I should have clarified a little. It’s 5 stars, it’s speed, it’s game-breaking ability. Iowa has quite a few kids in nfl. That speaks to what Iowa can develop - technique, strength, etc. note that we have almost zero at skill positions. That’s because you can’t teach game breaking ability...

I was being a little facetious.

It’s the university thanking KF for doing what he’s done. KF and son will be in charge at least 6 more years.

My only comment is that top programs have loads of speed, everywhere. We’ve had maybe 20 in 20 years. Sure, some aren’t great football players. But it’s a percentage game. When you have loads of speed - same as depth - kids not working out, injuries, kids graduating and leaving early, etc can...

How many deep passes did Stanley throw this year? I still have fingers after my count.

Quote from article ranking KF 29th best head coach: “ Simply put, he's an absolute master at taking the proverbial diamonds-in-the-rough and turning them into legitimate Big Ten talents. ” And that’s his entire career in a nutshell. He has to work to turn kids into legitimate big 10 talents...

Should have hired pat summit back in the day.

Posted first time in a while in another thread. Haven’t posted in awhile. Thought interesting topic. Went to a game this year. Watch most games on tv. The truth is that KF is all class. Represents university very well. Done some great things. Develops talent like a machine! Players well...

Snooze fest. Will do what dad wants. Nothing will be elevated. Class family. Hard working. Represents university well. Is that enough though? Is that what fans want? Side note: name the last time Iowa audibled to a pass.

Iowa needs speed. Won’t get anywhere consistently until KF and son are gone. Need a coach who can recruit top talent.

KF class coach. Represents university well. Good developer of talent. System negates talent, which works in favor when underdog, but Iowa loses games they shouldn’t vs weaker competition. Biggest fail over entire career is recruiting speed. Never has, never will. Iowa always limited in terms...

Brands brothers could learn a little from Sanderson.

That's just plain dumb. I'm all Hawks, but Sanderson eating Iowa (and everyone) alive lately.

And that's where KF has failed (generally very good otherwise) - he doesn't / can't recruit talent. It's impossible to be at that highest level without the talent.

lightning1 has it right. The #1 issue is the lack of recruitment of SPEED. Been the problem since KF got there.

Iowa doesn't have the talent - have had it maybe a couple of times in KFs era.

Need speed. Just don't have enough of it. Never have.

Agree 100% with original poster. Yes, you need coaching, schemes, yada yada - but you gotta have the athletes to compete at the highest level year in and year out. Iowa gets close to that level once every 5 or so years by "over-achieving" with smart, hard-working kids. But to get to the next...

There we go!! Over. The. Top.

Exactly! Gotta make plays - go for it. Can't be conservative.
