Iowa Football Makes Offensive Staff Hires

After I made incorrect prediction after incorrect prediction on the past several Pants Party Podcasts, the Iowa football team finally filled up two openings on its offensive staff.

And there you have it. Former Iowa running back Ladell Betts is returning to Iowa City to coach current Iowa running backs, and George Barnett is your new offensive line coach after holding the same position at Miami (Ohio) the past seven years. He’s been the assistant head coach/co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach in Miami since 2016.

It looks like Barnett was hired to coach offensive line at Tulane back in December, but Iowa must’ve given their guy a sweeter offer.
