It’s Lester. And it’s time for Beth to prepare for KFs exit
- Thread starter IowaMuse
- Start date
So let’s get this straight, Big Ball Beth, (or triple B as I like to call her) who came to slay that awful devil KF, you know that has had the best 10 year run in Iowa history….
Just stood by and let KF do his thing. You all celebrated that wouldn’t happen anymore….
Please explain…

He was the play caller at Western Michigan when he was HC.
The last year was bad, but the other pretty good.
Guess which one angry message board posters will focus on?
I like the fact he actually played QB in college at a pretty high level and more recently than the 1950's.
I couldn’t have scripted a better day. I’ll confess much to the chagrin of my buddy @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset
I sometimes do take super negative bitchy tripe personally & I don’t care for many of you guys. I honestly find you a drain on society and your brand of bitching useless and even damaging…
****, we all hate losing, we all hate the fact that KF is stubborn and has allowed our offense to be so shitty but most of us and yes, you’re a small minority, understand the totality of the big picture…
You guys do not, and you cannot keep from constantly bitching about it. I don’t have any friends like you and I have lots of friends And whether I want to or not, I have to go to lots and lots of outings and family functions etc. every now and then we have a group of people that show that are super negative bastards like you but very rarely…we don’t associate with people like that ….
So thank you for telling me off….it makes my day. I’d be upset if you called me a friend. I don’t have friends like you.
LMAO! Is that Beth - second row, far left!?!??!Iowa fans respond to the hire.
In 6 years as a Head Coach, WMU scored the following: 14, 17 and 13 vs Mich St; 3 and 14 vs Mich; 18 vs BYU; 33 vs Syracuse; and 13 and 44 vs Pitt. The rest of their games were MAC level.
NO POSITIVISM DAMN IT…..THIS IS A BIG DEAL AND I AM MAD AS HELL….
THIS IS FOOTBALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND “BIG” STUFF

They are young enough to get them to be a fan of a different team that has a chance to win titles.
ALL fan bases are similar….some worse than others but you succinctly made the point.
Wow! We hired him away from Troy? He might want to think twice about that decision.
So Green Bay fired him.
KJ's numbers were nicely posted by some on here so we could drool over, hopefully someone can post Lester's offensive numbers? SIAP. Not able to research at the moment.
I am just wondering how Lester and Johns applied for the same job and Lester gets it?? I mean short of coming out and saying Johns wanted to much money, what else on Gods green earth could have swayed the decision the way it went? Did Johns make a pass at one of the coaches wives or what? Because whatever it is, it had to have been horrible for the decision to end as it did.
Ya and they were in the MAC.. so they had MAC level talent..
You don’t want to see people complain on a message board, do something else like jerk off to a KF poster.
I blow off steam here so I don’t I can share my frustration with other fans. And then in “real life” I can focus on important things like being a loving husband and father.
You show up and judge everyone for being frustrated and you think it makes you a good person. Really it just shows you are a dick.
I credit BG for giving KF the opportunity to either fix this or make his own bed. She let it be his call, and he clearly chose to make his bed instead. I just hope he doesn’t drag the whole program down with him, and I have to trust she will do the right thing before that happens.
Kirk is showing us he knows how to lead the way into this new world of college football with USC, Oregon and Washington coming to town soon. Hired the effing guy who couldn't do anything at a MAC school.
This is the first time in my entire life I'm not going to be excited or have a glimmer of hope for a season opener. Last year at least we had the excitement of the transfers coming in.

What do you know about Lester that makes this such a bad hire?

He ran out of candidates because he is not going to let candidates run the offense. It is that effing simple.

Look at his resume. Underwhelming.
5 straight years with a top 40 scoring offense, peaking as high as 9th. Think we could do worse
Yes. Much more underwhelming than the other guy he had in his lap. I hope to God Johns doesn't excel in whatever he does next.
The reason everyone is angry is because KF has absolutely 0 credibility when it comes to making this hire. He has nose dived this offense into the grown and his son would probably still be coach if Beth wouldn't have fired him. He has been wrong way more times than he has been right when it comes to offense, QBS, WR use etc.
So when people say well lets give this guy a chance. No thank you. There is absolutely nothing to string any sort of hope on for KF. ESPECIALLY a hire that took forever, the top candidate (Chryst) saying no thanks, and hiring a guy that literally has never accomplished anything significant in Big Boy college football. I 100% expect this to be a total disaster.
The only real hope I see is that I do believe the new AD Beth Goetz has the balls to tell KF it is time to move on.

Worse record at WM than Fleck. Fired in final year. Someone at GB did him a favor knowing it was a one year gig. He was already going to be OC at Troy. He had to vacate wins at a previous program for issues.

I'm guessing Johns turned it down and Lester was the only guy left who came in under budget. It's a poverty hire plain and simple. That and Kirk being unwilling to cede any control on offense. This is flat out embarrassing for a P4 school coming off a conference championship appearance. We're still a national joke, fellas.

Unfortunately, yes, you are correct. I'm definitely not excited for the hire at all but just hoping I'm wrong (I don't think I will be though). This will probably be the last hire for a coordinator position that KF has to make so if it goes badly, which is very, very possible, it'll be an easier transition for people to move on from KF. That time is already coming up. I'm hoping KF retires at least within the next three years or so. I'd like it to be this year honestly but I can wait it out. What I don't want to see is KF still here in a decade. Man, that'd be a nightmare.
Yeah, but I mean other than THAT, what makes you think this will be a bad hire?
Not according to Hawk Central.
https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/s...fensive-coordinator-kirk-ferentz/72388754007/
“Lester's only Power Five play-calling experience was at Syracuse, where he took over as offensive coordinator midway through the 2014 season and was OC in 2015. Syracuse went 5-14 with Lester as the play-caller.”
I doubt anyone on this board knows how these decisions are made in the football program. I’d like to think the HC makes his hires without having to have them approved by his boss. That is the way it always worked for me and others in a number of Fortune 500 companies I worked for. I would hope this was his decision alone, and he’ll have to live with it.
and Johns had multiple years at (4) P2 schools and put up better numbers, so there's that for comparison.
He isn’t coming to be the head coach and had 5 straight top 40 offenses when he was calling plays.
