KIRK FERENTZ: First of all, just appreciate the opportunity to be here and represent the University of Iowa football program at this event.
That is what it is. I think the best thing about what we do, the basics haven't changed, and the single best part about coaching is being around good people, whether it's the young people most importantly you get to work with, or the staff, support staffs, all of those different groups, and kind of come together and have a chance to work for common things. That's really what makes this so enjoyable.
The key thing right now, just like it is every year, is what kind of growth can we demonstrate throughout the month of August and then certainly as the season goes on as well? The other thing, I think, of note for special teams is losing a player, Cooper DeJean, who's an outstanding defensive player, but also a great punt returner. That's something that I think is also impactful for our football team.
We paid for that, but I thought the guys did a great job of playing with what we had and maneuvering their way through and finding a way to win ten football games. KIRK FERENTZ: Every exposure is good, whether it's us implementing it and installing it during spring practice or watching other people do it at a proficient level.
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, I do. We played against him right here on this field a couple of years ago in December and got to see him that entire season on film, so we had great respect and admiration for him as a player, a competitor. We're eager to see all of our guys out there, but the quarterback position will be something of note, for sure.To follow up on what you were talking about with Tim Lester, can you go more in depth on his relationships with the quarterbacks on the roster and the impact that he's had on the offense as a whole in the short amount of time he's been there?
The players have really jumped in full bore with him, and that's what you hope to see with any coach.Sticking with the QBs, the depth chart that was just released had McNamara then Lainez, then Sullivan. Would you say that's still a pretty fluid situation, 1 through 3, with the quarterbacks at this point?
KIRK FERENTZ: Two things about Luke. You know him, so this will resonate. He's just one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's unbelievably just a nice human being, a really first-class guy.
