for the season. The gambling investigation kept Noah Shannon from playing all year even though he came back for another year and only bet $10 on Iowa women's basketball the NCAA screwed him. hard to know how much the offense would have improved if all those guys had stayed healthy and with Kaleb Brown coming on strong the last few weeks. I don't like our chances in the big ten title but meh, it is what it is. I guess I'd rather be in the game and have a small chance than not be in it and have zero chance. Most of the pundits out their picked Wisconsin to win the west. I predicted my hawks going 10-2 and winning the west, although I made that predication before the season started and we had all our players but they pulled it off.
Agreed. We're going to lose. We're supposed to lose. We're going to lose big. This is essentially a replay of the 2021 title game. Iowa has no advantages. Michigan is light years beyond Iowa in offense, and near Iowa's level in special teams and defense, and our D is without its best player. Do we either throw the kitchen sink at 'em, or somehow goad Harbaugh into a conservatively called slugfest. The first option at least gives us control. We have nothing to lose, play like it. But I can't see our offense pulling off any exotics on Michigan's D. The latter involves getting into Harbaugh's head. He got the Iowa City monkey off his back and has little to prove anymore against us. There's just not much Iowa left in his head to get to like we did in 2016 and damn did we get in his head. However, Michigan loses everything with a loss.
Defense will get a turnover deep in Michigans territory, the Hawkeyes will lose 10 yards and kick a field goal to go into halftime tied 3-3 and lose the game 45 -3 after the defense , being totally gassed, gives up big play after big play and the offense doesn’t gain a single positive yard in the second half
Deacon hill did more damage to Iowa Scoring that Ferentz ever did. That is coming as someone who has been an Iowa fan since I could watch them in the late 90s. We had a Top 3 D and Top 3 special teams performance EVERY GAME, other than penn state, with an Offense that I think was arguably the worst in the country but no doubt bottom 3....... And That Minnesota game was BS. We are one of the few teams that could legit say we are an offense away from MAJOR THINGS.
Apparently you do not understand the history of the Iowa uniforms. 1979. Iowa had a 20 year losing streak after being #1 under Forest Evashevski. Fry chose to get rid of EVERYTHING that made people think of losing, including uniforms, logos, etc. He hired and eventually purchased a marketing firm that rebranded Iowa in 1980. So, no. You are wrong.
Is he from Iowa? Graduate from an Iowa school? Then, from a national outlook... He's a homegrown kid. He grew up within the boarders of Iowa. Wtf, bro. 😂
No. Just because Iowa didnt do enough offensively to win does NOT take away the fact that the defense did enough to keep Iowa in that game. Then, on special teams(completely separate from offense but still able to score points), Cooper DeJean made a spectacular play that was legit stolen from him and had the W taken from Iowa's hands. If it was an illegal fair catch, where was the flag? Why wasn't the play immediately blown dead? Why didn't any other ref see it in real time besides one fucking guy? See this is what happens when you try to troll motherfuckers and it fails miserably. Take this as a learning experience. Become more knowledgeable about the game before you start flapping your shit.
as a life long hawks fan, if we could have a 80th ranked offense we'd be in the playoffs every year. we're doing parker soooooo dirty by only playing 2 phases of the ball, because KF wants his son off his couch.
watching this video after they lost to my cyclones in 2024 makes this great cuz I have no idea how they pulled off that season with that dog*ss of a offense. I knew fans who wouldn't even watch the games this season because they were so boring which is crazy because their record was actually good.
Refs screwed Cooper DeJean with his heroic punt return TD. We should be 11-1 if that call wasn't totally BLOWN. Unbelievable what this team has otherwise overcome. Key Injuries Best Player overall - DB Cooper DeJean Most important offensive Player - QB Cade McNamara Best D-Lineman - DT Noah Shannon Best Offensive Player - TE Luke Lachey NFL prospect - TE Erick All
To everyone still talking about the stolen TD in the Minn game, that foul was not called on the field. It was called by the replay guys and it was only called from an overhead shot, not at field level. Also, I would say if that was the call then why didn't they call Minn player for illegal contact after DeJean caught it. That is a 15 yard penalty. It's a pitiful situation no matter how you look at it Iowa got screwed big time.
Yes offensively it was prolly the worst season for Iowa football. However 2024 WILL be better. All we need is macnamara to be healthy all season. And the rest of the offense. That o line needs to step it up a bit and I think we will be fine.
as a hawks fan, this is the worst 10 win hawkeye team ever, maybe one of the worst in history forsure on the offense side, no real standout stars like Stanzi, Beatherd, Tate, Jack Cambell, Greenway, Marvin McNut, etc, they have solid players but no huge standout what a reselant team and finding ways to win, crazy to think they should have had 11 win regular season. we have had better 8 win teams lol. Go Hawks, Tight end U.
Luckiest? Only if you think losing two NFL caliber tight ends, your starting QB, and your top all world defensive star (and virtual lock as a top ten draft pick) for the year to season ending injuries is "lucky." Along with losing your starting RB and his backup for a month. Oh we also lost our offensive coordinator. That was fortunate. He gets to coach out the rest of the year. That's unfortunate. Minnesota was far from lucky as we lost due to one of the worst calls I've ever seen, and maybe college football has seen in a decade.
I grew up with Kirk’s youngest son Steve. Good guy overall but I just remember how he’d be on gay shit in the locker room. I never found that shit funny. Only saw his massive house once when he had his graduation party.
Why Iowa was even ranked at all the last two years = their punter, their defense, and their easy cupcake schedule. Never have I ever seen a team in the top 25 that hasn’t scored, let alone even gotten in field goal range of a top 25 ranked team 😂 . Just so funny to have a decent defense but yet have literally and statistically the worst offense in all of FBS history and set record lows back to back years. Guess that’s why nobody takes them for real and why their known as the frauds of college football 😅
@@baronvonslambert they’ve been called the fake ID of college football since 2016 by nationally known football analyst Collin Cowherd. Having low record setting offensive records with the 105th easiest schedule in the country in 2022 and 101st easiest schedule in 2023, while getting outscored 92-0 on AP top 25 teams in 2023. It has been since October 2022 since Iowa has even scored a single field goal on a ranked team. If they aren’t known as frauds now, they will be after the 2024 season.
To everyone mad about the call on the punt - blame the rules, not the refs. It was the correct call based on the rulebook. The rule is stupid, yes, but its the rule.
It was not the correct call and people like you are the problem. Football is never gonna get better if you keep making excuses for the refs. They had no reason to assume he made a fair catch call.
So..why was it called in a replay, and not by all the officials on the field? The rule book that allows the replay officials to make calls that weren't made during the game is not a good rule book.
Additionally why was Minnesota not goven a 15 yard penalty then if it was supposedly a fair catch and tge Minnesota player tried to tackle Dejean? Furthermore not a single person on the field or sidelines seemed to think there was ever a fair catch called, they all just thought the refs were reviewing whether Dejean stepped out of bounds or not.
Who should Iowa hire as OC?
100% George Washington
Dana Holgerson
Scott Frost
Kliff Kingsbury
I wish they would get after Paul Chryst for an OC then HC after Kirk hangs it up. Chryst could come in with favorable approach to what Iowa does and has done.

You need better defensive coaches and a better head coach
As an iowa fan, you should look at our 2015 undefeated season, alot of those games could have gone either way.
I swear to gods that Iowa is the FBS version of the Steelers with their uniforms, inept offense, amazing defense, and a boomer fan base.
Eh you not wrong bro. They ranked every so often, like Steelers these days
This made me lol so hard. So true. As somsome who lived in Minnesota on the Minnesota/Iowa border I can confirm they are the same people/team.
