Time to call a spade a spade.

I think the sad thing is that we are not bad. But we are clearly poorly coached and prepared week after week.

We are ruining one of the best defensives in the country.
That is what is so insanely infuriating. Offense and special teams is so poorly prepared at all times. Last year is what poor coaching looks like with really good players. This year is what poor coaching looks like with average players. Neither is acceptable.
 
Whats worse than a terrible oline, is an offensive coaching staff that can't scheme around it. They just keep doing the same **** that doesn't work.

Chip block, roll outs, rpos... I dunno, I'm not getting paid millions to figure it out.
 
Not a reflection on the kids, but the coaches earning(?) millions per year.
Campbell needs to ****can his buddies, or limp back to Toledo.
 
Unless the MN high school recruit is a stud we have committed - we need a RB in the portal.
I agree. I think Norton can be great with a good line (or good with a terrible line) but otherwise our depth isn't great. I love Brock, but he doesn't have the vision that David, Breece, or Norton have.

The defense will lose its two best players in AJ and Will. NIL could come for some others. Not sure they'll ever be this elite again
Probably not, but if we're calling a spade a spade the defense is elite and the offense sucks. These aren't TEAM losses, they're offense losses.

Let's hope JJ Kohl can live up to the hype. Might not matter if nobody can block for him.

With a good coach Dekkers would be fine. Kohl will have same problems as Dekkers if Manning is still overseeing QB's and the offense
 
When the fans are starting to notice systemic issues, the end is usually near. Recall back to the end of the Prohm, McCarney,Rhoads, and McDermott eras. The outcry of the fan base started months if not years prior to action being taken to move on from these coaches. The outcry has begun for Campbell. I am still on board, but this offseason is critical to his future in Ames. What will he do to inspire hope and drive results? Time will tell.
 
I said it three weeks ago, Hall, Kolar and X have covered up for a disastrous offensive staff.
