Let's see, Kirk went from KOK to Greg Davis. Who's the next hot conservative playcaller in the market?
I can understand why an outsider might think this, but any intelligent Iowa fan .....
If it was so easy, why didn't other teams do it then??
You're right, he was here for that historic/epic/monumental season last year, but the offense (which was still his best at Iowa I think) was below-average at best (75th in scoring). Had a pretty good defense that won most of those games (15th in scoring).
Look at Wisconsins scheduleDid anyone else in the conference play such a lenient schedule?
I commended, and still do, Iowa for that 2015 season. They can't do much about the conference bringing in two schools that have no business being there while other schools (Purdue) aren't good at the same time.
Good stuff but it wasn't until the Rose Bowl until we found out what they weren't...the B1G championship game didn't show much since Alabama's playoff game vs. MSU was basically a live practice.
Most Iowa fans don't want to change the offensive system, they just want to get rid of Greg Davis's garbage horizontal passing attack. I don't know a single Iowa fan (although I'm sure there are some) who wants or expects to bring in some spread offense guru. Most just want to return to the system Iowa had under Ken O'Keefe, one that actually throws the ball downfield, utilizes the middle of the field, and uses play action to get the TE involved. Greg Davis's scheme did none of those things.
Someone say they are looking for a OC?
Look at Wisconsins schedule
Did you just stop looking after the first game?? Iowa was the only other tough game they had.The same Wisconsin who opened their season with Alabama?
I know there's going to be some retort about Northwestern beating Stanford and how that somehow justifies Iowa....that was the definition of an anomaly.

Whoops, double clicked on the sorting to make ascending. 54th is still pretty bad.What are you talking about? The 2015 Hawkeyes were 54th in the county in scoring, 30.9 PPG.

Hawk fans would be wise to temper their expectations for a new offense. It will still be dictated by Kirk, and it will still mostly be stretch runs and play action. I do agree they could benefit from using the middle of the field more often. I'll miss GD.
