"Cringe-Worthy" Presser with ALREADY FIRED Iowa OC

[pimo1]

Brian is a good position football coach. He's just not a good coordinator in so many regards.

He'll land on his feet, most certainly in the NFL as a position coach very quickly. Those family ties run deep.

He played at Iowa as center, almost lost his lower leg to a staph infection and came back to finish his senior year. He went on to coach under Belichick and rose to TEs coach (Gronk & Hernandez). Went to Iowa to coach OL and (unfortunately) was elevated to OC way too soon.

There is plenty of blame to go around on this. Kirk, Brian and the AD all have fault. He was fine early with established talent and playbook, but regressed fairly quickly and overstayed his visit. Which is tough given his playing history and loyalty to the program.

Iowa is loyal to a fault, and this is one of the few times that we've seen such a tough response to that loyalty.

Regarding CFB: The south is quick with the trigger. The north preaches patience. Neither is wrong, but each can be costly.

Peace.

I think thats a thing a lot of fans and even administrations dont get. Position coach, coordinator and head coach are all different skill sets. Some guys are great position coaches and good head coaches but bad coordinators. Others might be more fit for coordinator than position coach. Its a balance. UT went through situations where we had like 3 straight head coaches that are great coordinators but not good head coaches. We had a DC that was an outstanding position coach not so much at DC at the time.

Its like in regular life. Every guy thats been a burger flipper at mcdonalds thinks they can be a manager. They have no idea the other responsibilities and skill sets involved are. Often times your top worker is not the best person for a promotion. I think with Ferentz the way they approached nepotism clouded things. If they were gonna hire his son as OC treat him like any other OC them breaking up the chain of command was dumb and probably stifled him to some extent.

Don’t worry, by halftime the board will be bipolar as usual wanting to fire Heupel and declaring Nico is overrated
