BF contract amended

Champ game 2 yrs ago, and 1 game away last yr with 8-12 starters injured...can't get more dmb then u!
I'd really thump ur chest about that champ game 2 years ago, what a showing! 1 game away last year cuz the B1G west sucks! Plus couldn't beat a sub .500 Nebraska team at home!! I'm sure a rematch with Michigan would of turned real well for the Hawks!!
 
I'm convinced that Brian being retained is good for Hawkeye Nation. All the whiners and complainers can come to this site and have a bitch-a-thon against Barta, KF and BF.

Think how much better you feel after posting. You can come over here every few hours and continue piling on. Doesn't make a difference other than letting you vent.

The good thing is you don't bitch at your wife, yell at your kids, argue with the neighbors or kick your dog. Or maybe you do because nothing makes you happy.

Have a nice day. Don't worry, be Happy!

Do you feel better now?
 
Good for you, since at least 10 people asked the same question about the D points counting toward the total. Do people even read through the thread? Kind of makes you wonder about even posting stuff.....
It is easier to reply right away than to remember to note the post number and go back when you want to reply to a specific post…..

I'm suprised at the butthurt outrage posters are having over something they have no control over.
 
I actually was twice and got very nice bonus checks for my efforts. You accomplish that by never looking back my friend. Look forward, set new goals and work your ass off.

Winners work hard, Losers Whine.
Serious question: Do you believe Kirk and Gary are “never looking back” and “look forward, set new goals”?

I have no doubt they all work hard, but surely you have heard plenty of times the definition of insanity.

That’s where we’re at right now with Iowa football. If the Iowa offense is stagnant again this year, then enough is enough. I can’t believe 2022 wasn’t that point, but whatever.

This is so comical and embarrassing. How he can use the defense points is just stupid AF! Time to fire Gary, Kirk and Brian and just start over!!!

If it’s business as usual for the offense in 2023, then absolutely. I’m taking a wait and see approach.
 
25 pts AND 7 wins.

Not gonna happen.
I’ll be honest the schedule next year doesn’t have Michigan or Ohio State but there is no Nevada either. Utah State should be improved and Western Michigan had a top 40 defense.
If we had scored 25 pts last season we win the West and go 12-2. or 11 3. Sign me up for that.
I don't really care about BF...just give me the pts.
Frankly, I am surprised they did this at all.
This just brought more attention to last season's poor offense and put real pressure on the Ferentz clan to meet specific numeric goals.
I have doubts that they can get to 25 pts a game.
If they fall short BF will be out...no way they do not honor this contract. It takes KF out of the picture and he may just hang them up also.
I believe this is a significant step toward accountability in the program.
Now, any hawk fan are free to root against the Hawks out of hatred of the ferentzs....me? I want them to win every game 42-3 and win the West again. Go Hawks!
 
Might make Friday, Nov 24, 2023 vs. Nebraska a very interesting game.

Say Iowa has 6 wins and needs to score 39 points to get our OC to the goal of 25 points per game average.

Score with 4 minutes to go is 35-10 Iowa. Does our coaching staff go to no-huddle, hurry up offense to score another TD to meet the contract goals? Or instead of FG on 4th down, go for the TD to get to the 25 point average?

Could make for some weird scenarios and story lines.
If the average is 24.2 they'll still just round the number up. At this point
 
Its
Guys look at the bigger picture. Their is going to be huge negative recruiting over this BF/GB deal. Iowa already has a problem getting quality offensive playmakers to Iowa, how is this going to help.
It's early but the 24 class is rated top 10 right now.

Truly, congratulations, it’s always an accomplishment to set goals, reach them and be financially rewarded for them.

I oversee 50+ people that have to set goals every year. We meet, they present where they want to improve and how they can achieve them. My issue is not with BF, it’s with the AD. Those are horrible goals. Do other coaches get significant increases for reaching goals? The concept and delivery is flawed. He doesn’t want to address the real issue.

Well aren't you special Bob
 
I'm thinking we lose a close game to say Wisconsin next year where the offense pushes for an extra score when playing it safe would have likely secured the win.

Ok, Gunner. Ok.
 
The whole thing is odd. For working in education, Gary Barta just proved how ignorant he is. This is beyond laughable. It could be harmful to the players and the program. He has no balls.
The sad thing is Barta is so out of touch he probably thought this would come across well to the Iowa fans as if he was actually holding some accountability to BF. Barta is so ignorant is that he also thought it would play off well with the media. Amazing 5 days after the awful press conf. with KF and Barta they some how manage to make things worse less than a week later. Barta is a PR nightmare.

So your pumping up are non conference schedule. Ive looked every where to find Kirks winning % in the Big 10. All I can find is total win %. Hmmm !!

I love it when our own fans shit on the big ten west like they are Clone fans. No one at Iowa created the Big Ten west or determine who was in the Big Ten west or what the crossover games would be. I guess to most the only two worthwhile teams in all of the Big Ten are Michigan and Ohio State and that's it.

OMG that would be glorious on the message boards then. Kirk and Brian are too aggressive on offense and should have just ran the ball and ran the clock!!!
