Here are mine:
What techniques do you employ to try to get your teams to not play down to inferior competition?
Aren't there any other defensive schemes we can employ to not have LB'ers covering WR'ers?
Do you have any stats to show why having your QB under center during several last-minute, potential game-winning 2-minute drills is better than a shotgun?
What sort of in-season aerobic conditioning activities do you have? (Some of our DL were continually taken out of passing situations in the 4th quarters of some games this year...why is that?)
Do you allow burning of early-season redshirts in order to keep players happy, or do you feel they will develop and play significant roles (other than special team)
There are approximately 14 special teams plays which a team can misfire on: (bolded items represent Iowa miscues this season in 11 games)
Kickoff run back for TD
Clipping/holding on kick/punt returns
Punt run back for TD
Blocked punt
Missed XP
Missed FG
Blocked XP
Blocked FG
Incorrect punt coverage on 4th down
Safety allowed
Kickoffs kicked out of bounds
Kickoffs going less than to the opponent's 10 yard line
Shanked punts
Please explain how you prepare for/practice to avoid these 14 potential plays?

One fucking question.
"The pictures that O'Keefe had are now in my possession, how much will you pay me for them?"

Are you satisfied being a top 5 Big Ten program only most years?
Do you personally have the motivation to win a National Championship when you know you are going to collect 3 million a year whether you go 12-0 or 6-6?

why are KK and lester erb still employed?
when a HB is running for over 7 ypc against one of the better run defenses in the nation, why abandon the run?

How the fuck to you deal with all of the bitching and moaning that comes from our fan base?
Sorry but it needed to be said not as much here but any other board.

To be fair...every bitch and moan in this thread is credible. I mean this shit needs to be answered. I'm shelling out thousands per year for this entertainment, and if it's not going to improve, I'll go see a movie instead. |

Dude, Kweefe's fucking game plans with our offense in some of the games this year have been nothing short of fucking criminal. The failure to cover a fake punt with the always dangerous Colin fucking Sandeman back to return it against Wisconsin was not short of fucking criminal. Look back at the predicitions thread - I fucking called that this team had the talent to go 12-0 and after what I've seen out of the players this year, that is no doubt the case. This fucking staff not figuring out how to score on NU when fucking Illinois put up 48 with a fucking freshman QB is criminal. I can stomach the AZ and OSU losses, those were games where a few plays just didn't go our way and that shit happens in football, but scoring 17 fucking points against god damned Northwestern doesn't just fucking happen without some serious brain damage amongst the staff and giving up a fake punt in that situation against fucking Wisconsin does just fucking happen. Those are two losses that are categorically on this fucking staff. |

We scored 18. |

One question: Cap'n, when did Mary cut your balls off, and is there a chance you can have them reattached soon at UIHC?

I want to know why a veteran coaching staff can't motivate players. This above all else bothers me the most. Where is the pride?
Oh yeah, and where the hell was this vaunted defense all year long? 5 games lost. all five we had the fucking lead in the 4th. shouldn't we win at least three of those with our "kick ass all NFL" d-line?

I think you would be asking the wrong person. Take a look at our games. The only games that Iowa got up for after the first few weeks of the season were the marque games. They mailed it in vs. NW, Indiana and Minny. Don't get me wrong I blame KF for some of that but after we lost to Ohio State the senior leaders on this team seemed to say fuck it we can beat Minny by just showing up and even if we do win we get another trip to the Outback bowl who gives a shit. |

And whose job is it to get the senior leaders on the right path?
I got the right guy. with some chip on their shoulder attitude we would have destroyed Minny. KF should have benched a couple of them at least to send the message. A good ass chewing now and again by the captain might help as well.
I am all for calm and collective leadership, but there is an appropriate time to amp up the emotion.

I am all for calm and collective leadership, but there is an appropriate time to amp up the emotion. I agree, but at some point it falls on the players. Sorry but KF giving a rah rah speech before they face a 2-9 Minny team might work for freshmen but all of the upperclassmen and especially the seniors have seen all that shit before. Look I am not giving KF and the coaching staff a free pass for this year but it is pretty obvious this team and the seniors showed up for the big games and didn't for the shitty teams. I don't care how much a coach yells and screams it isn't going to change the fact that this years senior class mailed it in once the season started to turn. As far as a good ass chewing he does plenty of that in practice and in the locker room that the public never hears about or sees and yes I know that for a fact. |

Yeah, so you break out something they haven't seen. When that game was close at halftime, you tell the seniors on scholarship other than DJK and Brett Morse they are getting the first series off to think about their careers. Then you keep back the seniors who have League aspirations and chew more ass than you've ever chewed before and you fucking tell them "I'M SENDING THIS GOD DAMN GAME FILM AND A FUCKING PERSONAL GOD DAMNED HAND WRITTEN FUCKING LETTER TO GOD DAMN PIOLI WHO IS THE MOST FUCKING RESPECTED GM IN THE FUCKING LEAGUE TELLING HIM WHAT A BUNCH OF SPOILED ASS LITTLE BITCHES YOU FUCKERS ARE AND IT'LL TAKE 2 GOD DAMNED MINUTES FOR WORD TO GET AROUND THE FUCKING LEAGUE AND YOU FUCKERS WILL BE LUCKY TO BE FLYING RUBBER DOG SHIT ON A CARGO FUCKING PLANE FROM FUCKING HONG KONG. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT AND AT LEAST ACT LIKE YOU WANT TO FUCKING BE HERE YOU FUCKING CANDY ASSES!" |
