Yeah Wisconsin game one of the most deceiving games ever for an offense getting credited for 24 pts. A day they had 146 yards. Tds drives were-
A few comments ...
His point went right over your head. He stated that knowing the team missed the mark of 24.
Well Greg Davis when at Texas had receivers who could more often get more open and make a defender miss and get a big gain.
I will say that I did not read the whole presser transcript but from what I understand and read Kirk surely did not mention the poor record when the hawks score less that 24 points, nor did he mention how many times, a lot times, that it happens.
KF likes to clap back with selective stats that make his point but his retorts when presented with the opposite side of the argument are comical at best. He is like a politician that lives in an alternative reality when it comes to the real world regarding his son’s job performance and defending it. KF’s going to win the war but how many fans is he going to lose while losing these battles.
That's the thing. For years fans would give him a pass. But KF is getting more and more snarky with the media, who still aren't that tough but have actually been pressing him more lately on certain topics, and slowly but surely there are fans he's starting to lose. Press conferences all year and especially last week rubs fans the wrong way and the lengths he will go to defend his son are hurting him. I know plenty over last few years who are still Iowa fans and were big KF supporters but are ready to move on from him.
I think this speaks for itself...

CDJ and X had more TDs (4) than our entire WR group all year (3)
KM and JE had 3 fumble recovery for TDs.... same # as our WRs
The offense was that pathetic. There really isn't a word to describe how bad it was
Where do our wins rank overall during that time versus all other Power 5 teams? Most of the negative persons on here seem to think we would be 40th among Power 5 in total wins over that period. From what I recall its in the teens. Pretty f-ing good in my opinion. Could always be better yes, but let's first say what we had was pretty damn good and not like Kirk is some giant dufus that totally sucks at coaching football.
If you are running a big corporation like John Deere. Profits are high. But lets say you have one division that is the one that keeps operating in the red. Do you just ignore it and say well overall we are doing great so things are good? Or do you try and make it profitable and just as strong as the other ones? On top of it if a certain manager has been in charge of the division operating at a loss isn't that a good place to start making the changes?
Natty every year or fire everyone! Say we got to where we ranked # 8 in wins, you would still say hey we can do better and if Kirk won't fire him! I guarantee you none of the people who state this sort of thing practice this in their daily lives.
On a couple of podcasts I listen to, the hosts have made mention of a stat that tracks an offense's production as a function of total possible yardage where scoring a TD on offense counts as 100% for that drive, regardless of where on the field that drive started. So, if a team had an offensive production of 100, it means they scored TDs on every drive. I'm not sure how FGs are tracked. I am also not sure of WHERE this stat is tracked, so if anyone here knows of a website(s) where this is kept, that would be awesome.
I think the Oline aspect of this is particularly egregious. Iowa's line in 2021 was bad, and it was obviously so. And it was young, there has been a ton of attrition among the "senior" classes (2018 and 2019) that should have been the nucleus of the 2021 and 2022 teams. Despite this, Iowa made zero moves in the portal after the 2021 season to try and shore up the Oline. Add to that, we were losing our far-and-away best player on the line, Linderbaum. So the net effect going into 2022 was significantly negative. And that is on the coaches to not have addressed the issue before 2022.
Absolutely no way am i saying that to the wife(no pics). She doesn't need to lose 20 lbs and my couch is really uncomfortable.
Let’s look at baseball. Iowa’s defense is the pitching staff who constantly takes a 1 to 0 loss after giving up a run in the 14th inning. No need to look at the team’s batters (Iowa’s offense).
Did I say natty every year or fire everyone? I said we can do better because there is a glaring deficiency in one facet of the team that is clearly not caring it's weight but they get a pass because the other 2 are so good. Just imagine how much better the results would be with any type of improvement. Just think in any profession you ranked in the bottom 5% of your field one year then dropping to the bottom 1% the next year. Where literally 99% of your competitors are better than you. Most people lose their jobs or are demoted. But then you say let's bring that guy back running that area for another go around... Not a formula for success.
Curious - Is that total points? Or is that just the offense numbers (including field goals/XP) ?
Natty every year or fire everyone is a ridiculous response. You are missing the point entirely.
So what you are saying is they are not getting coached up or are not talented enough to be D1 players? Who is that on?
Nothing more true than this statement
You apparently haven't paid attention to the specifics that Ferentz has already expounded upon.
It's not his real logic. It's very deliberate and dishonest cherry picking of the stats that makes him and Jr come across as less incompetent on O than the worst power 5 offense of the modern era and near that last year would indicate. Only the really dumb and Kool aid drinkers are buying it. Shady AF
Dishonest cherry picking stats???!?? Everyone on here is dishonest as hell then.
The latter. I think it's bogus of KF to include the defense and special teams points. Those you should not count on.
KF went back 8 years so he could include the undefeated B10 season.
I agree with this. BF is destroying his qbs confidence instead of developing them. Best thing Cade can do is ignore BF, and he’s veteran enough he probably will. But the young guys can’t really do that. Its obvious these guys are playing scared, scared to make a mistake.
I’d really like to sit in on practices, film rooms, etc and see how many of these crazy theories are full of crap.
What quarterback at iowa got better from the day he stepped on campus under Brian? Maybe Stanley?!?
Stanley got better. However, the sample size is not great. It also doesn't help when the protection isn't good either ... that gets into the head of the QB (especially when you're facing off against quality B1G defenses).
Yes, it’s really “crazy” to state the obvious that the qb is playing tight, scared and afraid to make a mistake and the “qb coach” who knows nothing about qb play is a big detriment here.
