Iowa - What Did We Learn

Matt's officially on the hot seat. Absolutely tanking the back half of the season in year 3 is completely unacceptable. He better get some serious talent in here during the off-season, and can a few coaches or he needs to go.

Maybe Penn State still wants him...
 
1.Butler can go
2. Rhules seat should be as hot as Madison Beer
3.EJ should skip the bowl game and enter the draft.
4. There shouldn't be a single Raiola on the sidelines next year
5 . Ten new Olinemen are needed
6. Guthrie can leave too
7. Need a dozen plus new front 7 on defense
 
It was great to watch the game with my son, who finished his CFB carrer 2 years ago. The LB's are the worst part of our D. The DL is not near the problem the LBs are. They are slow to react, quick to puss out on plays. Bad angles.

#21 suck on D today.

On O, our OL is not as much of the problem today. We had drops by WRs and their inability to get open. I am not sure whether it is scheme or ability.

#21 on O is a STUD!

OC and DC need to go.
 
I said it in the game thread. I said it last year when the team was underperforming. I started questioning it in Rhule year 1.

This is not about a magical Rhule year 3 in college football. That's the wrong story. Rhule has been dominated by top 25 teams. Rhule got blasted in the NFL. Rhule is not good in the B1G. What does this all mean? Rhule's 3rd years do not matter. Rhule's inability to compete against the elite is the story. He cannot do it.

More proof:

- This is the guy that tried to sell us on Jeff Sims being elite
- This is the guy that hired a 23 year old to coach WRs...in the B!G
- This is the guy who thought Satterfield was OC material
- This is the guy who kept Donnie Raiola, the only coach kept from the prior Staff, because he went ALL IN on Dylan. The latter Raiola has not lived up to the hype, and in part, because his uncle (oh irony) is so bad at coaching.

And CEO Rhule brings in more layers to keep him as the podcaster CEO while these amateurs continue to get outcoached.

I haven't even gotten to the players yet. And I'll refrain...you can come in with 6 stars per player, but if you get these clowns "developing" you, you're doing nothing but going backwards.
 
Holgorsen has been really bad in short yardage situations all year. Having a running back with 217 yards rushing, 22 yards receiving, but then only putting up 16 points is just so terrible.

Our defensive line is awful.

There was no progress made in year three when you adjust for not having to play Indiana or Illinois this year.

The terrible defensive play made the special teams improvements a wash.
