Re: C. J. Beatherd

Beathard isn't coming to UNI.

Odds are against it, but he'd be stupid not to transfer to a FCS school. He could play right away, and the public vibe around the Iowa program is pretty damn negative. There's a good chance there will be changes with the offensive assistants. If he's a forward looking guy, he leaves.

Re: C. J. Beatherd

The chances of Kirk shaking up his staff, especially the coordinator positions, is about 1%. This means CJ is never going to get a legit shot to start unless Rudock tears his ACL.

Personally I would love to see a gunslinger like CJ in the dome.

if I would cheer for that young man he would need a hair cut. He looks like a cotton headed nitty muggins....

Best post ever.

...and this team is going nowhere and Farley will be fired at the end of the year, right?

Never said Farley was going to be fired. I simply said if they missed the playoffs he should be. When I started that thread it didn't look very good.

Re: C. J. Beatherd

Jake is starting the bowl game vs Tennessee. But CJ will take some plays as a part of the rotation. It all depends on how much CJ plays in the bowl game. Kirk is an idiot (no surprise there) for not playing CJ over Jake. I would love to see CJ in purple and gold

I really hope CJ transfers to UNI at the end of this season. He would be fun to watch; someone who can throw the ball and escape the pocket.

I don't see any way he stays at Iowa. I would love him here but I think it much more likely he goes someplace like Chattanooga.

Re: C. J. Beatherd

I think it would be poetic if CJ got the start and threw a couple pick 6's in a Tennessee rout just to make everyone in black and gold look ridiculous.

Re: C. J. Beatherd

He'd sit behind the coaches kid for a year I doubt he goes there

Re: C. J. Beatherd

I bet he transfers to FCS. It'll probably be a team in the MVFC, that's my best guess. I'd like to see CJ play against Iowa. And have him completely shred Iowa's defense. KF would look like a fool for not starting CJ.

Re: C. J. Beatherd

What do you all think about the way his dad went public about reconsidering his future if he doesn't play in the bowl game? That can't turn out good for the player/coach relationship, even if he plays well.

You start bending to people making statements about transferring if they don't see playing time all of a sudden more players will do the same and soon you have lost control of the program. Its a tough position to be in.

Sounds like he might be a problem. Just what we need.

Because most Hawk fans think he should have been starting most of the year.

Coaches deal with this kind of thing from parents/boosters all the time. The only difference here is that it's the highest profile position, it's playing out in the media, and many Iowa fans are ready to stage a "mutiny" given the way the season unfolded. If you asked Farley and Jacobsen, I guarantee you they'd tell you they've dealt with many similar situations (minus the front page headlines).
