I’m shocked, literally shocked! Nothing more to say….
I confess…..

Me too. This does not speak well to KF’s character.
I wish I was shocked. I should be shocked. But I'm not
I’m shocked. Shocked to find out that gambling is going on here.
I'm somewhat shocked. I really thought he would do the right thing. Second to last in the nation... good gravy.
Not shocked. I've been saying all along there was no way KF would give his kid the boot. Looks like all the Ferentz family ball washers get to revel in more mediocrity.
A month ago you tell me he’s coming back I’m more shocked. But as the days and weeks dragged on it become more evident that Kirk was again going to put the Ferentz family before the Iowa program again for another season.
This is just a terrible look. It is like Kirk is the owner GM of an NFL team rather than a head coach of a public university.
If professors did as bad a job as Brian F did they would be removed.

No changes to the staff. Added a stud TE and good QB, but both are coming off very serious injuries. Added two OL and one WR via the portal. How on earth does anyone believe what is essentially the same unit will show any noticeable improvement, especially considering how poorly coached they’ve been the past two seasons?
if you can’t get fired for being last in the nation, then you’re pretty much untouchable
I guess it’s “Cade and Pray.” But if Cade changes the offense, which I’m hoping he does, it just shows how woefully inadequate we’ve been evaluating, recruiting, and grading the quarterback spot.
Good luck to the Athletics Dept trying to sell season tickets without a deep discount.
Nothing like paying good money to get frustrated.
no , not shocked at all!!
it says a lot about the consistency and how he stays strong and committed. just like when he stays with a QB forever

I'm not shocked in the least. Anybody who is just hasn't been paying attention. Kirk would never fire/demote Brian and Brian has nowhere else to go.
you guys are forgetting the goal here is to only hit 7 wins each year. that's it. kf hit that this year with a crappy offense. he wins that way. brian wins. game over. my guess is with macnamara they might hit 9 or ten next year , that's a win. a bigger win. brian stays.
absolutely not- the prefessors do a horrible job of telling the truth, instead they teach pure fantasy and mumbo jumbo. and they stay. BF hits 7 wins consistently, he stays.
Only way Brian is leaving is if Kirk retires. We’re in it for the long haul.
And all the haters get to revel in continued snark against them. Oh joy, joy, happy, happy.
Kirk Ferentz: “I anticipate no changes in our staff moving forward. I think we do have a terrific staff.”

Lol, it's not reveling when you're watching your alma mater's football program turned into a national laughingstock.
No accountability. None.
I love Kirk, but this has caused me to lose a lot of respect for him.

Me as well. I figured no way the body of work and the fielding of one of the worst offenses in modern football … would lead to no changes. Hawk forever and Kirk is a class act … however: this decision to keep Brian does change my view of Kirk. Inexcusable decision.
In 2022, Iowa Hawkeyes had the worse offense in Big Ten
Conference. They averaged 17.7 points per game and
251.6 yards per game. Most Offensive Coordinators would
be fired for those dismal facts. Can you spell Nepotism?

Yeah, I thought that is what would happen but…I’m feeling very lukewarm on renewing season tickets…only hesitation is I like my seats…and kind of want to keep them for whenever Ferentz Family Football Co. decides they’re done with us.
It’s pretty apparent that there is ZERO accountability. All of us fans should get shirts that say something to the effect of “Iowa Football- Ferentz Family owned & Operated”

Maybe we’ll end up with a little 2015 magic in the 2023 season! The general mood of the fan base felt very similar after the 2014 season. Can lightning strike twice!? 🤞🤞
I will not go to 1 game, and have cut off all donations to the program. I’m sure they can live without my $25K a year but I think if enough of us pull the plug , maybe we can force change.

With the schedule, the nation would rightfully claim we are the fake ID of college football….AGAIN.
Yep...right now, the only likely loss is @PSU.
Every other game looks winnable if things go right.
Looking for any positive spin on this. Do you think it was Kirk holding BF back all this time, he now realizes it, and has made a decision to step aside and let junior run the O? I cannot think of any other reason to not make a change.
I commend you for hanging on as long as you did. I’ve been done with Grandpa Kirk and Tommy Boy since 2018. Since then things have gone from bad to a total joke. I will still root for my Hawkeyes, but this program is going nowhere fast. Not surprising when the HC doesn’t give 2 sh*ts about winning more than 7 games a year.
There’s nothing “class” about this decision. There was nothing “class” about violating the nepotism ban in the first place. And there was nothing “class” about dreaming up this he will answer to Barta crap to cover his ass. I don’t want to hear about what a class act KF is anymore.
