I mean he’s won 10 games 2 out of the last three years. He’s winning at a level that he’s entitled to give the middle fingers to the fans if he likes. If they want to be entertained; they can go watch somebody else.

I just don’t understand football coach mindset sometimes. I get that it’s not easy to be good on both sides of the ball and that they win games anyway, but why do some coaches refuse to even try? Iowa has had teams that would be national title contenders if they had even an average offense. They always have dudes in the trenches and often even some decent skill guys. Why is it bad to try to break 20 points per game? Why did Narduzzi blow up an offense that won him a conference title?

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
Conservative coach-brain was the overwhelmingly dominant mindset as recently as 10-15 years ago, and many of those people are still alive

That mirage will unravel completely in the new Big Ten with four new teams and no divisions.

Iowa won 10 games while getting shut out 3 times. Penn State gave them their worst shut out loss in 20 years. Iowa is the only P5 team to get shut out 3 times in one season in the last 20 years that was any better than 3-9 or so.

How do you whiff on Kevin Johns? He must have turned down Iowa, not vice versa.

You can ignore the pass if you are actually good at rushing. Just look at Michigan. Just be a mediocre version of that - big giant linemen grinding defences to a pulp until they tire out.

8-9 wins still seems reasonable for them in a given year; even without the luxury of the annual West schedule it’s not like the Big Ten is suddenly short on bad teams overall.

I've been to a few UH-Rice games there and the place was so outdated it was basically a high school auditorium in a bad way. Like you could still make out the faded out words COLORED ONLY and WHITES ONLY on the restroom doors. I heard Tudor finally got renovated a few years back.

Kayak is true

Rabbit (Dadrian Taylor-Demerson) is an exceptional safety. Undersized a bit, but fast enough to make up for it (hence the rabbit nickname). Definite NFL potential.

He is a top tier S&C coach which is probably good. S&C coaches are infinitely more valuable at the college level due to their ability to recruit and are not bound by the same hour restrictions with players as other coaching staff. Its a bigger loss to Michigan than it is a gain to the Chargers.

Not for Michigan! Herbert was basically seen as the most important behind-the-scenes guy.

In college, the strength coach is generally the head coach's first and most important hire. The strength coach has the most contact with the players on a daily basis. The DC Minter was kinda seen as the #1 goal to retain, but that wasn't really possible, and Herbert was #2. Sounding like Michigan is going to promote Herbert's assistant.

Too add to this:

Herbert is seen as a Top 5 S&C in all of college football. If you've ever seen Michigan's OLine & DLine and compared that to other schools, they look like freaks.

It did. Back when I was in school, one side of the court was still occupied by a large curtain (with some badminton? courts behind it). The student section kinda leaned into it and started a "fear the curtain" chant, and at one point ESPN was there for a game and teased going into a commercial that they'd reveal what was behind the curtain.

Rice Stadium does still have faint remnants of the white/colored bathroom signage, I'm fairly sure.
