    Depaepe recruitment?

    fit is not the same as talent.

    KF says offense needs to get better, but no big changes planned

    Insanity...doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

    Next Michigan coach?

    and gave him a $2M bonus this year. Harbaugh's desire to return to the NFL and win a Super Bowl is the real reason. He's openly told recruits that he would look at moving to the NFL if the right opportunity presented itself.

    Cornhuskers are the college football equivalent of the retiree who wears his high school letter jacket to try to pick up girls.

    Nope, Oklahoma is in much better recruiting territory and has been an elite program in the 21st century. (Double digit wins 16 of the last 20 years). The SEC is certainly tougher than the "big" 12 but they'll compete. Nebraska was starting to show cracks before joining the B1G, even though...

    Hayden Fry "brought it"...

    Understand about ignoring some of the facts. I'd add that misinterpreting facts or data also comes into play. I'm just tired of people throwing around the word "hate" so cheaply.

    haven't been to a home Hawk game for years (Melrose Ave)

    If you haven't been on Melrose in 10-15 years...you'll be sorely disappointed. The PC fun police have done their job. It's a shell of its former self.

    Hayden Fry "brought it"...

    Nobody "hates" KFz...but they do hate stupid comments like that.

    Alumni Committee Dissolved

    As is often the case with clones....the douche adding the emojis to all these posts is completely unaware that he's providing a shining example of exactly what we're referring to. Some things never change.

    Sometimes the better team loses…

    I guess it's in how you define "better team". The team that executes the most most plays necessary to win the game would seem to be the "better team".

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    I get what you're saying, and of course we're comparing different eras. I'm aware that people tend to remember things the way they want to...and try to check myself on it. There's also the "if you weren't there you may not understand" angle. Hayden had a little extra something (his psychology)...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    Yes and No. ISU had some good years and bad years against Hayden, but yes they're a better program now. Either way Hayden bitch-stomped them...KFz has lost to inferior ISU teams on multiple occassions. Also, keep in mind ISU had the more successful program when Hayden came to Iowa City. He...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    The B1G is certainly more balanced now. KFz has most definitely had the benefit of more easy non-cons. 1 extra per season since 2006

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    Fair enough, but again you're talking about records, how tough their competition was etc...looking at their career win/loss trajectory. This isn't "who's career was better?". Both have done well for IOWA, we've been fortunate to have 'em. My question is strictly about game day coaching. KFz's...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    Their career winning %s at Iowa are very similar. That's not the point. It's who would out coach whom on the sidelines. What's your opinion? It's just beer talk, but if they were to meet hypothetically with similar levels of talent on their squad who would win the most head-to-head?

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    So leave out ISU as they're P5, fair enough. (though you must admit KFz lost to them far too many times when he shouldn't have) The rest are still teams you should never lose to at home. Champion or not, you said it best w regard to NDSU. "FCS". Period. WMU was 5-7 in 2007 NIU was good in...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    Depends on where you draw the metric. Sub .500 is one way. I was referring to lower division opponents, non p5 teams. The ones you should never lose. Losing to a B1G team is no great embarrassment, even one with a sub .500 record. Upsets happen. Losing to NDSU, Western Michigan, Central...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    No, I remember Hayden quite well...and accurately. He had his flaws too and yes social media would have gone after him today (who doesn't get that treatment?). Some reporters did, just like today with KFz. KFz's record against Top 25 teams is better. His record against lesser teams he should...

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    It was replaced by "we do what we do". We've been fortunate to have 2 terrific coaches over the last 40+ years. But make no mistake, Hayden would beat Kirk 7 out of 10.

    A couple of coach Fry questions

    Fry did some quirky things like punting on 3rd down as much to keep the opposition off balance and shake things up as anything. He was always playing psychology with the opposing HC. And yes, with Reggie Roby he had quite a weapon for field position. On the first offensive possession of his...
