Pushing out = Convinced to retire.
I don’t see a problem with that b/c today’s football has become too much for Kirk to handle.

True - apparently Kirk either doesn’t know what a good qb looks like or can’t find one.
We should have beaten Iowa State, they are ranked number 11.
I wonder about Kirk's health some, every presser He has coughing bouts , this just started in the last Year or so.
How about if Cades not effective Lester trots out Sullivan but doesn't tell KF. Suddenly he's out there what's KF going to do ? Write down on his notepad what happened and chew gum furiously?
Chew out Lester but he was looking for a job when he got this one.
Switch at half? KF is still head coach and dont forget.....Cade gives us the best chance to win.
S
o you keep an old coach with again a bottom 5 passing game so he can catch Woody Hayes? Thats what’s best for the program?
Agree to Cade injury, but otherwise Ferentz will stick with Cade the entire game except maybe red zone and running clock out.
Why? Why should they have beaten Iowa State? This inability to accept a loss to Iowa State is ridiculous. They beat Iowa fair and square at Kinnick and would likely win at least half the games if the 2 teams played 10 times on a neutral field. The biggest difference between the 2 teams is a QB and receivers that are light years better than Iowa's. Everything else is pretty even.
Agree. You can woulda, coulda, shoulda it all you want but they flat out lost.
And I also agree that the primary reasons are due to an immobile qb with a weak arm, mediocre to poor wr corps and an overall sub par passing game. Being better than last year doesn't mean that it's any good. Because it's not.
Iowa blew a 2 score lead for like the 3rd time in 80 games. They pissed that game down their legs on several fronts, including McNamaras godawful INT and Kirk’s woeful clock management, along with our all American DB getting torched in improbable fashion.
That's what happens when your passing game collects 23 yards along with 2 ints over the final 3 quarters of play.
You have asked a way more pertinent question than many here probably realize. The answer I think has much to do with how things play out Saturday and the rest of the season. We have reached a turning point in many ways.
Lester seems young enough and competent enough to have options if he made the decision to move on if his hands remain tied and we continue to struggle offensively. He also I think has a future here under a Wallace or Woods coaching regime. Whether he will want to wait for Kirk to leave the scene seems a very open question.
I couldn't disagree more. I NEVER want the Hawks to lose. In anything. Never, ever. I never liked Steve Alford and was glad to see him go, but I always wanted the team to win when he was the coach.
It wouldn't be unprecedented. Padilla started the second half at OSU two years ago.
Same drivel every time. Haven't watched a press conference (outside of a couple BF ones and the Nebraska clapping one) in a decade. They're essentially pointless and only make those who question him even angrier afterwards.
To your point, yeah, I've seen a lot of coach press conferences where something important is being said or some insight is being gained. With KF, it's just rationale that only he agrees with and really, up until the BF fiasco, that was accepted. Obviously, he is much more properly scrutinized now for his actions, or lack thereof, and I'm all for it. People keep doing stupid shit, they should get called out for it. We all experience it in our professions most likely, why is he above that?
You don't actually believe they're the #11 team in the country do you?
You're right, we should've beaten them. That's on KF. It would've saved the nation of having to endure the preposterousness of ISU being ranked that high for doing essentially nothing, except beating us apparently.
That’s irrelevant. Thats what they’re ranked so that’s what they are. Could we have beaten them? Yes. Should we have beaten them? Probably but you can’t just quit playing and expect to win games. Iowa St never quit fighting and we didn’t do anything for an entire 2nd half. Oh, and Iowa St realized there’s a thing called the forward pass which we don’t know about yet. It helped them win the game.
