Kirk Ferentz Stubbornness reached a 10 yet?

[iowaflash]

….on a scale of 1 - 10? Been a long term KF supporter in the past, and recently posted Trust in Kirk, but no more. He is making himself look less credible every time now in front of the media, when he gives these “never thought about a QB change” answers. Something smells really weird. Why be all in for Spencer Petras, when it’s painfully obvious on game day he doesn’t cut it for the rest of the team CONSISTENTLY now?

 

[Kurt Warner]

I would say it's a 11 actually

 

[isuisshit]

it's infinity/10
he proved that he'd rather lose his way than win with someone else calling the plays

 

[TRHawkeye145]

He has been giving these condescending, arrogant answers for years. This isn't new

 

[Rustys Dad]

Even my 86 year-old dad said during the game: “Does Spencer have something on Kirk?” … referring to not benching him.

 

[Hawktruck]

Makes me wonder if he's developing early dementia affecting his decision making process.

"Looking at things". JFC. Last year Iowa ranked 123rd in total offense. 1 TD vs 10 INTS.

IF it was crappy OL play that's on Ferentz. He recruits. WTF is wrong with this guy? Does he feel so protected by job security he is isn't willing to make decisions for the program?

Maybe do what Nebby did - buyout is halved in the next month if no improvement. Winning the required "7 games" per contract is gonna be tough this year.

I think it's how the benching of Petras will be perceived as an indictment of Brian and Kirk's decision to have Brian assume the QB coaching role. And they would be correct on that. It's been a massive failure so far along with an offense that continues to flatline under their watch.

 

[pistachio1999]

When Padilla comes in and doesn't light the world on fire after 2 or 3 games, then what? On to the next guy?

Brian doesn't decide who starts at QB. That is Kirk all the way.

You all remember Padilla got yanked against Nebraska last year right?????

I think we are past that, now.

He is going to kill our defense. They are on the field all game after all the 3 and outs. The louder the calls for change the more he will double and triple down. It is about the family business since no one will fire him. He has the most unique position in college football.

Don’t need anyone to light the world on fire. Only need average accountable QB that can make the makeables.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Kirk has reverted to Kirk 1.0….stubborn, condescending, and arrogant on being right about his wrong decisions and double, now tripling down on them.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Yes, so why doesn't SP? He should have been yanked numerous times. If Padilla doesn't perform then it's Labas time. SP should be on the bench period no more reps.

Shouldn't Padilla get 15-20 games too though?

 

[kcgolfer]

Kirk just gave a big middle finger to Iowa’s fans. He’s getting more and more difficult to defend. I get he’s trying to protect his son, but come on. Enough is enough.

Ahh... I see you are still one of the remaining BF/Kirk supporters when it comes to offense. Just a reminder....

Kirk 3.0 we hardly knew ya!

JFC. This must be a moronic Husker board.

 

[hawkeye54545]

I think with Kirk stuff like the Cameos and the national media hammering him so hard actually makes him dig in more.

The reality is that the Pelini-Nebraska debacle has scared Iowa fans shitless and made Ferentz an untouchable egomaniac. He has 1 (shared) big ten title and 1 bcs bowl win (against mighty Georgia Tech) in 22 years. The Brad Banks/Dallas Clark year was his chance to win a natty, but he blew it by losing to Iowa State. Banks was not given much experience the prior year and we have yet to start another athletic qb since. He hired his son as coordinator which should've never been allowed. He's almost lost to 3 different fcs schools at home, miraculously winning 2 of them with consecutive blocked field goals and a dropped pick 6. This dude should've been put out to pasture at the end of his last contract. He's not even the best head coach in his own state.

FIFY

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

As good as Iowa's D is, the offense really only needs to average 14 points a game. That is NOT asking too much.

Even if Iowa went undefeated, they weren’t playing Miami for the title, tOSU was locked into that title game ahead of Iowa on name recognition and the polls would of had them ahead of Iowa.

If as you say the hawks are 2-4 after Ohio St and Padilla is below avg then bring in Labas and let him improvise like Tate did. Remember in 2012, Vandeberg was having such a tough year but played all the snaps when Rudock could have been given at least a few series the last 3-4 games.

 

[Lumas Etima]

In fairness, Kirk's stubbornness has been the reason for almost every coaching success he has had at Iowa. His entire coaching philosophy is based on the premise of doing what he thinks is right, regardless of the outside noise.

I'm as frustrated by the way this season has gone so far as anyone (and I am absolutely in favor of a QB change, among other moves). But it's really not surprising to see Kirk dig in like this.

Frustrating? Absolutely. But not surprising.

I would argue it was the Tom Davis situation, not Pelini.

There are still fans that throw out the ridiculous “remember what happened when we ran Tom Davis out of town” B.S.
