***2014/15 Coaching Changes***

[DoeyHawk]

If Matt freaking Vandeberg is an "upgrade" in any way, at any position, Iowa is more fucked than even I thought.

Things aren't that bad at WR. Bob Sanders likes how Stone has looked during the past two spring games.

Not what I said at all, reading comprehension fail. I bolded the things I didn't say for clarity.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Matt VandeBerg should hire Sharpton the way he's being treated. He's tall, fast and if he were black we would be thrilled about his contributions as a true soph and excited about his upside.

 

[Gushawk]

I'd probably say not short and not slow. Tall and fast stretch it, imo. He's also never going to be strong.

 

[nolookpass]

VandeBergs drop vs ISU was huge.

Like Don Shumpert's before it. I hate that game and how Kirk coaches it.

He's the same height as Ed Hinkel.

At Iowa any wr over 6 ft is considered tall

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He looks taller than that. Probably because he's skinny.

 

[nolookpass]

He looks taller than that. Probably because he's skinny.

Or he was standing next to McCarron

 

[douglasbader]

Riley McCarron and Andrew Stone will both have taken significant snaps by the end of next year. There is less than 5% of Power 5 schools that this would happen at.

 

[nolookpass]

The play that summarizes the season was a game where Iowa was within the 10 yard line of the opponent and McCarron was the lone receiver.

 

[douglasbader]

I thought that McCarron was a Senior, but noticed he will only be a Junior next year. Iowa is going to give significant snaps to Vandeberg, McCarron and Stone next year.

What other BCS programs have this many white WR's getting snaps, especially when 2 of them are fucking walk-ons and the third guy was nearly a walk-on?

 

[nolookpass]

Air Force prolly has more brothers than Iowa

Dolph " Iowa in a 3 white formation...."

 

[Vepr]

Like I have said before I don't care if our players are arctic albino white as long as they are athletic enough to be on a power 5 football field in their position. Unfortunately it appears we are about 4 years past having those type of players and now we are fielding talent that would make a MAC coach cringe.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Riley McCarron and Andrew Stone will both have taken significant snaps by the end of next year. There is less than 5% of Power 5 schools that this would happen at.

Less, McCarron is the worst player to play a snap at Iowa last year.

In almost 2 years of meaningful playing time:

• 3 catches, 11 yards
• 11 punt returns, 21 yards
• 1 KO return, 36 yards

 

[AZmessDAWG]

The play that summarizes the season was a game where Iowa was within the 10 yard line of the opponent and McCarron was the lone receiver.

He was the lone receiver a fuckload of times this season. And threw it deep to him. Those stand out to me more than that. Either way, not good.

 

[ChipHilton]

Doubt that McCarron will get significant snaps. I'd have preferred Stone to KMM and Hillyer much of the time. (Sometimes a stronger or taller guy is needed.)

Too bad about Vande's drop against ISU. He did what a million receivers have done- tried to take off without the ball. Nothing like the bad hands of Shumpert.

 

[Gushawk]

My recollection was vandy was lone wide and targeted deep far more often than Riley

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Does it matter?

No. All white receivers are the same guy.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Bert still can't keep his assistants.

 

[douglasbader]

Bert still can't keep his assistants.

They would have said the same thing about Hayden.

 

[Whatever]

They would have said the same thing about Hayden.

Hayden's guys left for lateral moves?

 

[douglasbader]

Sometimes.

 

[Russell Ziske]

Who took over for Bill Snyder when he went to KState?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Patterson?

 

[douglasbader]

Who took over for Bill Snyder when he went to KState?

Your mom.

 

[Hemogoblin]

Hayden's guys left for lateral moves?

Most of Arkansas' staff was given an extension this year, but Chaney was not.

 

[Russell Ziske]

Who took over for Bill Snyder when he went to KState?

Your mom.

Good one!!

 

[Whatever]

Carl Jackson took over for Snyder. Don Patterson was after that.

 

[Russell Ziske]

Patterson?

Not sure & it's bugging me. Frank Verducci was my guess.....he coached the o-line after Kirk left. Google isn't helping right now.

 

[Russell Ziske]

Carl Jackson took over for Snyder. Don Patterson was after that.

Thank you.

 

[Whatever]

Donny Patterson was fucking hated, BTW. Maybe not Greg Davis hated, but it was up there.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Patterson?

It was never Verducci.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Every Iowa coach has been hated at some point.

 

[Russell Ziske]

There's a difference between being hated sometimes & being incompetent.

 

[Whatever]

Don Patterson is lucky the internet wasn't around back then. It would have been UGLY.

 

[Russell Ziske]

I can vaguely recall Patterson's name mentioned as a possible replacement when Hayden retired.

 

[Gushawk]

My recollection was vandy was lone wide and targeted deep far more often than Riley

Does it matter?

Well, if you're going to have one on the field, neither would be my first choice. Certainly.

 

[nolookpass]

Carl Jackson took over for Snyder. Don Patterson was after that.

I thought Carl was rb coach, didn't recall him being oc

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Yeah me either.

 

[nolookpass]

Whatever is correct. Carl was oc, then later left to coach for the 49ers and later returned as rb coach

 

[HawkLax6]

OC from 1989-91 -> http://www.hawkeyesports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/carl_jackson_107966.html

 

[ChipHilton]

That actually says '79-91. Not.

The deal was that they called Carl the run game coordinator and Patterson the passing game coordinator. Then Carl left and Patterson was the sole. Snyder does much the same with Dana Dimel and Del Miller.

 

[atemp]

Not sure what the OC did at Iowa during Hayden's years, he called all the plays.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I'd pay $1,000 to get a headset and listen to Kirk Ferentz call every play of one game.

This says SOOO much more about you than you think it does.
