Now he is turning our football team into the laughing stock of college football because of Brian and Spencer. Kirk will be the coach for years to come but he needs to be held accountable for everything that has happened with Brian (hired as OC and QB coach)
So you must be planning on KF living forever? Are we destined to have losing football for ever when KF is gone? There must have been some saying the same thing during Hayden’s last couple of years.
Their was never a KF 2.0 just smoke and mirrors
Using the rear view mirror, what was Iowa’s best win last year?
And yet didn't win anymore games, (which seems relevant). I've said this many times, but you can do your own research if you want. Fry (god love him for everything he did), psychology major. One of his greatest mental tricks he accompllished was getting the fan base to think we were some kind of offensive juggernaut. He did this by pounding the bad teams (especially the dregs of the BIG at the time) we played and running up the score on the NW, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and OSU teams. Then go back and see the scores and the record against the top teams. Its no better, and probably worse then KF's record. I think KF's record against ranked teams is certainly better then Fry's . Take a look.....
The usual ‘we are just Iowa’ post, and ‘be careful what you wish for’. No coach stays at a program this long anymore unless they are winning championships. Kirk isn’t doing that even in the pathetic west division. Except for last year when every bounce went our way, and the defense bailed us out every game. The program is stale, and has been. The only coach that should still be here is Woods, and Parker. Other than that they should all be gone and start from scratch. We could be a hell of a lot better with someone other than a Ferentz here, you know maybe a coach that had a clue about offense.
You delusional if you think Parker or Woods remain if there is any removing of the head coach. You will be getting a new AD, HC and on and on… starting from scratch.
I agree but certainly we can all see the strategy last year. Don’t turn it over, bombs away punter, play great D, we make field goals.
That PSU win was 3 vs 4 and a great win no matter how either team finished the season. You can’t pick which division you’re put it.
I had so much hope when Bruce Harreld was hired as the new President. He was a businessman who didn't take sh*t from no one. He came on board shortly after the Meyer/Griesbaum fiasco, and he couldn't have been nearly as impressed as everyone seems to be with GB's alleged unique fundraising abilities. I thought for sure he'd be sent packing. Such a disappointment.
6 Million? I would have given her $20M to leave, had I the capability.
Defensive coordinators, sport agents and a dumb AD are the best things that have ever happened to Kirk Ferentz.
Donor stepped in and made a donation for roughly that amount right after it. He should have documented the issues he had with her rather than just passing it along as satisfactory reviews. She interviewed at like 20 other jobs and no one hired her, so that sort of speaks volumes also. I think Barta wanted her gone that way, but there were no takers.
Winningest football coach in Iowa history. Would have been 2-0 if Bruce hadn't fallen down or Pottebaum had held on to the ball.
Let's fire him immediately.
Yes, the offense sucked last year as well on the way to 10 wins. There's the door KF
The teams he beats aren't good enough. See ya' KF.
Great defense and special teams. Adios amigo.
KF is greedy and just mailing it in to say FU to the fans! The great, loyal Iowa fans! Fans are entitled to wins AND entertainment!
And still would have lost the Iowa State game if they don’t fumble it away at the 1 yard line or throw an interception deep in the red zone. Dude, don’t play the woulda, coulda, shoulda game.Winningest football coach in Iowa history. Would have been 2-0 if Bruce hadn't fallen down or Pottebaum had held on to the ball.

Kirk wants to win too. He can see what is going on. He is not stupid. He has to manage any dissent internally. I don't go batshit insane after a few games. Imagine we were Northwestern and have the swings up and down they have.
So Iowa State is so so great and a wide open creative offense and they come out with 10 points? What Iowa lacked was Ragaini and Johnson and more than one RB that was ready to go. And the OL is learning on the job. Hey Logan Jones you want to play center? We know you haven't done it before and you have to make the line calls, but hey after one game you will be all big 10 at the position.
Dude, stop being a homer. The thing true Hawk fans hate are those tavern Hawk fans who cry like babies over a loss. Man up. You’re the reason ISU fans laugh at many if our fans. So please, just STFU until we play them next year and hopefully beat them.
Iowa had 1 bad season at the end of Hayden's tenure when he was hiding a cancer diagnosis, does that mean Kirk's brand gets flushed down the toilet if this season turns out to be like 2012? Kirk's only cancer is his blind nepotism and that's self imposed
The directors cup is a joke in my opinion. A scoring system based on 19 sports when the median offered by the majority of schools is 16. Iowa offers 22. So they all must be stellar in order to finish highly ranked. Stanford has a stranglehold on the championship almost every year due to offering 36 sports. And 4 sports (if offered) must be included in final scoring: baseball, men's and women's basketball, and volleyball. What an odd choice of must haves.
