Press Conference
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
I'm holding out hope that things will be better with Cade, if only for my own sanity. If there's no improvement after next year, and the offense is dismal again, KF will have burned what goodwill he has left
The question is... What level of success does BF have to achieve next season to still be the OC the following year? His offenses have been freaking WORSE than GD and KOK. How many dang years does wonder boy get?
My bet would be that BF will be retained beyond NEXT season, if we win 8 games and the offense is in the top 100 in the country (so only marginally better on offense, but still bad).
So like most seasons it'll be up to Phill Parker and his defense to save BF his job. Rinse and repeat.

I would be surprised if we break into the top 90 offensively. Could see maybe 90 to 100.
If Brian didn't lose his job after last season, he's never going to be held accountable. It's time for KF to go. He's had his run and now he's holding the program hostage for the benefit of his son's bank account.
That stat provided about the team success when scoring 24 or more points only proves how good the DEFENSE is!
How about what is our record when holding teams to under 21 points? Record when holding to under 14? Record when holding to under 10? I bet there are a surprising number of losses.

Can't wait to hear about all the exciting new wrinkles to the offense this fall.
Kirk basically said today that he will never get rid of Brian as OC. Not sure the performance of the offense next season will have any impact
That’s what’s hilarious.
Obvious follow up question
“ what’s your record win scoring 23 or less points?”
Blah blah blah
“So do you agree it would behoove you to score at least 24 points? And scoring more points, as it turns out, increases your likelihood of winning?”
Then we'll have to hope that the portal transfers can make an even bigger impact than expected. I still expect Budmayr to get a full-time position.
Gary Barta should have never allowed it. The powers the be need to start with firing GB.
KF just gave a dbl bird to all the fans, media, and players that have said change is needed.
The offense will appear better as our competition drops off.
With near zero help for the OL, WR, expect a lot of dbl TE sets. The scheme changes will end up being which foot to plant to make the 3yd out more effective on 3rd and 7. So they can say thst it was little changed, still working on it, got new guys learning the most complex O in the country.
Somebody’s gotta go for that to happen. Beyond that, I’m not real excited for that either. His body of work isn’t exactly sparkling.
Yeah, those people are dumb. I lost faith in the Ferentz family doing the right thing sometime between Brian living in govt subsidized housing while dad was making $4,000,000 and when he brushed it under the rug when his incompetent S&C coach put 13 players is the hospital with potentially permanent damage to their organs. Not only did that coach not get reprimanded, he was named Iowa assistant of the year shortly after.
That was also about when Kirk started ignoring the complaints black players had with how they were being treated in his program and kept ignoring it for decade until the mess of 2020 blew up and shamed the university, state, and fans. Although many on these boards seemed even more supportive of him after that. It is Iowa, I guess.
It's amazing that Kirk has fooled so many for so long with his "do it the right way" bullshit. He's a fraud and a shady piece of shit when his or his family's interests get in the way of doing the obvious right thing. It's time for him to retire
Kirk is slowly but surely burning up all the good will he's built. Barring a miraculous run...this is not going to end well.
You make some good points. Not a huge KF fan but I question how all of this played out under his watch yet all we hear is how good of a person he is. The buck stops with him regardless. I would like to see him held more accountable for what has went down during his tenure.
I care about the program more than a family that isn’t mine. Blatant nepotism and intentionally putting family interests ahead of your job should never have a positive outcome.
Kirk doesn’t care about making the Iowa Football team as good as it can possibly be. He is completely unserious about a major part of the game, and as a father myself, I think it’s bullshit that he is doing this to Brian. That might be what’s upsetting me the most; Mary apparently wanting to keep him close (selfish as hell, you let your kids carve their own path no matter how much you hate it), and Dad trotting him back out to fail again and ensure that Brian is a loathed figure.

Bingo. It is Kirk's offense! We will all understand this someday.
Much hinges on the overall W - L record. I expect the defense to drop off some, but I also expect the offense to pick up some. I think a great deal hinges on the O Line. How much better will that O Line be.
KF is so stuck on zone offensive line play, that it is ridiculous. The hybrid zone is easier to learn and to execute
I own it… I was 100 confident even KF knew he couldn’t extend this failed experiment. His decision to keep BF was “personal” and out the window went ‘what’s best for the team/program’ … in no other profession can you get progressively worse over 6 years and still get salary bumps while drastically under performing …. This does change my opinion of him as I felt like he gave a big FU to fans.

Yeah, i'm new, been on here since 2002. Doesn't mean I can't still expect more from the program. I am usually disappointed. Why do I put up with this Groundhog day experience under KF?
Nope. Not one. Kirk stated he had a "terrific" staff and no changes will be made.
He also publicly stated what Iowa fans have known all along: once they score as many points as he thinks is enough to win, they go conservative.
more like dropping a deuce and giving the middle finger to the fan base while doing it
KF has the same hope as you. He recently bought a vowel, and "O" (for offense) from Michigan, no doubt to make it appear that BF can do his job well. Smoke and mirrors for the sake of the dynasty.
Whats insane is they've performed on a level where this conversation is believable lol!
BF said they were going to open up the playbook. I'm hoping a more aggressive offense is coming but we'll need some wr's to step up.
