Very sadly, a normal football fan has to admit this is looking like it's true. Who'd want to be an OC at a power 5 school and have the head coach who's philosophy is archaic and who controls your every move?
Are you surprised Alabama already has an agreement for a new coach. The OC job at Iowa is not a premium job at this point. What relevant OC would take this role while KF is the head coach?
Who the frick said push out defensive players? Get rid of the dead wood from the offense and bring in better talent. In other words, in their year end exit interview let some people know they need to go into the transfer portal. It's not that difficult a concept.
Sure, feelings may get hurt...
That's part of it. But it's recruiting better players as well. See the recruiting coordinator for that. Oh yea, Kirk Ferentz's son-in-law is in that role. We know how relatives of KF on Iowa's staff have worked out don't we?
Just hire a friggin OC and get it over with Ferentz. Those with common sense know you're not looking for a home run hire, but someone who'll do as you say.
For the heck of it I looked at the previous 10 year win/loss records before Fry and the 10 years before Ferentz.
10 years before Fry Iowa was 21-72
10 years before Ferentz Iowa was 66-49
My point is Fry took over a dumpster fire of program and brought it to life. Ferentz didn't inherit near...
The Missouri Tigers played very good defense and offense this year. It is indeed possible to do as you stated.
But as you also said, you're not sure if KF believes this. By the results of the past 25 years, that belief is pretty much warranted.
Exactly. It's not who you fire. It's who you hire to replace the one fired.
Although the jury is still out, Beth Goetz may very well be the best AD at Iowa since Bump Elliott.
Shoot oldhawk, being called an idiot buy those still supporting KF on this fan forum is kind of an honor at this point.
KF can keep telling people to take a step back and remember Iowa won 10 games, but, he should also mention Iowa lost 4 games and was manhandled by the only 3 ranked teams...
