Kirk Ferentz is an absolute embarrassment
- Thread starter uiowa08
- Start date
This years schedule is about the same as the Big Ten West. The schedule Gods have loved us for a long time.
Jeeeebys keeeerist!
Is this a “football board” or an Emergency Room for mental health cases?
Holy shit…

“about” gives one lots of leeway…
I don’t know how anyone can realistically be pissed about how tOSU turned out…it was “men against boys” and it turned out that way.
Iowa has a huge game this next week…(I fear it ends badly for them)… Iowa could struggle the rest of the year… but then, Kirk has a reputation of turning things around when least expected. Go Hawks!
Yep, and you will continue to take beatings like you did Saturday on a routine basis. Congrats on your power 2 status!
My question for this board and those supporting KF is the decision making around the QB role. Why the reluctance to make changes and why the reluctance to get grittier with this role? 4th and foot and Sullivan probably gets the first with a sneak. Sullivan and his mobility perhaps takes some of the heat off KJ. Cades arm is obviously nothing great so Sullivan can’t be any worse there either. This inability to adjust and pivot on Kirk’s part is my biggest objection to his last 5 years of running the program.
This year, yeah.
The greater point is the gratification some Iowa fans have received going to the BTCG a couple years because Iowa won the West despite being maybe the 4th or 5th best team in the conference is over.
All Kirk has to do is give Lester full control of play calling and the Offensive depth chart and recruiting of His Offense , Kirk must realize when You are playing the #3 Team in the Nation on the road in a close Game You attack and keep attacking , He did the opposite Yesterday, He showed full frontal vulva to the entire Country . You have to attack when You get opportunities because against that defense You will not get as many as You get against the Troy's of the World.
KF's tenure is going to end just like Fry's did at the current pace.
Some coaches just hang on too long.
The fact that he's stubborn isn't helping.

Go easy His Cousin and livestock all turned Him down for fun time, Sperm retention syndrome is at dangerous levels in that fanbase
I remember over the years how I would tape the game and then look forward to replaying it and enjoying the O and D plays, but that was a few years ago. I don't even tape them anymore, because I no longer care to punish myself. I don't know what KF's buyout is, but I think it's pretty large. I would think at some point he would be big enough to give it up. We've wasted excellent defenses the last several years for nothing. Sad.
I will look forward to watching Marco Lainez light it up for some other team next year.

I’m not a big analytics person but you’d think P4 football has people with that info and time, distance and point on the field. You can’t tell me #s weren’t widely in favorable of Iowa going for it on 4th and short and odds of getting points on the drive high if they converted. Problem was Kirk was coaching that game like it was a 7 pt game against NW at home not at #3 OSU.
Whats even more maddening is times when Kirk does roll the dice make no sense a lot of the time. It’s like he randomly gets a wild hair up his @ss and decides to go for it. Like 2 pts try against isu. No reason especially with RZ play that day. Or few years ago up 15 against Nebby in the 3rd qtr and does a fake fg that was chip shot. Instead of going up 3 scores we need a last sec fg to bail us out. I remember 15’ game at Wisc. Game we won 10-6 first qtr around 10 yd line 4th and 3-4 goes for it and fails instead of taking pts on a day you know pts are at a premium.

It doesn’t matter who the OC is as long as KF is the HC.
Sure it does. His OC’s have ranged from successful to terrible. I think the new guy is the right guy. I’m not sure the current OL coach is.
We just need KF to change - to loosen up/trust Lester a bit more.
