Really UCONN???

It'd be funny to see KOK turn UConn into an offensive power.

I assume you meant linemen, not linebackers (even though we've turned out a few of those lately, too). I think maybe our lack of producing NFL QB's is that we go more for the Trent Dilfer-type college QB: game manager, hand the ball off and when you pass, don't screw things up. Those guys dont typically get drafted. Stanzi might, but it won't be until late in the draft.

KOK isn't a bad coach by any means. He was a spread guy before coming to Iowa. If he were allowed to cut loose again (see: 2002, and 2004 was his best performance IMO), then I think he could have a solid career as a head coach. UCONN might be a good fit for him.

No I ment LB. Im not a hawk guy (snicker snicker) But we all know LB are more glorified then O-linemen for better or worse and that why I said such.

KOK had nice exchange (again) with a Big 10 reporter the other day about stretching the field. Wonder if he would like to cut loose more or not or if he like the O kirk runs.

I actually think iowa fans would be happy to see him leave, although you have to wonder how much of their offensive philosophy is due to Ferentz rather than the OC. Still can't believe that Edsell would leave for Maryland, though. Maybe he's sick of waiting for JoePa to retire.

IMO if UCONN ends up looking for a coach, they may be better off waiting to see if RichRod is available.

I just can't fathom why someone would hire Ken O'Keefe when Leach and Rich Rod are available. Yes, I know Rich Rod hasn't been fired, but it's only a matter of "when". If he gets an offer to get out ahead of the lynch mob, my bet is that he'll take it.

I agree, Ive tried telling hawk fans that KF is more to blame for why they will blast a team then let off the gas. But KF is god to these guys and rightfully so but it does blind them to the truth.
