As we have been discussing in this thread since September 2023, one of the stipulations for the College Football Hall of Fame is you have to have won 60% of your games.
Assuming Kirk gets to 60% next season (which he currently is just below) and stays there, what say you?
Kirk 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
========================
When Kirk hit win #200 he became the 24th Division I coach to reach that milestone.
Keep in mind that KF never had a 60% season until his 7th year as a head coach when Iowa went 11-2 in 2002.
Kirk's first 6 years as a head coach:
12-21 (36.4%.......3 years at Maine)
...1-10 (9.1%...........Year 1 at IOWA)
...3-9 (25.0%.......Year 2 at IOWA)
....7-5 (58.3%.......Year 3 at IOWA)
.........................................................................
23-45 (33.8%) Record
===========================
Regarding the Aug 31, 2024 season opener vs Illinois State (40-0 Iowa win):
