For reference I would much much much rather suffer for 2 or 3 years than deal with this shit for one more game. Go!
Kirk apologists... sell me on why he should stay past this year?
- Thread starter nelly02
- Start date
I do not think he should.
But I don’t think we should fire him.

I think he should stay so that you remain pissed off.
Well **** you then
Not an apologist, but he's (at least) a few years past his 'shelf life'.
127-7* against ranked opponents in the last 4 games against such.
Hard to walk away from the money, I guess, but Ferentzball = decent bowl at best and be happy for it.
I want more than that.
(* - TD scored against 3rd string Buckeye defense in garbage time)

I feel like some of his pussy and chickenshit moves bleeds into the players.
Essentially his dumbass decisions tell them he doesn't believe in them

I don't care... Force him to retire. Say hey thanks but the game has passed you by. If you wanted to stay you should have shown that you are willing to adapt. But he is going the complete other way. I'm just done.
He should have retired after the 2019 Holiday bowl...
I'm sure the guys involved in converting the fake punt truly appreciated his calling the timeout as the play was snapped and took that achievement away from them.
.... and then the punter shanks a 22-yder the very next play.
This is twhat pisses me off the most. He has no situational awareness. In this game he should be going in with an all out mentality. But it seems like he squeezes up even more. It just tells the players ohh we aren't winning this let's shut it down. And then we still get the doors blown off. I could handle it if we got our ass kicked and took some chances to actuality win. Instead we play pussy football and still get our doors blown off. I hate it I'm just so tired of watching it
1. he is a scholar and a gentleman
2. averaging 9.5 wins per year last decade
3. bf isn’t ready to takeover yet, needs 2-3 years seasoning at md

I don't have to follow an NFL team because I watch one every Saturday. Roughly 8 wins is enough to make the playoffs. KF shoots for that wildcard berth every year, and because he usually gets it, no need to gas yourself striving for more.
Agreed.
Also I feel we may the poster children of hating each other's politics but being basically the same person once you remove the politics.
Im.not an a
I'm not an apologist but the biggest reason for not firing is called buyout
I think you are trying to start an argument with someone that only exists in your mind.
But hey let's see if they show up in this thread.
It’s just boring
There’s never any scheming against an opponent. Instead it’s all about balance
Oh we had success with the run??? Better call some passes to get us 50/50 split
Every once and while he lets his OC scratch where it itches, but that happens what, once every 2 seasons ?
We have no shot because we treat every game as a training / developmental experience

This position is inherently contradictory and incoherent
If you conclude that further employment is not warranted then employment is not warranted.
Manufacturing feel-good reasons to overcome the principal conclusion is self-defeating and a clear indication of weakness.
This times a million…..post of the day
Yep that is 100% correct. And for what it is worth **** politics. I would rather agree on everything else and not that.
Ok. Then please do all you can to pressure retirement. That's all I ask
Oh I know a ton of people who do not frequent this board I could have this argument in person with. I'm just tired of hearing their voices I thought I would come here and see if I could hear from someone new from that (insanely wrong) side of the argument here.
Last year was the first year I said Kirk needed to hang it up. This year I think we need to make it clear this is the end of his contract is the end of the road.
But, but....TOM DAVIS!!!
The Iowa program is the only one that announcers call out our play not to lose / ultra conservative nature
This is what Iowa does
We don’t want to make a mistake - play scared
Complimentary football!!
Every other school….we want to create mismatches, get our best players the ball in space…score fast!
That has never been said about Kirk’s team

Yes! This is where I am. I will never understand the oh he did a good job before we just have to suffer because he deserves to leave on his own terms. **** that this is cutthroat shit. If he can't keep up sorry you gotta go. And it's not like he won us ****ing national titles we won 2 Co big titles the last was 20 years ago. Thanks but if you can't keep up anymore time to go.
It's not so much the coach as the program overall. Pay for play has changed the landscape and Iowa is not in the game.
I will say, it’s getting harder and harder for me to justify buying season tickets. I said this year I was staying in for the long haul to preserve my seats for “after Kirk”.
But….yikes…
But….yikes…
Iowa fans aren't going to contribute to Iowas NIL as long as Ferentz refuses to let go of the offensive reins. Fans are sick and tired of crummy conservative offenses and the same worn out excuses.
Look, we could have Nick Saban on the sidelines and we would still not have the ability to lineup and play winning football against the roster OSU has.
Do you want to go back to the 1960s and ‘70s?
Tsk tsk. Be careful what you wish for. Iowa could easily be on the wrong end of some of these 10-6 barn burners against Illinois and Northwestern. We can’t afford to take that risk.
If Kirk is still alive at 90, I want him on the sidelines. I don’t care if he is drooling into a bib while rolling out of the tunnel in a mobility scooter. He could still be scribbling on index cards while shitting into Depends, chomping bubble gum while punting on 3rd and inches from the opponent’s 33 yard line, and I would still want him coaching at Iowa.
Do you really want to turn into Nebraska?
I didn’t think so.
Beth needs to find someone willing to sneak into Kirk’s office Saturday morning and swap out his game day Juicy Fruit for Ex Lax gum, so that he craps his khakis in front of 70,000 people and gets laughed off the field.
I’m so tired of him and his milquetoast approach.

to some extent I agree, but we’re not even competitive.
And it’s just not fun football anymore. It’s a game, some people act like we’re splitting atoms and can’t get too risky. Iowa football needs to clean house and a full refresh.
