In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC

If I were a Hawk fan, I wouldn't be too happy about this. But I'm not, so I'm happy about it.
This means that absolutely nothing will change with their offense. Ultra conservative, boring, and predictable.

If things on offense are going to change for Iowa they will be far more likely to under Brian. Greg Davis was a yes man hire. Kirk isn't going to fire his own son. Plus with Brian being 30 years younger than Davis it means he will likely be less conservative and more plugged into what players these days want. Finally, Brian no doubt has a goal of being a head coach so coming in and continuing the same offense isn't going to get him that job.
Under O'Keefe Iowa's total offense on average was around the mid 50's and under Davis it was around the low 90's on average. Just getting back to O'Keefe levels is good enough for me as I know there most likely won't be drastic changes made.

My favorite part of ISU's offense last year was when it was 'boring', i.e. just getting what it needed instead of trying to into a track meet.
And I'd say Iowa's teams that could run the ball were far from predictable which is what makes it trickier to defend against. I may be thinking more of before Davis as I haven't watched Iowa a whole lot the last 3-4 years.
Putting the name aside, if we hired somebody with his experience from another P5 team, I think most people on this board would be livid.
Iowa would be an epic failure at that. They don't have anywhere close to the personal to do
Wasn't that pretty much the case with your current offensive coordinator when he came with Campbell from Toledo? Honest question because off the top of my head I'm not sure.
Yeah, and most people weren't happy about it. The original hire I think most people were fine with.
Anybody who thinks BF will be conservative are delusional. He was also in charge of the run game this year. Turned out pretty good.
Word is Brian has a great football mind like his dad, but has a different vision for the offense ... and Kirk's on board with letting him tinker with it.
Iowa fans wanted fresh, young blood running the offense, and they got it.
Will be interesting to see what happens if things don't go well. Especially since most believe Brian will take over as HC when Kirk retires.

Brian F will be the next Jim Bob Cooter. Take it to the bank or subsidized housing built-in safe
Yup, Florida showed that Joe Moore award was well deserved.
