Why the hell is Iowa paying their QB coach $625,000 annually? What is going on down in Iowa City?

Who signed off on this? Nate Stanley and the passing game isn’t terrible, but are they really getting a nice return on that $625,000?

I’d say absolutely not. Not even close.

I’d understand Clemson and Alabama leading the country in money for a quarterback coach. That’d actually make a ton of sense.

They are yearly contenders for the national title. Iowa? Not a chance. Again, Stanley isn’t a bad passer, but the Hawkeyes aren’t damn near good enough throwing at the ball to justify this kind of salary.

Hell, I’d even understand Wisconsin spending a ton of money on a quarterback coach to help the rushing game.

Iowa leading the way is laugh-out-loud funny. What a joke.
