How this ends

You're an idiot.
I believe this to be correct.
He needs 5 more wins. This would get him to 209. Whether we play in the BTCG or not (347 or 348 games total), 209 wins gets him >.600 and 208 wins does not (Although 208/347 = 0.5994; don't know if they round these things up or not). He won't admit it, but he's done the math.
A dream scenario for me would be for the Hawks to run the table in the regular season, for KF to then announce his retirement at the end of the postseason, then for the team to play lights-out for him in the BTCG and bring home an improbable conference title and sweet bowl game on his way out.
Iowa would then be one of the if no THE hottest job on the market.
Yikes, let’s not jump off the deep end!🤪
Besides, you know BF would have his fingerprints all over the play calling…like that TE middle screen that he loves to call 5 or 6 times a game…😉
Other than hoping for a big upset in the BTCG, what else about my post is factually incorrect or not at all likely to happen?
Your last sentence doesn't strike me as being very likely under any circumstances...well, except in a literal dream.
Yeah how could the Iowa D ever handle a quarterback like Penix?
Which blue blood programs are expecting HC openings this offseason? I can't think of ANY program right now that is expecting to be hiring that is unequivocally a better HC job than Iowa, and that's BEFORE they would put together a hypothetical 11-win season.
With all the outlandish comments on this board, I find it a bit odd that you called me out.
Its like Iowa’s offense. It makes absolutely no sense what I said, so maybe it makes perfect sense?!?
3 of those teams have Heisman candidates at QB. All 3 will be gone after this season. USC is a sub .500 team without Caleb Williams. Jury still out on UCLA. Should be some fun games with those schools as well as nice road trips. Looking forward to their arrival in the league.
They are looking forward to Brian Ferentz led offenses. You can bet on that too!
Almost the entirety of sporting experts are already dreading the BTT with Iowa against any of the Big Three from the East. And gawd forbid, if we were somehow to eke out that game and get involved with the National Championship bracket, it would be a feather in Kirk's hat, but also a likely bloodbath and more National humiliation.
I think if we do indeed make it to the BTT game, and that's not a surety, and get our asses handed to us, it might be a good note for Kirk to retire on, realizing he and his son just cannot contend with any team with a pulse and that the new B1G will have four more of those.

KF loves all of us twisting our shorts into a bunch over BF and the ugly wins. He will coach as long as he keeps winning and BF will be here next year due to all the injuries so embrace the offensive suck and wins.

Why don't you build a bunker, stock it and lock yoirself in. That way we won't have to read your nonsense.
Never comment on football but who do you think is going to come here and be better than KF? Who's going to bring elite skill position athletes to Iowa City Iowa year after year? Iowa under KF is know to produce great pro talent and runs schemes that translate well for pro players. Some of you all are delusional in my opinion.
Oh, goodie! We really needed another "How will we ever replace a 68-year-old coach who's been here for 25 years, and has no chance of ever being as successful as he once was" point of view. I'll never understand anyone being so scared to bring the program into the 21st century...
Yeah, right. Iowa cannot possibly find a coach who could do as well or better than Kirk. It's just not possible. All other coaches would fail. And there isn't a single good coach that would want to come to a team like Iowa....that has been one of the top winning programs in the country, goes to a bowl game most years, and rakes in a boatload of $$.
You really don't think much of the University of Iowa, do you?
I guess I would prefer to join the ranks of Nebraska, Michigan, and Notre Dame fanbases.
Probably won't ever have the loyalty of a Hayden or Kirk again. I think the one person who may be that loyal would be Levar if he ends up being next in line.
Not having that level of loyalty isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you get coaches who are trying to advance themselves they are usually going to advance your program and make it more attractive to those who come after them because they've seen that someone else can do it. Look at Cincinnati, for example. Not that Iowa should be a stepping-stone - it's already in one of the top leagues.
Kirk looked like he was going to win a national championship early in his career. At some point he seemed to resign himself to just being good. Did he stay out of loyalty, or did he just become comfortable?
