Kirk is usually not in the business of making promises to recruits, guys in the portal, current players, or anyone.

Perhaps he will do something about the offense

I just can't believe someone didn't talk to Cade about what a bad decision this might be, or probably will be.
Hell, his mother probably knows better

Kirk has to do something about the offense. They aren't going to magically get better just because they added Cade. If the only changes are adding Cade...they're still gonna suck. Cade isn't the type of guy who can carry an offense on his back.

Gavin Williams is waving goodbye to Kinnick Stadium.

Williams announced Friday that he would be leaving Iowa following the 2022 season. Williams will have 2 years of eligibility left at his next school.


Williams finished 2nd in rushing yards last season behind Tyler Goodson, totaling 305 yards off 65 carries. In 10 games this past fall, Williams primarily served as the No. 3 running back behind Kaleb Johnson and Leshon Williams, recording 43 carries for 138 yards.

During his 3 seasons in Iowa City, Gavin Williams averaged 4.1 yards per carry and finished with 471 yards on the ground. He did not score a touchdown during his tenure in the Hawkeyes’ backfield.

According to an article today in the Des Moines Register / Iowa City Press / Hawk Central, 5* recruit Kadyn Proctor, who previously committed to Iowa, but recently visited Oregon, is now considered likely to keep his commitment to Iowa.
Rivals shows two 3* WR recruits are committed to Iowa. Iowa desperately needs transfer portal WR recruits, or prepare for more of the same as we have seen in the Brian Ferentz era.

the fact that Iowa is still in the Brian Ferentz era blows my mind. Kirk really just don't give a shite anymore.

I'm certain that there are diehards like us somewhere in Iowa in the ICU because of it

not sure what Cade is thinking here. unless Brian Ferentz gets the axe and they bring in an OC who runs a QB friendly system and they get a couple WRs in the portal- Cade is going to struggle big time in Iowa. He's a decent player but in all honesty he really isn't that good. He's just OK. Medicore.
There is speculation among Iowa fans, that Josh Gattis may be the next OC for Iowa.  It's about the only reason we can think of why Cade would want to come to Iowa.  Gattis was the OC for Michigan in 2021 when Cade was startin at QB.  Gattis left for Miami in 2022 and the word is that he is not coming back to Miami

So far WR Keegan Johnson, WR Isaac Bruce, RB Gavin Williams, QB Alex Padilla have announced they are leaving. 

Sounds like a big overhaul is coming on offense. Rumors are that the WR and OL coaches are getting fired. 

Another rumor that Josh Gattis may be the next OC.  Along with the Mich QB we already know is coming,  there is also a rumor that a Mich TE is transferring to Iowa.  Stay tuned.

man not sure Gattis is that much of an improvement. Gattis is being run out of town in Miami.

Brian as O-line coach and assistant head coach?

Josh Gattis was a DB at Wake Forest. When will Iowa get a QB coach, who was a QB? I propose Jon Budmayr as WR and QB coach. Gattis's 2021 Michigan was 16th in points scored, 25th in YPG. YPG is a statistic Kirk Ferentz believes is the least meaningful in college football. So, this hire might square with Iowa inoffensive philosophy. Frankly, 25th in YPG is better than 130/131 as Iowa was in 2022, and better that Iowa was at 121/130 in 2021. 
Gattis to Iowa at offensive coordinator would be an improvement.
I couldn't believe Brian Ferentz was retained at offensive coordinator after 2021, nor could Charlie Jones.

It sounds like Jon Budmayr as QB coach is already a done deal, and his relationship with the McNamara family played a large role in Cade coming to Iowa.

Not really sure I buy Gattis coming in at OC unless Brian is leaving the program all together. And if that's the case, I'd rather have Paul Chryst (if he's interested).

Brian as OL coach and run game coordinator with Budmayr as QB coach and pass game coordinator is being thrown around quite a bit, but I don't know if there is anything to that other than speculation.

I wouldn't mind seeing McNutt get a crack at WR coach if Copeland is gone.
