Iowa Beat Writers

It's fine. Fran is one of the best at getting his kids to buy in. He can polish a 0-star turd into a 3-star caliber athlete. Look at guys nobody else wanted that turned into good players for them: Kriener, Baer, Bohannon, White, and Pemsl just off the top of my head. Then he has also turned your 2 and 3-star players into the Luka Garza's and Murray brothers of the world. It has rarely ever looked good on paper for Fran, and the media really does an embarrassing job of trying to sugarcoat things, but he usually finds a way to make it work and get them to compete.

Well hey there! Welcome new member.

Always good to get a fresh perspective on the conversation. Although I am not sure if the perspective that Kriener, Baer, Bohannon, White and Pemsl as good players is fresh, more likely fantasy. Give you White but lumping the others in with him is really ridiculous and just paints troll across your forehead.

Interesting hearing Chad wonder out loud why Iowa brought 3 defensive players to a media session when the defense is sound and 90-95% of the questions asked were about offense.

Chad wouldn't have run that without asking Kirk first.

While true, It’s only a distraction.

Another year of dreadful offense with everyone knowing the guy running the show is the coach in waiting when dear old dad moves on, generates ill will.

Can’t have that.

True but who knows. The big wigs and PR dept at Iowa are far from stellar at their jobs.

Oh, in the end, they don’t really give a ****. Kirk makes all the decisions.

And Brian will be the next coach.

Think of this like Kirk pretending to change every other time.
