Guys like Saban and even Paterno realized several years ago that offense needed to be pass oriented and aggressive in order to continue to compete. Our coach keeps bringing up 1980’s as if it was just a few years ago. Time for new blood who realizes you can’t win championships with no offense.
Retire Kirk

I love and respect KF but he needs to go. He loves Iowa so much, show us in the moment when you voluntarily step away.
Actually, you are attacking others, calling them children.
And you've been banned twice recently for your extremely bizarre behavior. Each of those bans was for a week. Did you forget?
People talk about how it could get so much worse without Kirk? Who cares….its a game, roll the dice, if we suck we suck. Lets have some fun.
You're no genius. Without Phil Parker Iowa wouldn't have won more than a handful of games over the past several years.
Alright, I'll hear you out. Why does he still deserve respect? I personally feel like how he handled the Brian situation changed that aspect of him still deserving respect.
Phil Parker is one of the best DCs in the nation. Full stop on that.
Parker is the reason Kirk hasn't been fired. The vast majority of Kirk's wins over the last decade are because of PP.
He's a good man off and on the field and has been a great ambassador for Iowa. He's won a lot but staying after this season it'll start to tarnish more and more his legacy. He's too damn stubborn to adjust to the times and it's becoming costly.
I felt that way about him, but the nepotism thing changed that, and also the stubbornness. His snarky attitude also was a factor.
So, here's the thing about that. Anyone with kids who thinks that what Kirk did with Brian was so horrible and nefarious needs to reevaluate themselves and what they would do for their kids. Blood is thicker than water or Iowa football. As a fan you can be angry about it, but it doesn't make Kirk a shitty person.
Hmm.. So maybe we can blame Phil for that then. I kid.
I understand the desire to look out for his son, but it showed that he'll break rules and be unethical, which makes him a shitty person for demanding that others be held accountable, but he doesn't think he should.
Barta gave permission for Kirk to do what he did. Kirk might have been oblivious with respect to his and Brian's abilities to run an offense, but that's exactly why he put Brian in that position. I don't think Kirk ever even considered that it could end the way that it did. Kirk is hardly the first successful man to be overcome with hubris and make some really bad decisions as a result.
Not thinking things all the way through has become quite a regular pattern with KF.
It was obvious to me back in ‘17 that promoting BF to OC would almost certainly end in disaster.
I feel the same. I wonder how he balances that v. an under 60% winning percentage in trying to do so. Kind of a race to do both and becoming more difficult.
