This on Stoops

His 1st game playing he passed for 2 TD's . He was not that bad. The blame has to go to the OL. They are letting the QB get sacked to many times.
His pass to Briwn was spot on. Right in the hands. Brown just dropped it. That’s on Brown. People cramping on Sheron are covering up for the line for some damn reason.

Trick plays are usually a sign of desperation. There was no reason to be desperate towards South Carolina. South Carolina has been pretty bad all year. It’s as if stoops had to jump in the hog Waller with Beamer when he didn’t have to.
 
Idiot, Steve McNair was out quite a few games with the same injury.
Lol, Steve McNair, a ancient comparison, people didnt play with broken pinkies back then, man up, only idiot on here is you trolling and calling everybody else one, go play with kids...bye boy
 
This is now what, OC #5? #6? I can’t remember anymore. Anyway, Stoops controls what the offense is. I’m not saying he’s meddling in play calling or anything like that. But his OCs are clearly brought in and told what is expected out of them and it‘s always going to be complementary to his conservative, defensive oriented approach. This is almost inarguable at this point.
This is EXACTLY what's going on here at Iowa right now-- it is just going much worse. Kirk Ferentz controls the offense-- gives his OC a box to work within (a limited box mind you). He's made it work because of an exceptional defense through the years but now this season has been rough and the offense has been completely exposed and nobody is happy about it.

We took a step under Coen for the positives but this is the most classic stoops ball we’ve ever seen.
 
Why would we not want an offense like MS ST that can score points quickly and always have a good QB that can pass the ball a lot and be effective? Why not immulate that offense with the weapons we have this year? They are scoring a lot of points and you know their QB and receivers are probably similar to ours. Obvious we have ONE stud runner so it seems that emphasizing a high powered passing attack to take pressure off that one runner makes more sense.
 
If you supposedly have a top 10 quarterback, no way he sits out with injury to non throwing hand, took this game for granted, tired of his foolishness

I have felt this way for the longest time. Why would you not want to put the best possible offense on the field along with the best possible defense? Screw the two having to "work together". Your defensive stats may suffer a bit, but who cares. You're still trotting the same guys onto the field there. Just because what Stoops has done to this point has worked better than previous coaches, it doesn't necessarily mean that's the best that can be done.

I think we can all agree that the offensive talent on this team is capable of far more than it has shown to this point. Yes, we've had OL troubles, and that is big. But, when you have a bad OL, you run plays to get the ball out of the QBs hand quicker, not continue to run the same long developing plays and taking a record number of sacks. But, this is the offense Stoops wants.

BTW, I recall previous OCs, maybe even Coen talk about playing faster, getting off more plays. I'm starting to think that was all just a bunch of BS and that it was never the intention. But, the fanbase gets excited when you tell them that, or when you bring in a new OC. But, then they do the same crap with it. Huddling, taking their sweet time lining up, snapping the ball with 2 seconds left on the play clock. I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT CRAP A 6th TIME!!!
