What qb has improved under Kirk the last 15 yearsAnd yet, McCann (as a freshman) was 9-20 with 3 INTs and 115 yards and Reiners 2-7 with 1 INT for 20 yards in the 49-7 loss at Minnesota. In McCann's first season, in 8 games, he had 2 TDs and 5 INTs. Looks familiar. Those players improved under Ferentz. Jury is still out on the current team.
Here are Kyle McCann's over all numbers at Iowa. Bad to start. Improvement - yes.
Never change, my friend....Can’t get dumber than this post. 1 game away from the BIG Champ game last yr, shud be 7-1 this yr with a completely depleted OFF personnel.
The last 8 yrs has done the following:
8-5
10-4
6-2
10-3
8-5
9-4
8-5
12-2
It’s stupid ass shit posting fan attitudes like this that keeps some instate recruits away, other out of state recruits from deciding Iowa, bc all their is, is the small majority loud ass Whitney flakes spewing dumb shit like this to set the fan base tone outside of Iowa…. Well done.

Again, we recruit lineman, lbs, and TEs. That’s our gig, and gives us a chance. We’ll never be a destination for specialty players and OFF weapons, no history of such before KF or during. Weather, population, other cold powerhouse programs near by etc. huge obstacles. KF knows where he can make a dent and get tons of NFL respect, thus continued interest in those area from recruits.
we've seen the last few years he'd rather lose HIS WAY than win with someone else calling the playsIf he gets a new OC it would add a few years, and some decent recruits would want to be a part of it.
Because Iowa recruits a lot of quality young men. They're not quitters.
Lachey and Kaleb are the only two players...why I said a TE or RBA healthy KJ, Lachey, All, … u can’t be serious. Kj rides a bike for 10 mins before entering the game. His carries r preempted and have to be planned by bike time, thus he has a significant soft tissue injury that is obviously hampering his play. He was looked at as an all BIG type of back coming off of last yr. Again, some of you have no clue.
I don't know if Brian is over his head or just hog tiedLol. Why do you guys keep typing this? So all of a sudden Kirk at 68 years old is going to fire his son (sure he is) the offensive line coach, and whatever position Budamyr is. This is all on him. 100%. He’s not doing any of that. He’s already said he doesn’t like to do it. Kirk is in charge. If he could have changed the offense he would have already done it. Is Brian over his head? Clearly. Whose fault is that? Not only did he give his son the keys to the offense he also then doubled down and made him QB coach.
I wishWell, the first question is: Is Kirk leaving us?
Again, I do not dispute the fact the Iowa offense is abysmal, likely broken and in need of a complete overhaul or it will continue to cost Iowa games and Kirk Ferentz affection from the Iowa fan base.
But AGAIN, none of that invalidates the accomplishments he has achieved as a future College Football Hall of Fame coach at Iowa.
Clearly not. However, many people on here ( and not saying you are one as I don't know) think because of what he's done he should be allowed to go out on whatever terms he wants. In my opinion that's just ridiculous. Does he honestly "deserve" until 2029 to keep doing it his way? This is absolutely not sustainable the way we are playing. Someone has to be the adult in the room, whether it's the new Ad (interim) President, or whoever. Kirk and Brian can't be allowed to just come back next year and say and do the same things, because as we know nothing will change. How do you feel about him living out his contract to 2029?Again, I do not dispute the fact the Iowa offense is abysmal, likely broken and in need of a complete overhaul or it will continue to cost Iowa games and Kirk Ferentz affection from the Iowa fan base.

What I wouldn’t do to see any Iowa football team gain so many offensive yards against Minnesota.The team had some talent. No denying it.
However, the way the 1998 season ended was demoralizing. They lost their last 4 games by a combined 161-35. There was no excitement, no juice, no nothing in the program.
Minnesota (a non-bowl team) beat Iowa 49-7 in the Metrodome. Iowa had 68 plays for 221 yards. Minnesota had 73 plays for 501 yards. And, that is with Minnesota's QB Billy Cockerham going 9-23-1-139 yards. It was bad. Almost Bob Commings bad.
