Consistently good, just never great. Worse epitaphs have been written.....
One is not like the others.
OP's tweet should have said .750+ win percentage!Shhhh
Hey, Hawktagonapus, thanks for your intelligent, insightful response. OTOH, it's still true that one is not like the others. Would you care to elaborate and explain why you seem to disagree. Posters are waiting for your analysis. 
@millah_22 I didn't say I'd kill you because you were wrong.. I said I'd kill you because I'm a psychotic lunatic with a lust for blood, I'm off my meds, and have escaped from the looney bin

We count the fact Michigan bailed on us and so did our bowl opponent. W W.
Conference championships? National championships? Relevant beyond the borders of Iowa? Butt of jokes on national broadcasts? Weakest schedule of the lot? Numbers can lie...
Awe you get your feelin's hurt when some talkin head makes fun of us??????????????????
We ain't getting the 4 and 5 stars those other teams are loaded with either.
So what you're saying is we're due for a national championship?
Yes

To be clear I'm living at @SolarHawk's house so you'll have to go through him if you want to get to me.@millah_22 I didn't say I'd kill you because you were wrong.. I said I'd kill you because I'm a psychotic lunatic with a lust for blood, I'm off my meds, and have escaped from the looney bin
watching highlights/replays from that year is so weird.
I think they just skipped it. 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 are the 9 years.
He’s flirted with greatness. Could even argue the run from 2002-2004 was great. And some great years in between like 09 and 15. Even winning one of the BIG champ games could have been considered great. But hasn’t really flirted with elite and agree, the good overall but not great overall is a good description.
Alabama
Iowa State*
Georgia
Clemson
Ohio State

*f***ed out of every single game they lost by crooked officials or they would certainly be on this list

And your wife/girlfriend is no Alexandra Daddario so you should dump her, right?
The elite company on that very short list makes us relevant beyond our borders. Did you examine the schedule of the other four teams over the last nine years?
SMH
Yup. One isn't loaded with 4 and 5 star talent and deep pockets. One has to develop 2 and 3 star players. One has legendary coach known for player development.
And one is about to have the most wins in big10 history.
There is that.
God, I wish you would stop with all your negative Hawkeye posts. It is obvious you dislike Kirk but give it a rest. That is pretty elite company the Hawks are in.
Kirk has done more with so much less. Recruiting base and geography is a big negative. Our NIL is 8-10 times less. Yet Hawks win their share.
Hats off to Kirk, his staff and all those young men wearing black and gold.
That is not usually counted as teams played a different number of games, a lot of cancelled games.
But the hawks 6-2 record in 2020 is percentage wise better than this year. 2020 record nothing to sneeze at.
Ferentz could be my money manager, any day, any place, any time. And he'd be a damn good one.
That'd be some fun games.
I'd say that A&M once again did not get their money's worth.
KF is a very good head coach. You can tell there is very good organization and attention to detail in the program. The attention to detail etc leads to winning close games, low amounts of penalties and turnovers, especially the stupid stuff.
He has longevity on his side for total wins but losses also, but I wouldn't say he is a great coach because some of his in-game decision making, some of his very conservative nature which allows lesser teams to hang around and sometimes beat a better hawk team, and just some lackluster offensive teams and philosophy.
The really great coaches like Hayes, Parseghian, McKay, Saban, Bud Wilkinson have total teams that just hammer opponents and their win-loss percentages are much better than Kirk's.
So this is a great run for a team like Iowa.
You'd be asking him why all of your money is sitting in an FDIC insured passbook savings account earning 1% interest.
Everyone got a mulligan for the covid season. Many teams didn't even play 9 or 10 games.....
All true. BUT what we've narrowed down here is the guys who coached at OSU, USC, Bama, and Oklahoma. See a trend here? I've said this before. Day's winning % at OSU is probably better then all those guys. IS he a great coach?
