IF KF wins less then 9 with this schedule...

[makeachange]

..It's time for Mark Stoops. The lack of recruiters, same ole staff, and now a very minimal quality roster, literally full of projects and soon to be JC transfers....

at least KF change the uniforms to the new NIKE Attack style....you look like 1985.. and not in a good way...recruits/players like to look good, it's a fact. ask Oregon.

 

[MoneyintheBanks]

Alabama still has their old jerseys. We should ask them actually, because they've been substantially more effective than Oregon has.

Mark Stoops has not proven anything coaching wise to justify saying he can come in here and win, or even be better than KF for that reason. He struggles against a mediocre SEC East division last year.

If you're so obsessed and enthralled with Mark Stoops (you bring him up over and over) why don't you just become a Kentucky fan?
I would take him as a defensive coach and a recruiter, but never as a head coach.
Same ole staff? They just replaced a bunch of them a few years ago. Are you supposed to change assistants like underwear?
You sound like a dumb redneck (you probably want our players dressed in camo? Maybe we should put feathers on the ball for ya, pigskin is so 50's, lol), so eastern Kentucky would be perfect place for you and you could get all the Mark Stoops your little heart desires.
P.S.- I hope you tell us it's time for Mark Stoops again, just in case we didn't get it the first 10 times.

So has Ohio State, yet:

Look, congrats of finding one of maybe 3 schools that have enough program history to not do things like this, but most (even most historically great programs like Notre Dame, Michigan, Auburn, Florida State, and Oklahoma for example) see alternate uniform styles as beneficial to the program by increasing the appeal/image of the program to recruits.

Schools that don't do this that I can think of off the top of my head are Texas, Bama, and USC. Iowa does not have the branding power/history to play the "we're not going to change our look" card like said schools. Instead, we should be looking for ways to appeal to the younger demographic who have shown countless times things like this matter for program image.

I don't think anyone is saying we should scrap the old unis, but rather adapt some alternates for big games (do we have those anymore?). And not some half-assed attempt at an alternate like we saw a couple years ago (the gray pants crap that wasn't even through Nike), something nice and with some thought behind it.

As far as Mark Stoops, guy needs to start winning some more before I want him as a coach.

When I think of alabama football I think of the running back a couple years ago that had gloves that he put together as an "A" after scoring. Even though these traditional schools have classic uniforms the kids still get to "swag" them up a bit. Also, I fully agree with the comment about the name schools not having to do the outside stuff because of brand. Apple doesnt need to have big sales because they are the brand to have acer on the other hand has to have good sales to stay competitive etc. If a new uni makes our average recruit go from a 2.8 star (this is a guess) to a 3.2 star than bring on the highlighter colors and twitter accounts because we will be more competitive on the feild.

Substantially? Really? For the past 7 or 8 years Oregon has been a top 5 program right there with Alabama. Do they have National Championships? No. But they are playing for them year in and out. I'm just curious. What do you think substantially means?

Are you trying to say that Iowa is on the same level as Alabama and doesn't need to change their uniforms? LOL. That's delusional.

I don't care about Mark Stoops. But going from 2-10 to 5-7 is a pretty big improvement. Fans went nuts when KF went from 1-10 to 3-9

It's funny how you mention that Mark Stoops hasn't proven anything coaching wise to justify him being the head coach at Iowa. He was a top D-coordinator, but I bet you knew that. Right?

Or maybe you meant head coach? What did KF prove as being a head coach before coming to Iowa? Nothing. Head sported a 12-21 record at Maine.

 

[HAWK-N-402 (4)]

Yes just like that. But we wont go pound for pound with alabama so by creating some outside excitement we can gain ground places they dont have to go.

 

[HAWK-N-402 (4)]

Thank you for providing a photo. Yes. Like that. (Please see post above yours)

I can't believe KF let those hippies over at Nike put a FedEx Orange Bowl patch on our jerseys. I thought he was all about tradition and not changing anything. I would assume KF would prefer not to have patches that say Orange Bowl or Rose Bowl on Iowa's classic unis. Clean it up coach. That is hideous.

This team will NOT see 9 wins. It's basically like last y ear's schedule but this year we get to go on the road ...

Road games at:
ISU - L
Wisky - L
Northwestern - Toss up
Indiana - Toss up
Nebraska - L

Home games:
Illinois State - W
Pittsburgh - L
N Texas State - W
Illinois - Toss up
Maryland - L
Minnesota - L
Purdue - W

And don't go telling me Maryland and Minney are wins at home. This is pretty much our schedule from last season ... And will absolutely will NOT be better than last season ... a team that was destroyed by a much better 6-6 Tennessee school.

Iowa will be lucky to notch 6 wins and if it had a tough schedule, this is a 4-win team. Face it folks ... We are the new Minnesota of the league ... Continue to try and offer lame excuses about the direction of the program and that Kirk will once again rebuild the program. Minnesota absolutely embarrassed us, as did Tennessee ... Iowa is in a downward spiral. Kirk knows it. Gary knows it ... and MOST fans know it and most fans know it is time for a change. You still have your stragler fans ... the ones who like to spew: "Careful what you wish for" or Go support another team if you don't like the Hawks" ... or "You aren't a real fan anyway" ... or "You need to support the boys on the field" ... The excuses are wearing thin and even the blind koolaid drinkers can't argue the direction the program is headed.

Kirk knows the end is near. That's why you didn't see any staff shakeups ... Kirk has one more season and that's it. Our roster is like the end of the Hayden regime ... Slow ... Out sized, and outmatched ... We have a two-deep that looks more like a UNI than it does a Big 10 team ...

Keep holding on koolaid drinkers ... And in general, I am guessing the kooilaid drinkers who STILL find a way to make excuses also do the same thing in real life ... No real expectations in life and comfortable with the same 'ol same 'ol ... For the majority of fans who don't want accept mediocrity and who are driven for change, well, they greatly outweigh the few who prefer to just stand quietly on the sideline - afraid to get into the game ... afraid to make a change ... They want to play it safe in life ... So don't go rocking my boat ... Iowa football is the Titanic ... and it is sinking quickly ...

9 wins is not a fair expectation for this team right now. It is pitiful that we are where we are, but, we are where we are, and 6 wins would be a fair expectation.

Again, not that that is really okay, but, it is realistic given our status.

I agree with you. My online sportsbook puts up season total win odds sometime in about June, IIRC.

Usually, they put up four total props, something like:

over 6.0 wins -200
under 6.0 wins +170

over 6.5 -140
under 6.5 +120

over 7.0 +130
under 7.0 -150

over 7.5 +200
under 7.5 -240

That would be about my guess for this year, obviously. We shall see.

Agreed. Although you already alluded to it NOT being okay - my prediction is that if Iowa goes 6-6, there will be a segment of the fan base that will chime in and say something to the effect of "You predicted 6 wins this season, and now that they got 6, you're all of the sudden calling for KF's head?" Because we, ya know, met expectations.

Low expectations doesn't make them acceptable.

LOL at 9 wins this year. If only I had a dollar for every time we looked at Iowa's easy schedule and thought they should win 9+ games, and ended up 7-5. Agree, Iowa SHOULD go 9-3 with that schedule.... But they won't. With a lot of the tougher games being on the road this year, I would argue this year's schedule is a little more difficult than last year's, and Iowa went 7-5. Why would they go 9-3 THIS year?

If they have to make him the highest paid coach in sports, so be it.

Got to spend to make and the football program will increase overall revenue because of it.

People will shell out the bucks for a winner trying to win. But they won't she'll it out for the status quo much longer.

3 National Championships to 0 National Championships is a substantial difference, dufus. Also, bold the part where I said Iowa was even close to the same stage as Bama...I'll wait. But go ahead and put words in my mouth to strengthen your argument and make yourself feel superior.

Also, we're talking about a guy who has gone 2-14 in his last 16 conference games ON THE WEAK SIDE of the SEC. So throw out Bielema's record too if you want, although it's not really comparable. If he has a winning season this year, then sure, I'd be interested in him, but right now I'd rather have KF. He also lost to a weaker Louisville team.

And you try to justify him as a head coach by pointing out 'he's a top D-Coordinator'? Well shoot, a couple years ago we should've gave Phil Parker the reigns as the Head Coach, since he was pretty good too.

 

[CoachoftheFuture1]

OP, if ya wanna look good, why would you ask Oregon? They don't know what their school colors are, but they do manage to put together a million styles of unis that all look like they were designed by a preschool finger painting club. If that's your thing, you can have it. The uni is the LAST thing on a LONG list of failures in Hawkeye football.

 

[gryzz14]

C'mon DMHawk, I am no Ferentz fan, you can see by my post history. But, Maryland is going to be the easiest win on Iowa's schedule next year. They were 73rd in passing and 111th in rushing last year, and they lost their star wideout and their qb. Plus Iowa plays them after their bye week, and last year they destroyed Indiana and NW after those bye weeks. Saying that is a Maryland win does not give me confidence in your picks.

Iowa should win all their home games and the ISU game and likely lose their other away games. However, Minn plays us tough and is on the upswing and Pitt returns a 1000 rusher and receiver. On the other hand, Nebby and Wis have new coaches and who knows what NW and Indiana will return.

I'm looking at a realistic 8-4 season with +/- 2 wins. Like I said in another post, Iowa needs to show some improvement to 9 wins this season with the easy schedule, as the year after is tougher and the year after that even tougher, so it seems better to cut bait with an 8 win season so we are not pounding sand the following years, to mix some metaphors.

In any case, we won't really know where this team will be until after the first 4 games. After attending the Iowa State game last year, I knew exactly what the rest of the season would be like, and I was not happy. After the first 4, we will see what CJ is, what our running game is, what our play calling is like, if the LBs have progressed, and what Iowa's execution is. Then you can make an educated guess about the season.

The schedule is easy for a team like Ohio State but not Iowa. I think they can get to 9 wins but for that to happen QB play and RB has to improve.

 

[Guidotheguide]

If they win 9 make (andoboy) will say they should have won 10. If they win 10 make will say should have won 11, etc, etc. If they win them all he will say anyone could have won them all with that schedule. Just a troll doing what a troll does.

What "should have won" means to most fans is "came close to winning, and it this or that little thing had been different, we would have won".

Well, it didn't, and you didn't. (Fans never remember the things that went right in a game that we nonetheless lost, and never consider that perhaps those things could have gone wrong if other things could have gone right...close to winning is losing.)

Are you trying to actually say that ISU will not have home field advantage in Ames? Honest question, when was the last time you went to an ISU-Iowa game in Ames? No matter how bad they are they still come to THIS game since Danny Mc was there.

During the 7 win season the Hawks have in front of them people will complain.

There will then be people who call those people idiots.

The people complaining will call the people who called them idiots, idiots.

During the argument, KF will complement opponents by calling them good football players. He will also donate money to the hospital for fodder on message boards and the local media. He will secure the 45th best recruiting class and declare widespread changes amongst the leadership of his program. He will carry this plan out by releasing a new depth chart and promoting his son.

It's all so exciting... I can hardly contain myself.

I just laughed, but the more you post, the more I believe they are correct. You are on something, for you can't possibly be this obtuse. Here is a number that might help:

KF is 3-5 in Ames and 1-3 in the last four. What makes you think that Iowa will beat ISU this year?

and iowa SHOULD WIN all their home games this year? really ?!?! again, Iowa went 4-3 at home last year against a cake schedule, yet SHOULD WIN all their home games? WHAT! THE! ASDFSDFASDFLKJ ?????????

drugs are bad people, drugs are bad.

I hated the loss to ISU which should have never happened in any universe/stadium), but I'm sorry, playing Wisconsin and Nebraska at home (and I hated that one almost as much) hardly constitutes a cake home schedule.

I won't argue with anyone who would want to suggest we should have been 6-1, but cake schedule?

Are you the Man of a 1000 Handles better known as Da Coach?

at least KF change the uniforms to the new NIKE Attack style....you look like 1985.. and not in a good way...recruits/players like to look good, it's a fact. ask Oregon.

Wrong again, at least wait for Mark Stoops to achieve a winning record. Glad to have Kirk as our coach. Go Hawks!

does anyone seriously EXPECT Kirk Ferentz to beat ISU in Ames this fall?

follow up question, WHY?


Some relevant information to consider:
Kirk Ferentz:1 win, 3 losses last 4 games against ISU teams that went: 6-7, 6-7, 3-9, & 2-10. yet only won 1 game. hmm...
