I wasn'saying Ferentz should get fired. But when the offense has been consistently terrible and predictable, they don't even consider making a change to O'keefe and when this many players, and especially starting RB's are leaving, some sort of explanation is not that much to ask. If McCall and...

I don't understand how Kirk can make 3 million plus per year, continually underachieve with 7-5 records and losing consistently to the Indiana's, Minnesota's, Iowa State's, and NW's of the world, and have starters leaving the team for unexplained reasons every yr, and he never has to answer for...

When is Ferentz going to have to own up and give an explanation for all that is going on? This program is heading in the wrong direction very quickly and I have had about enough of these "no comment" responses. When you are the head coach of a public university receiving tons of money from...

Pretty much every year I look at the preseason schedule and think wow that is easy, we should be 5-0 no problem. If there is one thing I know about the Hawkeyes, it is that they ALWAYS lose to an inferior team before Big 10 play starts and then they typically lose to 1 or 2 more inferior teams...

Is he coming back to Iowa next year? I wonder if they will move him to D End or D Tackle or something, I've heard he is pretty huge.

Do you think it was the coaches or Vandy that opted to not stretch the field that often? With big, physical receivers like McNutt and Davis, it seems like there should be a minimum of 5-6 balls thrown 30+ yards downfield. More often than not this should result in a catch or an interference...

Iowa's plays per game would probably be about even with everyone else if we decided to actually try to score at the end of the 1st half instead of running the clock out every time. I think we leave points on the field every game and I just do not understand why the coaches continue to do that...

There is a lot of chatter about Stoops going to Ohio St as the Defensive Coordinator. Iowa needs to be proactive for once and announce NOrm's retirement and get Stoops. If there was ever a team that needed some new blood and a fresh approach (like a coach with a little bit of fire that gets...

Apparently this award is 100% for off the field efforts, so good for Norm for his charitable work off the field, I think it would be a great idea for him to spend all of his time doing that and worrying about his health and hang it up from coaching. We need a young coach with some fire that can...

They asked Herbstreit if he thought that Meyer's offense he ran at Florida would work at Ohio St and he said "He will probably feel like he is playing against scout team defenses in the Big 10, I expect that his offesne will be good and probably even dominate." Way to stick up for your...

Who asks Ferentz the questions in these pressers? And could they ask him any easier questions? Is there a "no tough questions" rule? How about asking why we are never ready to stop fake punts, FG's, onside kicks? Or asking why since James was struggling so much with his throws, why not try...

I read this guys other offers are from Jacksonville State and Tulane. While I realize our coaches have found some diamonds in the rough over the years and I think Soup Campbell is our best coach, is this really as good of a WR as we can get at this point, even after the success of a McNutt...

What a magical run that was that year, wish Stanzi would have stayed healthy, who knows what may have been.

That is an awesome idea, but no way it will happen. That would only add fuel to the fire when everyone saw -10's for the coaches ratings every wk. There is a reason we are so bad in close games and so bad against bad teams. That stat of us being 19-9 when favored by double digits since 2006...

I can't help but wonder why so few of our assistants have ever been offered other jobs/promotions to other schools, not even small ones. Seems to be a telling sign. We need some new blood in this program, especially on Defense, because the status quo isn't working and the new style of play is...

“I felt this morning when I woke up that we had a chance to win any of the four or five games on our schedule and we could lose any of the five,â€￾ Ferentz said after Saturday’s loss. “And I still feel the same way, so the season isn’t over.â€￾ This is unacceptable. Everything starts...

"if we go 3 and out." That is the same loser mentality our coaches take for everything. All they can see is the negative of what could happen. How about they consider we are playing the worst defense possibly in America and we are afraid of what happens if they stop us? Every good coach would...

How in the world are we not prepared for the onside kick? Minnesota hadn't stopped our running game the entire day, it seems pretty reasonable that the only way we would lose after they scored would be a pick, a fumble, or an onside kick. Do our coaches think that everyone is as conservative...

1. Can someone send our Kirk and the staff to a clock management school? It is mind boggling how they continually screw up over and over again. Minnesota hadnt done anything to stop us in the first half, and with 1:20 to go and 2 timeouts, we run the clock out. Every Hawk fan in America knew...

If they were so mad at Herman, can anyone tell me why he has 2 passes thrown to him with the game on the line when he has been nothing but awful the whole season? Why in the world is CJ F not in the game to run routes? If he isn't playing because he can't block fine, but when you need 50 yards...
