Messingham needs to go!

Here's my Messingham impression:

"What's that? It's 4th and 4? I know! We'll run a wide receiver screen a yard behind the line of scrimmage! Man, I'm a genius. There's no way this will fail. It works every time we run it as a scrimmage without the defense there!"
 
He's horrible. You could take a knee every down and not be much worse off. He get's paid big bucks to do this. This is Iowa, not Alabama. A hurt OL is no excuse to go 3 and out every ******* time.
 
Based on Messingham's comments and the play we're seeing by the guys I agree Mess has gotten into their heads. He not only should be demoted he needs to be completely removed from the program. He is ruining our guys.
 
That might have been the worst half of football I've seen since Chizik was here and we played Oklahoma.
 
Based on what I've seen, the plays have been there but the blocks/catches haven't been made. You have players missing blocks everywhere.

At some point, the players have to play. Chip Kelly would struggle if his players missed the number of blocks our guys have so far.
 
Oh, dear heavens. Just freaking STOP!
Why? This isn't Jack Lambert, Mean Joe Greene and the "Steel Curtain". This is a bad Hawkeye team. And he had two weeks to prepare. And this is the best he can do? My 8 year old daughter could draw up better plays with a box of crayons.
 
Darn, can we hire Fred Hoiberg as an offensive coordinator, he knows a thing about high octane offense and he knows a thing about football

Yes and no. Our guys have played horribly. But at this point you have to question how they were prepared. And Sam and the running backs are playing scared.

Sure but you have to ask yourself if the coaching staff is putting them in the best chance to succeed. The answer to that question is a big fat no.
 
I agree, though one would think that we would recognize this and not have Sam stand in the pocket all game. I wonder if he is still dinged up?

Exactly... Roll his ***** out. Work with what you got. O-line can't move anybody or open a hole. Line can't give SR time to find open guys and WR can't get separation. Stop trying to for a circle into a square and work with ur talents.
 
Again I say, we ran a screen

on 4th and 4...

when we haven't had a successful screen in 2+ years.

I'll gladly call plays on offense if it gets rid of messingham.

Messingham is like an Art major trying to teach a 9th grade math class. He's in a job he was never qualified to do and should have NEVER been asked to do it.
