Not the 12-0 We Wanted Most, But a 12-0 We'll Gladly Take

So. A month ago, if you'd been told that "12-0" was happening today, you'd probably be getting all giddy and buying a ticket for Pasadena. Of course, that 12-0 didn't come to fruition, on account of the Stanzageddon and all, but we do have the next best thing: Iowa 12, Minnesota 0.
Was it ugly? Christ yes, it was ugly; Iowa was 1-12 on 3rd down conversions, and theirs wasn't even the ugliest offense of the game.
Minnesota's offense, on the other hand, was one of the worst we've seen all season long. The two Minnesota quarterbacks - Adam Weber and MarQueis Gray - combined to go 14-42 through the air for 153 yards and one interception. That's an average of 3.6 yards per attempt, which is melt-your-retinas ugly. Oh, and Weber lost two of his three fumbles. Yes, Minnesota accounted for more yards than Iowa--201 to 171--but they needed 18 more plays to do so, meaning Iowa's own train wreck of an offense was at least more efficient. Sort of.
As for that Iowa offense, what's there to say? They clearly missed Adam Robinson's running ability when he went down with a re-injury of his ankle; he should be back in plenty of time for the bowl, so no real harm done here. But Brandon Wegher, from Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, one of the great town names in America (/Musberger'd), is really not an every-down back yet, and has no business trying to fill that role right now. That's not to say he's a bust or anything nearly as dour; it's just that there's a reason why, if all the tailbacks were healthy, he'd be about 4th or 5th string right now (Jewel Hampton, Robinson, Jeff Brinson, and maybe Paki Bomb). He's just a true freshman. Most true freshmen aren't ready to run the rock 25 times in a game--especially when they're evidently so green with the playbook that they're telegraphing every run play before the snap.
In fact, if this game proved anything, it's that injuries have wrecked any hope or semblance of consistency for the Iowa offense; James Vandenberg was the 20th different player to start on offense for Iowa this season. For the Iowa defense? 15--and two of those extra four starters were at the same position (Greg Castillo and Willie Lowe, for Shaun Prater at LCB). That's remarkably important; continuity is a big deal in a team sport like football, and as much as Kirk Ferentz and his staff preach the importance of the "next man in," with the notable exception of Riley Reiff, there's always been a marked dropoff in performance from starter to backup.
Thus, getting healthy for the bowl game and getting the best possible lineup (Bulaga, Dace Richardson, Rafael Eubanks, Reiff, and Kyle Calloway on the line; A-Rob and Brett Morse in the backfield; Trey Stross, Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, and Tony Moeaki as receivers) would be a welcome development for the offense. How many times has that ideal lineup been healthy and starting all at once? Twice: at Wisconsin and about the first 10 minutes of at Michigan State.
And let's not even get started on losing Hampton and Brinson before the season.
Yes, the above lineup is pretty unimpeachably Iowa's best; while Marvin McNutt is obviously talented, he's done his best as the third receiver instead of starting at wideout--think back to Mo Brown in 2002, for example. Unless something bad happens in practice between now and the bowl game, the Iowa offense is going to look a lot better, and it'll be independent of the playcalling (which always looks a lot better when the players can reliably execute it).
As for the defense, they were utterly lights-out; Weber was harassed throughout the day, and it's to his credit that he was "only" sacked five times. The Iowa defensive line combined for 7.0 TFL and 4 of the 5 sacks, and they abused the offensive line so thoroughly that Bob Griese was left questioning everything about the Gopher unit and their commitment to the sport. That was nice.
Really, this was as vintage a 2009 Iowa game as any this season. The offense struggled through injuries to key contributors but put up enough points to take a double-digit lead, and the defense choked the opposing offense to death long before the final whistle sounded. It's never been pretty, but at the end of the day, you cannot argue with this: it's another 10-win season for Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Well done, men. Well done indeed.
Now let's go cook up some steel bacon for dinner.

Fiesta bowl reps here in AZ
Seem pretty content to pick Iowa. Got a friend who works on essentially the bowl planning/setup committee at the airport here in PHX who just met with John Junker this week about Iowa coming here. However, Orange bowl is coming on strong the last few days it sounds like in the media. I’m hoping for Fiesta since i live in AZ, but i’d be pretty happy with Orange or Fiesta.

I think they dress up...
mostly at Ole Miss. Since Ole Miss football has not been good historically, and since they have the inferiority complex running on high gear since black people have been allowed to vote/live mildly decent lives, then they have to show everyone that they excel at something. And I guess they have picked “tailgating in the grove in a ‘civilized’ manner” as that something.
To anyone who was offended by my stereotype about Mississippi white people, just swallow your pride and admit that every word I said is true.

Dirty dishes and January surprises.
I think that when you win 6-2 12-0, and your offense has a box score that sits there like last night’s dirty dishes, you have one heckuva a team, and I enjoyed watching it. Can you imagine how frustrated Brewster is tonight? Too bad, for him. We were in total control, while going 1-13 on third downs. That’s mind-numbing.
Anyway, I thought Troy Johnson was all over the place. Bruce Davis, big plays. Frankly, I think Iowa is now Linebacker U.
And Safety U. If you think about it, I believe it was around about the Michigan game when teams just stopped throwing over the middle. They just stopped. They preferred to throw at Spievey — and Spievey will be in the NFL for 10 years — rather than throw over the middle. Of course, people beat on Prater like a rented mule, but he didn’t seem to mind much, and he is good, too.
I just hope we get an SEC team in the bowl. It’s really a second season, and a good one for this execution-oriented staff. Two weeks to mess around, then a second ‘camp’, then the game in the sun. This is a very, very special team. Just go look at that box score, and think about how (despite the worst numbers we can remember on offense) Minnesota had no chance in this game. We can beat anybody if we get the Manzi, A-Rob, Dace, back — and everyone else, fresh. Anybody. No one will believe it, and that is just fine. We’ll be their January surprise.

It all comes down to the SEC Championship game
Florida wins, and Tebow doesn’t look like a retarded monkey, he wins the Heisman. If Florida loses, he doesn’t win it. His stats are outrageous, but career-wise, they’ve been built on a ridiculous sophomore campaign for a thoroughly average Florida team and two defense-dominated teams the past season. Tebow is an amazing college player, but not nearly as much as the media would have you believe.
And Tommy Frazier still wants his title as greatest college player ever (it pains me so much to type this).

It is comforting to know that next weekend, there will be no STANZI or (almost) VANDI-BALLS, or sending a freshman running back into a line with no open holes or no adjustments from KOK on blitzing outside LBs after the 4th, 5th or 6th time in a half.
I give a content sigh of relief tonight that the Hawks heavy work is done, that they were overwhelmingly successful this season even if they were overwhelmingly maddening at times and now they and we rest up for whatever rewards await.

around Chicago, they've been reporting Ferentz or Stoops
as leading candidates to replace Charlie at ND. They don’t have a snowballs chance in hell at getting either of those guys.
So what’s more amusing?
a) The continued futility of ND on the field
or
b) the continuing delusion that any coach ND calls will come begging for the job.
I vote b. I mean, why not just call JoePa. Maybe he is interested. It is ND, after all.

Most people close to ND say the Ferentz rumor is complete media-created bullshit for what that's worth
At least this is what the one ND superfan I know tells me. He’s pretty plugged in, so I’m inclined to believe him.

This was reported by the chicago sun times
which is pretty plugged in to what a subset of Chicago based ND boosters are thinking. Not necessarily what the administration is thinking.
I am not worried about Ferentz leaving for ND. Pros at some point, maybe.

Honestly, I think the list of coaches who wouldn’t at least seriously consider the ND job is pretty slim. Yeah, they’ve been on a downswing, but the program still has a lot of prestige, and a ton of money to throw around.

What I find amusing....
is that boosters and such actually consider that job desirable still. Kirk, Stoops, Meyers, and other in similar situations would NEVER leave the schools they are at (where they have a high level of security) for a 3-4 year shot at making ND slightly better.

My thoughts...
While I want to believe Ferentz would never leave Iowa, there are a few things that make me wonder:
a) I think he may be getting sick of some of the media and the microscope (not that it would be better anywhere else worth going).
b) I think he is Catholic, and I think he has family in Pittsburgh or near there. To me, that makes ND and PSU at least slight possibilities.
c) If they don’t do something pretty special next year, you kind of wonder if they ever will. They have had very good years with some strange combos (2002-3 with a lot of “out-of-nowhere” guys, the 2004 year with a pretty young team, last year with an offense in transition with Greene and Stanzi, and this year with a ton of young guys and a few of the ‘great class of 05’ sprinkled in). You have to wonder how long he can keep doing it with such good fortune (despite the injuries) Or, maybe the staff is just that amazing.
So, if they don’t break through next year (maybe beat OSU, probably win the Big Ten, and maybe do something on the national stage), then I wonder if he would want the resources that a bigger job would have. Then again, maybe I am just being the pessimist that I often am.
As for Notre Dame, I am Catholic and I have rooted for them for almost as long (but with less passion) as I have for Iowa. They deserve the Weis era for the way they treated Willingham. If they can’t pry an established, winning, college coach from another program, then that tells me they will have to look at mid-level coaches, or good college assistants, or NFL assistants. Here are some of those:
Turner Gill, Brian Kelly, Greg Schiano, Jim Harbaugh. Bud Foster, Jim Heacock, Kevin Wilson.
I don’t know if ND can get a former pro coach who would give them instant credibility, like Cowher, Shanahan, Holmgren, etc.
If he was a bit younger, I think I’d do nearly whatever it took to get Norm Chow, and then I’d hire an aggressive D coordinator.

I'm not sure
Meyer is just enough of an arrogant prick to take it and be convinced he could return it to glory. Especially since if he leaves this year, there will be no real expectations on him for 2-3 years and Florida is going to experience a MAJOR drop-off after this year (for next season, at least). I put the likelihood of Meyer leaving at less than 50%, but he’s definitely shown that he knows when to eject from a program at its height and land somewhere better.

Not cadidates
Just the coaches ND would most like to have. I can’t see either one moving to South Bend.
ND has been delusional for years. They have the ability to attract a great coach, but not one that is already established at a school with big time resources.
When Ferentz does leave Iowa, I think he’ll rest for a season or two, then go to the pros in some capacity. Not neccesarily a coach, maybe a GM or something.
In 100 years, we'll all be dead.
by Flakbait on Nov 21, 2009 9:09 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
THis is what I think too.
I don’t think he’ll “leave” Iowa until he retires. And I actually would be very surprised if he went after a head coaching job in the NFL. GM or something like that, yeah, I could definitely see that – eventually. But even then, I think it’d be after he’d been at Iowa (as a HC) for 20(?) years, and I could just as easily see him retiring altogether to enjoy his grandkids.

What is really funny is that they could hire Porky Pig to coach ND...
…and next year, ND will go 8-4, EASY, because they have a lot of talented upper classmen on offense and teams are always more enthusiastic for new coaches. Don’t matter who they get—they WILL be better than this year.
Only caveat is that they lose a lot on the o-line, IIRC, but Claussen is back, and others, so they’ll all think, “Yeah, getting rid of Charlie was EXACTLY what we needed!”
That’s just how it sometimes goes. I hope not, since I want ND to TANK and lose the NBC contract and join the B10, but that’s how I think it will play out.

Do we want Oregon or Zona to win?
Arizona winning helps Iowa’s SOS, but also increases the odds that the Pac10 gets two BCS bids. If Oregon doesn’t win the Pac10 they are in the at large pool to fight Iowa, Boise, Pitt and OkSt for the last 2 bids.

The trophy originated from a bet between the Iowa and Minnesota governors back in the day, which said that the loser would send the winner a prized hog from their state. Minnesota won, and so they got the actual Floyd of Rosedale.

If they play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl then Ohio State has a real good shot, despite the built-in challenges of a Big Ten team playing the Rose Bowl.

KF commentary and the bowl game
First, KF has made it explicitly clear that he wanted to his kids to have a stable atmosphere growing up (not hop from city to city every couple of years like a lot of coaches). I believe his youngest is either a sophomore or junior in high school this year (something that KF has emphasized in interviews this year). So if KF is to leave, I see him leaving in a couple of years after his youngest graduates. Who knows though, maybe KF’s dream job is to coach the packers or the bears—it looks like both could be available at the end of the season. I’m a Packer fan so I’m praying they fire Mike McCheeseburger sooner rather than later.
Second (and related to OPS post), I hope to see a tremendous improvement in the offense during the bowl game. The coaches will have over a month to address problems with the offense. I don’t know how much a performance in a bowl game carries over to the following season, but I cannot help but believe that a solid performance in a bowl game against a solid opponent would build some confidence. If Stanzi is able to play, it will be interesting to see whether he gained some perspective on how to run the offense while he was out with injury. I guess I am praying that Stanzi’s propensity to throw interceptions is correctable and is something that we will not see next year.
