What bothers me about this article is that he is crying like a whiny bitch about Campbell and Frost - just like a few on this board do continuously. Sure, Ferentz has beat them both, but McCarney beat Ferentz his first three years. BUT - Ferentz was improving the program in several areas, so based on these rankings Ferentz likely would have outranked McCarney even though McCarney beat him head to head.
In 12 years as the head coach at NW, Fitzgerald hasn't won a Big Ten Title. In his first 12 years at Iowa, Ferentz won two. NW isn't harder to win at than Iowa, either.
It's a legit point. Do you know who Randy Walker and Gary Barnett were? The two previous coaches to Fat Pitzgerald, who both won B10 titles in their first 3 years at Northwestern.Your post is so ignorant, one asks where to begin.
I decided you are a special needs type. That's okay too, keep posting. We are all family here.
Some head scratchers on there above Ferentz for sure.
Campbell? 19-19. But I guess back to back 8-5 seasons make you a top 10 coach...
Wait, Ferentz had back to back 8-5 seasons...followed by 9-4. Just enough to squeeze into the top 25
Frost? Sweet 4-8 season
Even Chip Kelly... Capped off a nice 3-9 season.
Could care less about these click bait ranking. Pretty funny really

He isn't....good callPut that on clown review or the pig pen or whatever isu is calling their site and they would be complaining that Coach Campbell isn’t rated high enough.
I still can’t figure out what the criteria was for the rankings. Is it success, is it overachieving a perception, potential or simply a popularity contest?
Hard to fully agree or disagree without knowing the criteria.
Ding ding ding.....we have a winner!We rarely finish top 25, what are people expecting? Let's be honest, if there was a big ten championship game the last 30 years Kirk, Barnett, Walker might have zero big ten championships. We need to win the west a couple more times at least to get some more respect nationally. It's been extremely winnable
Totally agree....he should be top 5Campbell at 9 is hilarious.
Worst to first is the proper slogan. It would certainly happen faster in a conference like the B10 West, but we will just have to settle for a conference that actually sends teams to the CFP.Campbell is way up there because because ISU is historically one of the worst P5 teams ever. Back to back 8 win seasons is inflating his ranking considerably. Another 8+ win season will push him into the top 5 in many people’s minds.
On the flip side, with Iowa, winning 8+ games 5 out of the last 6 years, including a 12 win season, is given a more ho hum response because there’s been about 40 years of stability.

I’m sorry, when has ISU football ever been first at anything? Has ISU football ever, in the history of the program, ever won an outright conference title?

Nope, never have the clowns won an outright football title.
As CyTwins says, Yikes.
Is ISU the only P5 program to never win an outright conference title in football? I think, without researching, that’s likely true.

Games in Sept just don't mean much. If the hawks could manage to win conference games then they might play meaningful bowl games. 4th place B10 West teams just don't get very good bowl games. They play teams that finish similarly, hence a Bowl game that doesn't get watched.LOL, lightningred you're such a funny little retard. What could be funnier than ISU dude bashing a division that his team is 0-4 against the past 4 seasons, and ripping on a conference that has won a CFP championship and has 9 NY6 wins, while his conference has zero CFP wins and 3 NY6 wins (0-1 vs. B1G)?
Again, thank you. Please post again.
Iowa state literally won one more game I’m conference.. Iowa has played in plenty of big time bowl games under Ferentz, and don’t come in here trying to act like the Alamo is a big time bowl..Games in Sept just don't mean much.
