It's time to try Parks......what the hell do we have to lose now

We could try him but I really don't know if Lanning is the prime offender. I'd put the coaching staff, the O line and the entire defense as just as poor tonight.

WRs are the only group who haven't sucked on the rare occasion a ball has been thrown to them.

Even our clock management and calling time outs is horrible tonight. Any chance to make a splash and we let the clock run down to 7 seconds. My goodness...

Same as last week. I at least hoped to see some improvement on the coaching front.

CAN WE LIKE STOP HAVING OCs WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN OCs EVER
We could have Chip Kelly and Art Briles as co-OCs and it wouldn't matter. Our lines are awful and I think that's putting it pretty nicely.

I wouldn't be totally surprised if that "gaffe" at the end was designed that way. A field goal does exactly zero good so you might as well go for the end zone and make sure Iowa doesn't get the ball back.

That's the worst part. That's why we hired a guy who could bring his entire staff and everyone would be on the same page, and blah, blah, blah.

And that entire coaching staff has looked like they haven't set foot on a football field before.

Did anyone else watch our game against Toledo last year? We looked like the better coached team. Just think about that for a while.

You can tell our OC has no experience and is learning on the job.

Physically dominated, and we are a very undisciplined team.

He got pretty snippy when asked about whether he had called plays before last week.

Was holding out that outside hope for a win, but mostly was just hoping for a competent game, and too see some of the young players shine. We can't even get a drive strung together. Ungh.
