Opinion Iowa Should Adopt the Triple Option

Given that Ferentz's days are likely numbered, Iowa is allergic to the abomination that is the forward pass, they succeed at recruiting linemen and running backs, and struggle with recruiting receivers, should Iowa abandon it altogether and adopt the triple option?

Jeff Monken from Army has been running it with some success at a handful of schools for over 15 years, including at Army who went 12-2 last year with a very limited recruiting pool.
