As an outsider I always assumed that Brett Bielema would eventually replace Ferentz. How would you feel about it?
When Kirk retires will Iowa hire Brett Bielema?

Really? He is an Iowa man though. Figured he'd be a great fit for you guys and it seems that the whole SEC thing isn't working out for him.
Nope. He is a great Hawkeye. But his personality mixed with the Iowa administration would go together as well as oil & water.
Hayden Fry was a bully and could be a bit of a jerk much like BB. I remember a story when he told Gary Barnett in 1994 "I hope we didn't hurt your boys" after the game. Fry was hardly the class act that Ferentz is.
Yes, that actually happened. Got another example?
Hayden Fry was a class act. He liked to do a little subtle trash talk, but he's no jerk.
Comparing Bret B to Hayden Fry is like comparing Bo Pelini to Tom Osborne.
I wouldn't be opposed. He would probably bring in better recruits and as much hate to say it he does coach like Hayden in the sense if he's up 28-0 he's looking to score more and go for the jugular like Fry. One of the big differences I think between Hayden and Kirk is KF takes his foot of the pedal little more in those instances. Bielama proved he could win and be successful in the big 10. Huge difference with him coaching in sec west best division in college football and big 10 west. Think he would be very successful at Iowa even though he could rub some people the wrong way but sure as long as he wins they could get past that stuff.
Stop with the Bielema shit. He's persona non grata in this state.
No, they couldn't afford to feed him.
I'm not so sure that his success at Wisky, didn't have more to do with Barry Alverez's system there. He seems to just keep right on rolling there. New coaches three of the last four years, new coordinaters, and they still look like Barry's team.
Wonder when the Arkansas fans start wearing Kansas style t shirts that say, "Our coach will eat your coach!"
