OT: Scott Frost rumored to be next Iowa OC
https://athlonsports.com/college-football/scott-frost-rumored-offensive-coordinator-target-iowa
Only rumors at this point. But this would be hilarious, and might drag Iowa's offense out of the Ferentz Zone.
I hope he gets a 25 ppg contract clause too lol
December 14th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
How does his mom feel about this?
December 14th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
She'll be sure that her Scotty deserves all the credit once their team wins something over the Wolverwhines
December 14th, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Oh, Scotty doesn't know
So don't tell Scotty
Scotty doesn't know
Scotty doesn't know
(So don't tell Scotty)
December 14th, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Are we really still talking about this, from 6 years ago we are still taking shots at this guys mom?
December 14th, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
December 14th, 2023 at 5:52 PM ^
She's probably ecstatic that her son is getting along so well with his new stepdad.
December 14th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
All I know is that regardless of points, the Iowa team is going to hit harder than any other team in these United States. Mark my word
December 14th, 2023 at 6:47 PM ^
Does this mean Iowa will begin losing every game by 3 points?
December 14th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
"They got corn there?"
"Yup."
"Do I need to travel up or down any of them hill things?"
"Nope.
"We're in. Scott, go pack your bags!"
December 14th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Btw is there a source for that story? I'd love to show it to some people when I get into an argument about 1997
December 14th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
How does Corey Perry feel about Scotty’s Mom ? Too old ?
December 14th, 2023 at 10:10 PM ^
Scott Frost's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want
And I've waited for so long
Scotty, can't you see?
Your mom's the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but
I'm in love with Scott Frost's mom
December 15th, 2023 at 12:01 AM ^
I can tell that she cares, when she tells the WR you missed a block over there-he-he-he-har
December 14th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Actually...reliable sources for this seem to be pretty nonexistant. The Pat McAfee Show is not a reliable source, unless you want to hear Aaron Rodgers' opinion on Aaron Rodgers.
Let the negbombing commence?
December 14th, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
Is that the deep v tank and gold chain wearing broski?
December 14th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Brother, if you know not of Pat McAfee...you are doing something right in life, and I envy you.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
i only know what he looks like, and wearing a wife-beater T with a puffy, dough-boy build is an embarrassment.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
One must have any kind of self awareness in order to feel embarrassment.
Pat McAfee is not afflicted with the curse of self awareness.
December 14th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
I think I'm due for a wardrobe change.
December 14th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
rgard, you are too modest!
December 14th, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
I’ve managed to not yet hear him and still I promise you that I can’t unknow that I’ve seen him
December 14th, 2023 at 8:15 PM ^
Yes and I'm one of the MILLIONS (waaaaa) and MILLIONS (waaaaa) of people who absolutely hate him
December 14th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
I accidentally saw some ESPN programming while visiting a sports card store the other day and was shocked at how much the shows resembled the stuff my toddlers watch.
It was strange to people in costumes and dancing around in shows for adults.
December 14th, 2023 at 6:44 PM ^
Wait, there are still sports card stores? Where was this?
January 9th, 2024 at 1:22 AM ^
"Sports cards" but they mostly do Magic now. And admittedly I was there to play board games, but it's in Wyoming (NTW), Michigan.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
That would be a great hire for Iowa. Frost always seemed to scheme good plays (at least against Michigan). The problem was getting his players to execute and/or not turn the damn ball over.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Just wait until he manages to sabotage Iowa's special teams.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
So are they “good plays” if the players cannot execute them?
Seems important.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Sure. For example, if you scheme a nice pass play and the player drops the ball or the QB throws a stupid interception. I'd say that's a good play call with bad execution. Or if you set up a nice reverse that could go big except one receiver misses a block. Again, that would be a good play call with poor execution.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
But if you're asking that receiver to block a DE, or that receiver never makes the block, then is it still a good play call?
Good play calling should take into account the strengths and weaknesses of your team. Most of us have said that it was good play calling to run it 30+ against PSU, for example, and it's tough to call anything other than short passes if your QB has a popgun or your OL is an open door for pass rushers.
All that said, Frost will have some pieces to maneuver, and if he can deploy them to use their strengths and hide their weaknesses I would count it as a success.
December 14th, 2023 at 6:01 PM ^
Well, yeah. If you're asking the WR to block a DE, that might be a bad play call. I was thinking more about blocking a CB, which is more common than a crack block on a DE on a reverse.
If the coach is asking the player to do something they cannot do, or shouldn't be expected to be able to do, then it's obviously a bad play call. That's not what I was talking about and/or what I've seen from Scott Frost.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
This is my comment, basically. I think Iowa has a 'culture of execution' for other phases of the game, and this might really help Frost ripen as an OC--and a coach. I could see both parties really benefiting from this.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
Hey John McKay, how do you feel about the execution of Iowa's offense?
I'm in favor it.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Well said Blue, this is a good opportunity for Frost to be in a position that leverages his strengths and where he is not as responsible for his blind spots!
December 14th, 2023 at 5:37 PM ^
It’s only a great hire if Frost stops acting like a frat boy parting every night and showing up late to meeting hung over
December 14th, 2023 at 5:52 PM ^
There’s and Iowa fan that goes to the same church as me. He’s been talking about Frost as Iowa’s OC for awhile!
December 14th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
They may or may not wins games, but let me tell you something... they gonna out hit everybody!
December 14th, 2023 at 6:28 PM ^
More importantly, they gonna outpuke everybody!
December 14th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
I'd actually love to see Frost take over and somehow be Ferentz' successor.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
That's almost like Lincoln Riley going out and hiring Brian Ferentz to be his OC. Its just such a cultural and philosophical clash with the kind of offense Kirk Ferentz has run since.....forever.
Either way, it would be interesting to watch. Scott Frost's offenses at Nebraska were actually pretty interesting to watch at times and could get really creative with playcalling. You know, when they weren't busy vomiting all over themselves and coughing up the game.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
Almost as bad as going from Lloyd Carr to Rich Rodriguez.
Too soon?
December 14th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
I hereby pledge that IF Scott Frost gets hired at Iowa, I will do another season of Iowatch.
You don't get these kinds of comedic football opportunities often in life. It would be tempting fate to ignore it.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:51 PM ^
Good - add another Frosty-led school we can continue to kick the shit out of.
His performance as Nebraska's coach was absolutely pathetic...
December 14th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
Poor Cade can't catch a break
December 14th, 2023 at 4:56 PM ^
Sounds like RichRod at Michigan 2.0.
December 14th, 2023 at 4:57 PM ^
Solid move for Frost. He has very very tiny shoes to fill.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Get Frost to run a triple option with passing TEs and just forget using WRs and youve got a recipe for success
December 14th, 2023 at 5:04 PM ^
Should be able to put together an O-Line with some big old corn fed boys.
I bet they out shit all of their opponents.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
Out shit. Nice.
December 14th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
Went out offensive coordinator shopping after the AD canned his son
That's when his telephone unexpectedly rang and it was old Scott Frost's mom
Please won't you hire my all-time meat-headed Cornhusker roid-rage angry son?
Heyyy Hawkeye Football, who did you install?
