KF has to go.
Raiola saved KF some criticism by fumbling.
What did KF do to earn praise for last night's victory?
Fickell won't last long at Wisky, but that shouldn't be a factor on KF being under pressure or being scrutinized.
The halftime show where the network people were making fun of Iowa is likely how Iowa football is perceived, nationally.
The longer he is kept around, the bigger the rebuild.
To some fans last nights game is the only way Iowa can win. It’s weird but even when Iowa ran all over other teams i don’t recall there being this “you sure you really want KF gone???!!?!” threads.
Maybe there are and I’m not as sensitive to it since the game wasn’t complete dogshit for 4 quarters (just 2)
Look, give Kirk credit last year and 2021 going to the championship game. Honestly that’s my goal every year cause if you give yourself that chance and win, then good things will happen. Most years it would mean a playoff berth
But what we have seen, and in 2015, is that Iowa is the fake id of college football, or one of them.
Iowa stands NO chance against quality opponents. Iowa held UM to their lowest output last year and it never felt like they had any chance once the score was 3-0
This is what HAS to change in the program. I don’t mind the bend - don’t break defense as it destroys really bad teams and can hang with good ones for a little while (exceptions happen). Special teams have been solid.
It’s the god damn offense. It’s been so bad for so long there’s no chance Kirk turns it around. Even with a generational talent in KJ, Iowa still couldn’t do shit against the best teams because it’s too much for a RB to handle.
So I’d like Kirk to retire. The next coach have similar philosophy on defense and special teams BUT try adapt to modern passing concepts.
