He definitely is reaping the rewards of these high profile jobs being open. Best time to get a contract restructure/extension!

I did see the one after the Iowa loss. It surprised me as well. I thought he'd be more of a well spoken coach who always said the correct things. Now I'm not sure how the hell he was so successful at Cincinnati. He looks more like a MAC coach than a P4 coach, IMO. You can't just go up there lost...

In addition, what is so impressive is how KF always kept the locker room, even in adversity. Franklin lost his team, Fickel has lost or is losing his team. One of the players said in an interview, they don't have an identity. KF has never really lost the team. Maybe the 2006 season is the...

Going after $$$$ and what ends up being success are two separate measures. In general, schools are always taking risks when hiring new coaches so you really don't know how it's going to work out. See Bill Belichick. I don't know what he has for children or age, but that may be the main reason...

In addition, his QB Brecht is a senior. But what makes me lean more to it being after this season is there is going to be a huge arm's race to fill these coaching positions and the $$$$ will be huge these coaches get.

I have this strong feeling that he will be leaving Iowa St after this season. I feel there are just too many high profile jobs/opportunities that have opened up and that are going to open up in the BIG and the SEC. I think this is the year to be able to move and kind of pick his spot. I feel he...

I generally agree with you. Penn St. is still a Div 1 program with quality recruits. I see a team rallying around an interim coach who really wants to win with the hopes of gaining the job. Dangerous game, IMO, especially when Iowa has some questions in areas.

Ethan Grunkmeyer in Kinnick.

Will this be Iowa's 3rd game on Peacock this year? I don't keep track as I've had Peacock for couple yrs now.

Is Ron Zook still available?

What a f'in train wreck. Lol.

Not all the time and not for every university and depends on the sport. Iowa football historically has supported most of the other sports at Iowa. Some are not self-sustaining. It's even more difficult now if having to support the demands of players and coaches salaries.

The BIG and the SEC are going to be the only two real power conferences and going separate themselves from the other conferences. The 4-5* players and great coaches are all going to go after the $$$$ these two conferences will have over all the other conferences. All the good players in the...

I agree it is not sustainable. This is really going to separate teams drastically into different tiers with the BIG & SEC reigning the most power with $$$$. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE OUR FAVORITE TEAM in one of these conferences, just to at least be viewed as relevant. The changes already have...

Kind of what I am thinking. Wouldn't it have been better to beat Penn State who didn't shit the bed against who is viewed as a chitty team? Iowa needed Penn St to be a contender for any slim chance at all. Having Penn St lose is only worse for Iowa SOS.
