My thoughts on order of priority of what needs to change/improve next year:
1. DC
2. OL/OL coach
3. CB
4. LB
5. WR
6. OC

Thoughts?
 


Without focusing on coaching, we need DL and CB. I still think we have some talent in the OL room and I’m not sure why those two transfers got pushed to the front of the line on the right side finally benched 74 yesterday; i’ll be at game 11?
 


I’d add: Athletic/pass catching threat TE. Way down the list as . . .

Nothing matters more than OL, DL, and secondary, however.

I’d say new kicker, but we already have him on the roster.
 








D coordinator
Cornerbacks
Linebackers
O linemen
O coordinator
Aggressive play calling
Kicker
 


This makes absolutley no sense
We will agree to disagree. When our Oline can't push a smaller FCS Defensive line on a Tush Push there is a probably both a technique and strength problem.

Chris Doyle the strength & conditioning coach is the one given the credit for Iowa producing NFL offensive linemen.

Dear Santa,

I've been a very good boy for 50 years other than the time when my Dad found his Playboys under my mattress and I blamed my little sister. Please disregard that momentary lapse of judgement and consider my list:

1. NIL cash...lots of cash.
2. New Athletic Director
3. Football General Manager
4. New DC...ours is broken.
5. Increased coaching budget
6. Lou Nanne Fundraising action figure

Send the Do-It-Yourself Breathalyzer Kit to WI and the "Fair Catch for Dummies" manual to IA.

You forgot to mention his "nutritional supplement" program.

Is Roman Voss gonna play coming in? I have Tyler Warren level aspirations for him
 

I'm looking at Lou Esposito to be a candidate for the DC position. Lou is the defensive line coach at Michigan. Who was a former bronco at Western after PJ became the head coach here. Start with the guys up front will bring up the rest of the defensive unit. A highly ranked recruiter according to 24/7.
 


While everyone else nibbles around the edges, I am ready for a complete regime change.

Put any Big Ten team on our schedule for this Saturday (or in 2026) that you would circle as a guaranteed win.

Below are your choices. I'll go first............🤔😧🤷🏼‍♂️
