We already know this.
This was the argument for why we can't divorce for him during the last contract. We were waiting until that contract ended.
But Barta and his wisdom deviced to make that same mistake again. Now we are in the same predicament.

Daddy will make sure the next head coach of Iowa will have the same last name as him.
OMG. The most honest and candid post to appear in this forum in years.
Saying what many of us are thinking.
If you guys think KF will EVER step down, you are delusional. He probably wouldn't have worried about renewing that contract if he was ever even CLOSE to doing that or retiring. He is stubborn, and will probably have to be hauled out kicking and screaming after he has totally demolished his legacy.
The ONLY thing that will get him out before that contract is even close to ending, is not buying tickets, and not by 10 or 15K, i mean by 40-50k. That will never happen here though, to many fans loyal to Hawkeye Football.
Brace yourselves folks, it's about to get pretty ugly, or I think the accurate word is, lower mediocrity. That is where this program will stay until he is gone, lower mediocrity.

Let us just suppose Iowa is able to lure a Tom Herman to coach at Iowa, how much more money would the football program bring in if Herman could turn Iowa into a national power? Could Iowa afford to pay Herman 5 or 6 million a year to be a player in the National Championship hunt every year?
We can speculate all we want, but Ferentz is going nowhere, especially after the ridiculous extension. This is very disappointing seeing several other programs in our conference having either secured proven coaching talent or aggressively searching out leaders that will improve their programs.
Yep, the focus shouldn't be on KF's job right now. It should be on Barta's job.
screw that guy. guy is a douchebag snake. his motorcycle accident a few years back was karma for how he slithered out of Atlanta
FWIW. This article is a few years old (2012), but still interesting IMO.

After 30 years of adult fandom, I think I finally got this fan gig figured out.
I stopped buying season tickets. I stopped donating money. I watch the games at home with good drinks and good friends. I complain when we play like crap and I enjoy it when we play good. I lose ZERO sleep over Iowa athletics.

What I don't understand is why they did not keep someone around to help Croston. And let's face it we do not have elite receivers. They are having trouble getting any separation. And man do we miss Henry Krieger Coble.
What makes me laugh about the crowd who thinks we cannot get a better coach is that we had Bob Stoops in the bag until we pissed him off. Granted, he had Iowa ties but he was the hottest assistant coach in the country at the time and that is exactly what we can do again. No we are not going to get Saban or Meyer but we can get the hot lower level program coach looking to take the next step or the hot coordinator who is ready to be a HC.
Exactly man, Iowa is a great job, and could land themselves one hell of coach, if handled well by the athletic dept.
You state examples of teams that were playing very well, but then were caught off-guard by a determined quality underdog that played lights-out in a program-defining performance. Do you really think that described Iowa? They've been playing like absolute dogsh*t, and despite the double-digit spread many people saw that turd coming a mile away.
Yeah probably the Michigan game. Don't care as long as they show heart. Iowa wants to play like Alabama but it doesn't have the skill players or lines or Saban. Our coaching staff is not good enough to overcome talent gaps. Lest we forget Michigan St was DESTROYED by Alabama last year. And I'm sorry but Dantonio is a least a decent coach. That's the bar to be champions folks and we are not even close.
