Not sure where you're hearing that, but I literally cannot find a single source saying that Ferentz has been fired.
Iowa needs to send bell ringers out to department stores and malls to collect change for Ferentz's buyout. I'd drop a few bucks in just because I'm offended that Ferentz makes so much money to be so shitty at his job.

What really needs to happen is for people to stop going to games. Stop buying season tickets, stop providing any more incentive to keep Ferentz around. The only chance we have of seeing Ferentz get the boot before his contract is up is if the university sees a significant decline in revenue, and they stand to lose more by keeping him around than paying the buyout. It's a shitty thing to say, because football basically pays for all the other sports, and it would suck to deprive the athletes of the funds they need for their programs to function, but that's the reality of the situation.

Bert would come back to Iowa

If Ferentz goes, Barta (our AD) goes, so hopefully a true fresh start would be possible.
Probably would. And I'm at the point where I wouldn't even be angry if he did.
Yes, Iowa football has beaten me down so much that Bret Goddamn Bielema seems like a better option than Ferentz.
Options 1A and 1B for Iowa should be Bert and Holgorsen. Contrasting styles obviously but Iowa could use some energy in that program. I think Bert would go back to Iowa for not much more than he is making now.
Only thing stopping Iowa is the money.

Kirk Ferentz's agent and Charlie Weis' agent probably meet once a week for drinks and just sit there lighting $20s on fire and laughing.
I believe Ferentz's agent is also Bob Stoops' agent and I think Bill Belichick as well. Weis' agent is also the agent for Jay and Jon Gruden, Andy Reid and Bill Callahan. Good work if you can get it.

And/or our AD is the dumbest man in college sports.

I thought Dabo Sweeneys agent was pretty slick as well. What will his buyout be after next season? Like 25 million? lmfao

he'd prolly have more success in the SEC than he had here, so on the surface it sounds like a terrible idea for LSU, but i think he could do fairly well
norvell out as co-OC and WR corch at OU. he shouldn't have been the first one fired but i'm glad he's gone. kish is next. RB corch Cale Gundy, OL corch Bill Bedenbaugh, and DL corch Jerry Montgomery are the only ones who have any job security right now. also heard that OU is looking at daddy OC Jake Spavital and WKU OC Tyson Helton

With job security like this, why bother?

Y'all need a QB worth a shit still. Spavital might be a good hire but I wonder how much of his success is Sumlin's doing.

if we had been running an offense that played to Knight's strengths he would have looked a lot better than he did. of course he's fragile as fuck so it might not have mattered. the guys we recruited were highly touted, but herpel hasn't been developing them since he's had to come up with a shitty offense

Here to fix the cable
"Kirk is out" rumors are swirling at the moment. It doesn't make any damn sense to me, considering that they just wrote him a $4.something million-dollar check for "longevity," but he has zero support from the fan/ donor base right now.

Mora allegedly interviewing with the Jets.
Forgive me if this is old news.

He probably isn't going anywhere.
But it is being reported, or, more accurately, it is being reported that there are rumors, so it is relevant to the thread.

Houston has hired Utah State's Todd Orlando to be the new DC. If you had told me on Dec 1st that next season we would have not one but two of this year's Broyles Award nominees (including the eventual winner of that honor) calling the shots for us in 2015 I wouldn't have believed it. Sometimes life does work out.

I recall, but I can't remember who it is.
On an unrelated topic, looking at him now it is kinda hard to imagine Heupel being a record-setting, National Championship-winning QB.

Norvell could recruit but didn't develop receivers for shit. With the exceptions of Broyles (who may not have been recruited by Norvell, I can't remember), Stills, and Shepard, none of his receivers have done anything. Landed some good transfers, though, in Justin Brown, Jalen Saunders, and to a lesser extent, Lacoltan Bester.
Heupel is from the Leach Air Raid school and couldn't seem to grasp any other type of offense. We certainly do not have the personnel at the moment to run that scheme. Plus his QBs showed less progress once he became a playcalling OC and couldn't devote more time to them. He's still a Sooner legend, though, and I hope he finds success wherever he goes.
Anyway, these changes on offense are moot if Mike doesn't GTFO. He's been a much bigger failure than Heupel. I get that spread offenses are hard to defend, especially week in and week out, but he is just completely clueless and has basically admitted as much. He'd be a better fit in the B1G or SEC.

Brian Schottenheimer will be the new Georgia OC/QB Coach.

Everybody even tangentially associated with the story--Brian Schottenheimer, Mark Richt, Jeff Fisher and Mike Bobo--is hot garbage.

What?!! So the TE coach will not get the job despite the good job with the play calling vs. Louisville?

I was not impressed with what he produced as solo OC at Texas. But he was also rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, basically, so I am willing to cut him some slack on that.
The fact Herman has an offensive background and will probably bring some good ideas to the table would make me feel okay about it if I were you. But probably not a lot more than okay from an Xs and Os perspective.
As a recruiter, Major is pretty bad ass though.

to show how mongified NFL offenses are:
TOTAL OFFENSE RANKINGS (out of 128 teams)
119. Kent State 315.5 YPG
RAMS 314.7 YPG
120. Temple 308.4 YPG
TOTAL SCORING RANKINGS (out of 128 teams)
114. Ohio 20.5 PPG
RAMS 20.3 PPG
115. Louisiana-Monroe 20.1 PPG
@PSUEagle
What do you want me to say brah? Schottenheimer isn't very good at his job.
Those stats are that way because athletes are better in the NFL, which means it's harder to score/move the ball. Come on mang. It's always been that way, even in the pre-spread days in CFB.
