Tim Lester plans an aggressive approach to fixing Iowa’s worst in the nation offense. The former head coach at Western Michigan was introduced as the Hawkeyes’ new offensive coordinator. He spent the past season as an analyst with the Green Bay Packers.
Lester’s offenses have featured a lot of run-pass-option which would be a new look for the Hawkeyes. His main goal is to develop an offense to fit the quarterback.
As Lester installs his offense he will be waiting on starting quarterback Cade McNamara. He is recovering from an ACL injury suffered in a week five win over Michigan State and won’t be available for spring drills.
Lester knows all about Iowa’s history of developing outstanding tight ends and says his offense over the years has featured a lot of the two tight end sets that the Hawkeyes employ.
Lester plans to coach from the press box and will also serve as quarterbacks coach. He looks forward to working with McNamara.
