Apparently he does better with less which is shocking bc you would think he should have done better with more.

Competition level.

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/scott-frost-rumored-offensive-coordinator-target-iowa Scott Frost and Iowa never thought I'd mention them both together???? Iowa is moving on from Brian Ferentz.  Husker fans aren't going to take to kindly to him being on their sidelines or will they??

No doubt.  Just didn't think his defense would turn out to be so horribly bad here.

I don't see him coming back to the BIG10.

I can see it, and I can see him doing really well.  He belongs as an OC with someone providing oversight.  Some people shouldn't be promoted past the job they are really good at.

Oh I can see him coming back as an OC just not in the BIG10

I'd be curious to see how this would go.  I think it could be argued that his OC experience (success) was on the coat tails of others.

I think he's a good OC. Even during his time here, there was a lot of praise from neutral observers about his scheme and gameplans. It was just all of the other stuff that he was terrible at, and then the scheme suffered trying to make up for self-inflicted deficiencies.

 

That said Iowa isn't a good fit. The Big Ten in general is tough, but I think he could run a good offense in the right situation. But a lot of head coaches (Ferentz included) would have limitations on how he runs the offense and I don't see Frost going for that.

Logan Smothers into the game for Jax State after their starting QB goes into the tent. Runs for a first down on his first play.

And he looks pretty good now in the second half.   Glad he got a chance to play in a bowl game finally.

Smoothers looks good!

And now he is hurt.   At least he got a touchdown.

Scott Frost's offense behind an offensive line he'll inherit from Iowa would be downright dangerous. Anyone thinking different if fooling themselves. Under Frost we moved the ball exceptionally well, but didn't have the brute strength in the lineman in the red zone. Iowa does.

Don’t how well those OL or any pieces of that offense fit his scheme. Up tempo high octane offense doesn’t fit their overall team philosophy. They like TOP, good punts, no turnovers. Imagine their 265 pound QB that struggles to hand the ball off on outside zone running the read option out of the gun.

A couple of things I wonder:

 

How would KF deal with 20 second offensive series with a quick 3 and out if it happened.

 

Also how would KF deal with all of the SF BS if it is still going on?

 

But, if the 2 styles could mesh perfectly, it would be crazy.
