Concurred. The only time I've seen any media correspondence was when BF was involved. Outside of those debacles and maybe the "Smell a rat" response, which was funny, I don't think I've paid him any attention since about 2011. He undoubtedly likes it that way, I'm sure. He's as uninteresting in the press conferences as are the typically vetted questions being asked. He's wise, and can be quite humorous, of course, but outside of snippets here and there, if you've heard one press conference from him, you've heard them all. The guise of being humble in my opinion, which, of course, KF is has proven to be anything but. He definitely views himself on a pedestal after the BF fiasco. He'll never recover completely, especially if the offense really does get better almost immediately. It's odd but he's almost incentivized to do poorly to prove it was the talent rather than his son that was the problem as odd as that sounds. Of course, it was evident to anyone with a functional brain and even a remote concept of what offense is supposed to look like regarding what the problem is, and continues to be, but we're just little old fans that don't know what we're talking about in KF eyes.Of course all coaches use some form of coach-speak, but you have to admit that KF is the absolute A-1 King of talking to the press and saying absolutely nothing. I have not bothered to listen to him talk for more than 2 minutes at a time for the past 10 or so years with the exception of his weekly press conference following the BF firing.
I love KF in a lot of ways while absolutely loathing him in others. After 25 years, he's definitely had a lasting impact in my life. He's synonymous with Iowa football good and bad. Overall, I'd say he's been a great boon for us. I just wish he'd retire sooner rather than later. Football is a young man's game and we definitely need some innovative creativity.
