Are we still trying to can Ferentz?

We are 3-3 in the Big Ten
We are 6-3 Overall


As I have said all along... you judge a coach by what their teams consistently do .

So if Ferentz goes 9-3 or 8-4 yes great we move forward and say it was a good year expectations were met

If we go 7-5 or worse than expectations we're not met and Ferentz is on the hot seat.
 
That's very true.. The U of I is a coaches dream because they accept mediocrity and reward past performance to a higher degree than most programs.
My comment was not meant to be smart-assery but I'm just at a loss at how many threads calling out haters, Ferentz haters, Ferentz fans, apologists etc there are after a game that should have actually brought a bit of peace to the boards. This is one of the funnest, greatest most watchable games I've seen in 20-30 years so I'm going to just enjoy it. Most(not all) of the trolls or at least the trolls of other teams are gone this week and it has been nice.
 
Ferentz will be allowed to retire the way Hayden Fry did. Hayden realized he would have to start over with the loss of many top assistant coaches. He also no longer had the energy to recruit the way he did when he 1st arrived at Iowa. He was also given the privilege to help name his successor. Fry saw the program getting stale so he decided it was time to retire.

I think Ferentz will be at Iowa until he feels that he doesn't want to put up with the BS anymore and Brian is ready to take over.

I thought Haden's departure was mainly a result of his health?

We all know what you think of Ferentz and that Iowa should be able to become a Ohio State or Alabama. You're blinded by the light bud. Nebraska, Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, and even Michigan have thought they could fire and hire there coaches at will to get to the promise land in a matter of 2-3 yrs. Even Michigan fans are having 2nd thoughts because Harbaugh can't beat MSU or OSU. Iowa's program in modern history never was or ever will be OSU. The area Iowa draws recruits from is a recruiting desert compared to teams in the southwest, southeast, east, and the west. They compete against ND, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois for the same good recruits in the Midwest. Many of those good recruits in other states will stay home rather than go to Iowa. Iowa's out of state recruits are many times leftovers that the home school has little interest in. To call Iowa mediocre is an insult. Mediocre teams don't beat ranked teams like OSU, Michigan, Penn State and even your highly rated Wisconsin. A Mediocre team is an Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, and Indiana.
 
Does anyone know?

Yes, we are trying to position ourselves to snatch a coach by the name of flick, or maybe it's flack. Not sure, anyway, this excellent coach is apparently adept at rowing boats which is just what Iowa needs. Sounds like a great coach because his plan is to skip from sucking right to winning national championships. Just the coach we need. His current recruiting class has an average star rating of 2.87. Wow. 2.87. How does he do it? So impressive! They should be at least in the playoffs by 2019. We need this coach bad. Plus with flock as our coach we will beat the goofers a minimum of 20 strait times.
