As much as it pains me to type this, I think we are the point this year where it might be best for Iowa to win 1-2 more games this year and not make a bowl game.
My thought is this at least turns up the heat to a scorching level to where even KF can't ignore it in the off season. He will have to make some changes to keep people happy and maybe will be more willing to release some of the control with the offense. There is almost a 0% chance he makes any changes with coaches or QB mid season so why not sink the ship. This also might light a fire under some of the coaches and younger players for next year. We have seen for years now that the offense is behind the defense and needs some adjusting.
If they squeak out 6 wins and make it to a bowl, I see KF staying status quo and will give zero thought to changing anything.
Chance of win % of remaining schedule imo:
BYE- 99%
@OSU- 5%
NW- 80%
@PU- 25%
WIs- 30%
@MIN- 25%
NEB- 70%
