I will chip in $1… anyone else want to chime in?and he is signed thru 2029.
F'ing Barta.
I'll never stop being a Hawkeye fan, but lordy these are very trying times.
He has proven repeatedly with the Brian ordeal that he is incapable of doing the right thing when his family's financial interests are at stake. I hope that changes but I won't be holding my breathHopefully, he will do the right thing and retire
Golden parachute. Send him on his way.
I keep hearing that, and yet not once have I ever seen just what exactly "we paid" to get him.... Care to educate us...and expensive
look at the money we paid Cade
It might be worth it in the long run actually. These next couple of years are going to be tough without some major major changes.who's gonna cut the $30M check?
If fans quit going to games.......As soon as the athletic department starts losing their asses in revenue, maybe something will change.Only way to get rid of him is if he retires early. No way we fire/buyout his contract. He'll end it on his terms and there's nothing we can do about it.
who's gonna cut the $30M check?
The university…with its $100M/yr TV money…who's gonna cut the $30M check?

We could get 40 Cade McNamara's for that price.
Barta did a nice job with two large Kinnick Stadium renovations as well as the new football practice facility.As I’ve followed Iowa sports for 56 years (age 63), I recall that Evy (a hall of fame coach) did considerable damage to UI athletics when he left as AD in 1970.
Since then, Gary Barta has done the most damage to UI athletics given his long term contracts with ridiculous buyouts he gave to Kirk and Fran.
His team is better than ours and has more hope. We have a senior heavy team.Lol at that Matt Rhule number tho
GTFO. Last B1G championship was 2004, that’s 20 years ago. And when he had the chance in 2009, played for OT at tOSU with the ball and 1 plus minutes to go at the 30 yard line with an upper class-men led team, lost in OT instead of go for the win on the road. 2015 was a shoot out and lost to MSU. Now he just plays to not lose games. Time to retire.Barta did a nice job with two large Kinnick Stadium renovations as well as the new football practice facility.
Ferentz has earned every penny he's currently being paid. Fran.... that's debatable.
My f***king luck the day they fire Kirk I'll get diagnosed with cancer the next day.
He won't he is going to suck every dollar possible out of Iowa.Hopefully, he will do the right thing and retire
Not an upper classmen QB in OT @ OSU.GTFO. Last B1G championship was 2004, that’s 20 years ago.

Kirk is the 5th highest paid coach in the B1G ($7,000,000). Fran is the 15th highest paid coach in the B1G ($3,300,000). Their end of the year standings in the B1G have been pretty similar even without basketball having the luxury of the B1G West. You’ve got a pretty skewed perception of reality my man.

It’s amazing what someone can accomplish when their job is on the line and they have something to prove. Iowa hasn’t had those factors associated with their head football coach in 15 years….Cignetti is going to have Indiana consistently in the mix. Guy is a great coach. I'm jealous. Even though he's 60 he's still hungry. This is his first taste of big money.
