I can't wait for Kirk to sign off on going for two at the end of their last game when they are tied because Brian needs both points to make the criteria. Kirk then trying to spin it as it having nothing to do with Brian but instead it was what was best for the team to go for two instead of kicking the PAT. Or perhaps it is taking shots downfield up a field goal in the last minute when they should be kneeling on the ball to run out the clock.
Yep. KF has said publicly how once he gets to a certain # of points and feels that the W is safe, he hits the brakes and goes conservative. It's going to be pretty noticeable if that longstanding policy changes this year, and his motivation behind it will obvious to everyone.
Well, with all of the trouble he has gotten himself into he probably thought it unwise to align himself with this:

To keep it cheap, could you just rent a mile marker sign since it'll likely be single digits anyways?
I'm kind of thinking something with a Price is Right vibe. Anyone know how much it costs to get sound to play from a billboard?
The problem is that the offense, regardless of who the OC has been, has always operated under KF's overarching strategy of conservatism, especially when the team has the lead. KF has said publicly that when Iowa has scored the number of points he thinks it will take to secure the win, he goes conservative and pumps the brakes with the offense. That number is typically in the mid-20s, which is why they put BF's threshold at 25 ppg (and that includes points from defense and special teams.) Let's say Iowa goes two or three games scoring just 15-17 points. That's going to hamper hitting the 25 ppg threshold for the season. So in the games that follow, if Iowa has hit 25 points and is in command, if KF then decides to put his foot on the gas and run the score up, it basically means he's going against his longstanding offensive philosophy and is only doing it to save his kid's job. Not going to be a great look.
To add insult to insult . . . make the scale top out below his goal.
If it is part of his employment contract, nothing is going to change.
