KF gets choked up

Talking about his seniors. Love him or not players also love to play for him. One thing that can never be said about kf is that he's not a truly genuine caring coach.
Agree, players love him and love to play for him, which flies in the face of all these idiots who come here stating that Kirk Ferentz is only coaching for the money.
 
One message came through clearly in Kirk's post game comments. He appreciates IOWA and feels pretty lucky to have ended up here.

I'm guessing as a parent (and now Grandparent) he's developed even more empathy for the work and sacrifice these kids put in...and it shows. It's a pretty demanding profession so no doubt there's an element of emotional release when you see things come to fruition and players reach their potential.

I'll continue to bitch about his offensive constipation, but you have to respect Kirk Ferentz, the man. In a biz full of phonies, cheaters and a-holes Kirk looks pretty solid.
 
Have a feeling he's especially going to miss Josey. The kid seems to be cut from the same mold as KF and they both know it.
 
Lol, yes he did.

I swear he's getting worse and worse about this. Or maybe it's better and better? Emotionally repressed people are no picnic.

Good on you Captain.
At his age, low testosterone can be a problem. But I think he actually cares about his players. I don't think I've ever met a coach that doesn't care about his players well being. They wouldn't be coaching in the first place.

The guy is a class act no doubt.
I just wish he would completely turn the offense over to someone competent.
It's not his deal, the offense is consistently ranked in the bottom of the country.
Im good with the d, special teams, player development, character, everything but the offense.
 
KF should probably get more choked up about making $4million per year while young men like Tyler Sash suffer brain damage and die before they are 30.

Course the $4 mil would be ok if KF won a national championship, right. It would make the CTE issue go away in your mind, right. Your post equating the two is very disturbing.

Clown just trolling.

If you were a bitter clown living amongst us, your handle is ______logic.

OMGosh......"logic", FAIL. Logic requires a modicum amount of cerebral horsepower, and there is none demonstrated in this post.

I once said, nothing surprises me anymore; well, I stand corrected as this post surprises me that anyone could believe there is a correlation of KF's salary and Sash's tragic death. Shameful.
 
I imagine kf shed tears over Tyler sash, no question in my mind.

Drug addiction is a nasty disease. Obviously his taking pills started with the doctors. There are many to blame for the position he ended up in. IMHO Kirk wasn't one of them.

One of the few things Mack Brown said that hit the bullseye. He said , KF was one of the rare breed of coaches who have become part of the place. The University, the players, the state, the people have all become a central part of him and his family.
