Iowa outscored 92-0 vs the Three Ranked Teams they played this Season
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
We are going to have to play more ranked team, and many Big 10 programs have made big changes that will lead to better competition. KF will not change. We are now a national embarrassment on offense. Recruiting on that side of the ball is going to get really ugly. We are headed for 5 to 7 wins a year. Maybe even worse.
Negotiate early retirement of $10M and go away.
It would be better if this bowl game was his finale. But if you can guarantee next season is it that's at least a decent second option.
hmmmmm...not sure about that but if next year is it for KF, that could transition Paul Chryst (if he's named the new Iowa OC) as the next Iowa head coach....
Paul turned 58 on November 17th, so who the heck knows how this is all going to play out....
most Iowa fans probably had already exited the stadium
and remember, the Iowa fans in the stadium invested A LOT of their time and money (on airline tickets, game tickets, hotel, rental car, food & entertainment, etc); I doubt they are the type to throw things at people or on the field.
Iowa is built to eek out one-score victories against MAC and B10 West opponents.
This isn’t exactly accurate
Prior to this season i think Iowa hadn’t been shut out since 1999
They were shut out 3x this year.
Only over the 5-7 years has Iowa decided that less points is good. They would still manage to put up plus 20ppg with a few real clunkers mixed in.
Then the last three years they decided to shut down all offensive production
Iowa hasn't decided anything. The offense has fallen on some hard times the past couple years. There have been very real factors that have lead to this. And overall, it's something that will be grown out of.
Iowa is built around their defense. Thus, when they have to encounter some tough times as a program, it's going to show up in their offense.
Regardless if Iowa is getting shut out, they are built to win low scoring games. If it happens to not be their day, some ugly output from the offense can show up at times. The point remains that they have been consistently successful for 20+ years because of how they are built.
It doesn't matter how much you lose by. A win is a win. And a loss is a loss
That conveniently leaves out 20+ years of consistent success. Iowa has beaten a lot of good teams over that time.
I was never built to have a terrible offense. It's just been a rough couple years on that side of the ball
Barta was an idiot. Thank goodness Lickliter never managed to turn in a good season, otherwise we'd have been stuck with him for a decade, too.
I mean, I get the fatherly trait to protect your kids, but in no universe was Bri Bri a good OC.
Kirk is well past his prime, but if I had to guess, two more years.
