South Dakota St QB Mark Gronowski visiting Iowa today, Jan 3. He won TWO Nattys, went 49-6 & threw for 10,330 yds & 93 TDs

216-145 I believe overall. Iowa would need to go 9-4 next year to eclipse 60%.

Fair point. On the other hand, Iowa pretty desperately needs to show the world it can resuscitate its passing offense. Even if you only win 7-9 games, but you demonstrate you can pass the ball effectively, it can reap dividends on future QB and WR recruiting.
I like that. Even if you only win 7-9 games. As in, "We had an off year, we only won 9 games."

Wonder how many games we have to win next year for Kirk to be over the 60% HOF mark. I hate math….

Kirk, at Maine & Iowa, has now been the head coach in 361 games. He's won 59.83% of those games.

To be at 60.00% (or better) at the end of the 2025 season, assuming a 13 game season, Kirk needs to go 9-4 (or better), which would put him at 225-149 (60.16%).

Kirk's current record:

.......12-21 (36.4%):...............3 years at Maine..........(1990-92)
204
-124 (62.2%):...........26 seasons at Iowa (1999-present)
..................................................................
216-145 (59.83%) Overall Record

I agree 100% that’s the only reason it makes sense. It would pay dividends forsure, on the other hand if you suck again it’s gonna hurt BAD… but that’s why they coach football.. gotta go for it. As a normal hard working business owner 2 million is just insane to me.. I’d have to work like 15 years to make that… kids don’t realize how lucky they are to be gifted athletically

A win against Mizzou and he'd be over right now. And 8 wins next year would have kept him above the limit. Just like he coaches games, right down to the wire. Seems appropriate. Hope he gets there.
 
Is this confirmed or are you simply a counterweight to the other guys who know nothing saying it's a done deal?
NOT confirmed, continual guessing on all of our parts both ways. Just be patient, the best source (TX Hawk) said to be patient as details are finalized. Now, certainly, in the NIL this changes on a dime but that's at least a trusted, solid source (e.g. Brad H of the Swarm).

Wouldn't Iowa basically have to give Gronowski a guarantee he would be the starter before he would come? I don't see them doing that - and I don't see him coming unless they did.

Thanks. At least I know that everyone is still completely full of shit. It's comforting in a way.
 
I think you are right; if Lester gets the room to 6 I can't imagine they all stick around
Five always seems to be their sweet spot. If they got to six, I would imagine Shaggy is the first man out. G, Brown, Sullivan and the two youngsters.

I agree with you; I think this pay to play is all getting insane

Pribula reportedly got $1.5M from Mizzou

Did anyone report what Gronowski is actually seeking from Iowa? If so, was that just a guess? The reason I ask: Brad/SWARM keeps these numbers confidential.
