Hmm? Is this game evidence of a talent gap or a coaching gap?
I have a hard time believing that Iowa is more talented than us by 3 TDs.

Well, first of all, its 29-10 if Nate Gerry is watching where he's going. Secondly, Iowa has made 3 plays that have actually hurt us.
3.
"Tommy is deciding before the play has even started who he is throwing too."
The color guy has figured something out a WHOLE bunch of you can't

that wasn't the question. Display even a little bit of reading comprehension next time.
Well if you know the formula to win a national championship is:
1.) Recruit top 10 recruting classes
2.) Develop said talent
Then you can agree that in two recruiting cycles Riley has shown he can't do 1. If he can't 2 is irrelevant since he won't win championships without 1.
I'll even give him 2 more years to see if he can even accomplish 1. After four years if he can't than cut your losses and hire somebody else and keep trying until you can get a coach who can do 1.
The problem is that because of TA's hammie they have to use him like a drop back passer
I hate to be the 'fire X!' But my word, special teams have been absolutely pathetic all season and somehow worse this game. Reed needs to be gone. This is embarrassing.
That looked pretty indisputable to me. About as indisputable as the overturned 1st down in the 1st qtr.
It's a combination of both I think. I do think Iowa has better football talent and probably overall better coaching too. So when we don't play well this is what you get.
TA has left AT LEAST 3 TDs on the field by over throwing guys that are 5 yards behind the defense... This game should be at least 33 to 31.
If you think that we had a good season then your sites aren't very high. 3 losses 2 blowouts no quality wins. You can say 9-3 all you want this team is terrible.
So, we should fire the coaches, because they call plays that should work, but they don't have a quarterback who can execute it.
And I'm the moron?
We had a better season than last year. I saw improvement and I saw a staff that actually coached up the secondary.
The team isn't terrible, you're overdramatic. The team is undertalented, doesn't have any depth and has NO play makers anywhere other than WR and we can't exploit our WR corps because we don't have quarterbacks.
But we should fire everybody because they've been here for two whole seasons.
It's evidence of an O line and QB talent gap. Nothing more. Our defense has missed assignments that led to huge plays but our QB play has been terrible. Actually I don't put this one on our O line today. TA has had all day to pass the ball and he's stunk it up mostly.
I cant say fire them, at least not this soon but at this point I honestly don't see this football program progressing any further than it did under Pelini..
Ferentz has 2 conference championships. Mike Riley has 0 conference championships. Zero in 16 years! To say they're in the same league is laughable.
Doubt Riley gets fired if he keeps doing what he's been doing. He's a respectable coach. Great? No. But he's done what he was hired to do and that's bring integrity back to the coaching staff in Lincoln. He's not the type of coach that is going to win
Championships, IMO, but he won't embarrass your program either.
Look, I'm glad we won more games than last year.....but our best wins were Wyoming and Minnesota. Nobody else we've beaten even has a winning record.
And I don't see a ton of optimism for next year. We will have a QB with zero experience, and lose many of our best playmakers (Westerkamp, Gerry, Carter, Moore, Reilly). We will be lucky to win the 9-win trophy next year.
