Why can't we have both a 7-5 record and Kirk gets his head out of his ass and make the changes needed to bring the offense into this century?The last paragraph of that article sums it up pretty well. This feels like more than a bump in the road. From a distance a 3-4 record is nothing to get too worked up about. Iowa has forever played with a narrow margin of error and 1 losing season in 20 years or whatever that stat is, is pretty dang good.
The Defense/Special Teams the last four years has been good enough to be a Big 10 West winner, top 10 team overall. The nepotism, stubbornness, and doubling down on mistakes offensively has caused the team to underachieve over that time.
To me the team, the fans, the Kinnick experience is NOT unlikeable, but the Ferentz regime is becoming that despite all the good work he has put in. Finish 4-8, but make changes in offensive philosophy, coaches, go get players in the portal and I am good with 4-8. Finish 7-5 or something bowl worthy with the defense and punting games saving your a$$ and keep the same old brand of offense going forward and I will be the least interested in Iowa football as I've ever been. Not hating them, just indifferent like the Lick era of basketball.
If you had to watch batting practice between Tony Gywnn or Ken Griffey Jr what would you choose?
Both hall of famers.
I like wins and Kirk’s record, but watching, especially live, has been difficult for years.
Especially when you turn the tube to another game this day and age.
I’m in the same boat….hoping for some miracle and 7-5, but also realizing that would most likely have Kirk say….”that’s football” and run it back with Brian and the crew. I’ll be about done if that happens…The last paragraph of that article sums it up pretty well. This feels like more than a bump in the road.

KF is the nation's most unlikeable coach, that much I am sure of.
Because if we have a 7-5 record, all is well and no changes are needed. If we have a 5-7 record no changes are needed, we just need to clean a few things up.Why can't we have both a 7-5 record and Kirk gets his head out of his ass and make the changes needed to bring the offense into this century?
Anyone thinking we are going 7-5 if Petras plays, has not been watching or doesn’t know football..must have a more mobile QB in todays game.Because if we have a 7-5 record, all is well and no changes are needed. If we have a 5-7 record no changes are needed, we just need to clean a few things up.
Pretty rich thinking that others have not been watching when Iowa is going up against a 1-6 northwestern team today that has been absolute trash this year.Anyone thinking we are going 7-5 if Petras plays, has not been watching or doesn’t know football..must have a more mobile QB in todays game.
I'd say 10 points would be on the high end as well.....sadly.I don’t know…our opponents sure like playing us right now. Probably because if they can score 10 points, they’ll win.
What does how bad NW is have to do with the Hawks going 7-5? Beat NW and where are the other 3 wins coming from? Guess we will see..Pretty rich thinking that others have not been watching when Iowa is going up against a 1-6 northwestern team today that has been absolute trash this year.
You said we "must" have a more mobil QB today, that's what is has to do with it.What does how bad NW is have to do with the Hawks going 7-5? Beat NW and where are the other 3 wins coming from? Guess we will see..
I meant in the college game nowadays, not specifically today’s game, my bad.You said we "must" have a more mobil QB today, that's what is has to do with it.
Wrong.KF is the nation's most unlikeable coach, that much I am sure of.
Because Kirk doesn't operate that way....Why can't we have both a 7-5 record and Kirk gets his head out of his ass and make the changes needed to bring the offense into this century?
