Title: Iowa HC’s Idiot Kid Thread
Post by: Pete on September 13, 2023, 10:08:29 AM
So, many of you may already be aware of this, but I recently learned that the Iowa HC has an idiot kid who serves as his OC, and like every rough ridin' Iowa fan in the universe hates the kids guts…AND, the AD stepped in and added requirements to the idiot kid’s contract that Iowa must average 25 points a game this year or the kid gets less money and gets crap canned. 

The story is here:

Anyway, there is an X app account that tracks this saga.

Ferentz has been such an odd case. Their ceiling has always just been a little higher than Iowa State, yet he’s got to be one of the longest tenured coaches in the P5 if not college football.

I also enjoyed them talking about it on pardon my take today,  and they're no optimistic on him making it. He's already off pace and when Big Cat said "with Wisconsin and Minnesota still on the schedule I see those as being 12-9 games so he's going to need to pick it up" I couldn't help but laugh on the plane at how accurate that is.

I know how PPG work, but this might be what I've laughed at the hardest. 44 points through 2 games, and 7 of them created by the D.

One more defensive touchdown in the first 2 games and he'd be on pace for it!

That's the best/worst part - 25 ppg is not good. Last year, 25 ppg would have ranked 78th in the country.

"If you stuck around for the final minutes here in Lincoln, you're in for a treat.  Iowa leads Nebraska 37-14 and just called a timeout to set up a surprisingly crucial 2-point conversion with 3 seconds left on the clock.  Brian Ferentz's job is on the line with this conversion.  They line up in the I formation from the two and here comes the snap.  And the play is blown dead, false start on the offense so we'll do it again from the seven."

They aren't going to average 25 points a game but Brian Ferentz isn't getting fired. They're going to go 9-3 or 8-4 and win the Big 10 West. The athletic director who made those contact provisions was forced into retirement earlier this summer.

yeah, but it's like when the hero won't do a bad thing for the villain but then the villain holds a gun to the hero's failson's head and he has to do it. except here it's just some stupid iowa guys so if the gun blasts the failson's head off it's funny and good and if the hero has to do despicable disgusting things to nebraska to save his son then that's also funny and good.

I didn't realize passing TD's don't count as points for the QB. It makes sense that it's the equivalent of an assist in basketball though. No big whoop, our guy just runs 5 in.

Iowa absolutely got screwed on the punt return for a TD at the end of the 4th. However, if you're a P5/4/3 team that holds an opponent to 12 points, and you needed that TD to win, then you didn't really deserve the win anyways.

That was a terrible call but all they needed was to get about 20 yards in 1:30 minutes to get in field goal range, they ran three plays on what should have been their game winning drive those three plays netted -7 yards and ended in an interception.

Man, I don't want to pick on the kid, he got absolutely massacred on a prominent sports show in the state last night, but look at the stat line of their current starting quarterback. What's even crazier is that the QB who won their bowl game last year is just sitting on the bench, not getting any time at all. It's almost like the Ferentz's are throwing games.

I don’t think he resigned, did he?  I think they are saying he isn’t coming back next year, and he is still the OC this year.

This seems like a real opportunity for a "eff you, dad" moment where the failson casts away the chains and really let's the offense fly for a whopping 20 points against Nebraska.
eff yes, now you are talking. He could show all of them!

Correct, I jumped the gun. Rumors came in after a meeting with the AD (which is hilarious). Details later came out that the AD told the Ferentz's the idiot kid will not be returning in 2024 either way.

Also, is the Big Ten West the worst division in the history of P5 football? (Iowa HC's Idiot Kid would get fired from every single school in it)

PPG
Iowa - 19.5
Minnesota - 21.1
Nebraska - 20.3
Wisconsin - 24.8
Northwestern - 21.6
Purdue - 21.9
Illinois - 20.4

Without looking it up I'm guessing the Big12 north from 2004-2006ish would be close.

Maybe some shitty ACC division but they are basically all G5 teams pretending to be P4/5

Come on, man, they cannot, that's crazy talk, we can't either if they wanted to throw a bunch of money at Klein.

Kotelnicki is not likely to go to Iowa because he's more likely to either get a better OC job or head coaching job, but let's not make any mistakes here, Iowa is an infinitely better job than KU. I went back a decade and if their class holds it will be the first time in that decade that they were even within 20 spots of Iowa in the class rankings. The year that Lance took over, KU was literally 100 places behind Iowa in the class rankings. They've been more than 30 places behind Iowa than they've been closer than 30 places.

Technically in only one game did someone score 14 first and lose, w/ 2 that finished 10-7 and 12-10, so no one even got there. So I guess it would be accurate to say for 10 of 11 games?

I'm gonna be Rock Hawkeye'ing my ass off in the conference champ game. Would be amazing if they win it.

It's such a love-hate I have with Iowa, maybe it's just a morbid curiosity. I would agree it would be awesome for them to win, but they will get absolutely boat raced (see their Penn State game). And I find them absolutely gutting out wins as satisfying as them getting hung 40+ against an actual team. They are the worst good team there is.

There is no circumstance in which they would have won that Penn State game but if Cade McNamara didn't get knocked out of the game, it wouldn't have been anywhere close to that bad. His backup is an absolutely terrible quarterback, but as the season has gone along, they've game planned much better with him.

even accounting for the garbage offenses they've faced, iowa's defense is elite

snowbrag sos-weighted defense ranks:

2 iowa
3 penn st
4 alabama
5 notre dame

their schedule is lol

#10 penn st  L 0-31

#90 michigan st  W 26-16
#107 western michigan  W 41-10

iowa's sos-weighted offense rank is #115. the difference in ranking between their offense and defense is the largest in FBS by a good margin

The interesting thing about the new Big 10 is that it gives teams that would be 7-5 in a normal conference the opportunity to get a super shitty schedule and end up 10-2 with a shot at a conference championship and a playoff berth. It also gives teams that would normally be a playoff lock the potential to draw Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, and USC all in the same season, completely derailing their chances.
