I agree with some of what I will call the "pitchfork crowd." I even agree with Vintage (who dislikes me a lot to say the least) to some degree about seeking only the status quo. But others do not like the die coming up snake-eyes on a gamble. You'd have to agree that getting rid of Ferentz...

I know this will get a chuckle from a few posters, but I said a few years back that we should assimilate Farley into our staff somehow- Maybe D-Cordinator? He'd be good youthful candidate that could potentially replace Ferentz. His teams are perennially top ranked defensively in the FCS, plus he...

I think that having a coach in the Big Ten -scandal free- is also worth mediocrity more than a used car salesman that would come in and "chizik" on the program at the earliest opportunity. Or he performs the the same as Ferentz, so why take the risk, when odds point to mediocrity no matter which...

The answer your looking for is impossible- there is no coach that would get Iowa to a better place. I've been "won" over on a coordinator change to see if that helps with some noticeable deficiencies that staff puts forward schematically.

Why can't Minnesota win 7; or Indiana? Or purdue? Year in and year out? Iowa has only had two years in 10 they did not have 7+ wins. Sorry, but that brings a smile to my face

http://dpdsdogs.com/ncaa/bowlstks.htm College Football Bowl Participation Streaks Seventy FBS schools participated in 35 bowl games at the end of the 2010 season. There were also two other bowl-eligible teams, Temple (8-4) and Western Michigan (6-6). Following is a list of schools with the...

i dont know, but when michigan didnt go to a bowl a few years back they had 33+ straight years of bowl eligibility. something crazy like that

I only need to have two, NFL and Consistency. If you come to Iowa, you're pretty much ensured you'll go to 4 maybe 5 bowls if you redshirt. we have been bowl eligible every year under Ferentz. you get a lot of exposure, and great gifts. kids like those shopping sprees they get now.

I'm sorry, i must have not been as clear. I think we are consistent? 12 straight years of bowl eligibility, every year we are in or around the top 25. We have won 3 straight bowls in three straight years for the first time ever. We have softer boom and bust seasons. meaning we are no worse than...

he was being sarcastic if you're familiar with CAARhawks posts

I didn't even come close to saying that. What I Said was- Iowa has lost 3 bowl games under Ferentz, those three teams (USC 2002, 2005 Florida, & Texas 2006) either won the BCS Title the year before (Texas 2006) or went on to win the BCS title the following year (2002 USC, 2005 Florida). And...

I forgot to add that he would most definitely "file papers" with the NFL. But after watching him this year- i feel more comfortable saying he'll be back than i did about prater/mcnutt last year. -on a side note i also think that Hyde files his papers too. just a guess on him though.

please do not imply i said any of these things. also, I in no way said annybody wasnt a true hawk fan. Hawk fans are just to spoiled. people just want all things, and they want it now from the program. but we first have to be consistent first, before we can be consistently good.

Returning Starters on O: (9) (+Derby / +Scherff / + K-Mart / +Staggs were not counted) We replace Zus and McNutt.* Returning Starters on D: (5) (+Sleeper / +Lowery / +Hitchens were not counted) We replace Daniels, Binns, Nardo, Bernstine, & Nielson. So 14 Starters return, with 7 others that...

I missed C-Fed, Derby, K-Mart, 6-8 OL, 6-8 DL, 6-8 LB's, 6-8 DB's all got plenty of playing time throughout the year at diffferent points. Reiff is not leaving school either. Plenty of Depth

Iowa is performing as forecasted for the year. We're bowl eligible again (12 straight years). I sure hope you have to eat crow over the next 4-5 years when we win another BCS. Game. Iowa is not trending downward.

It helps the stat if anything- shows how tough our bowl draws have been

Iowa is not trending downward

Iowa is 14-6 straight up in our last 20 games favored by 8+ points. this site is pretty cool when it comes to ATS stats: College Football Betting, Handicapping Stats, Live NCAA Football Odds
