If he goes or even thinks of going, I am not going to worry about it. I have much more to worry about than whether a an average coach goes elsewhere... Why would he leave Iowa? He is king and has all the power with his lifetime contract. The AD nor the University can do nothing about what he...

Did the coaches run him off with particular policies or treatment or did he just leave??? Either way, Iowa appears to lose a lot of good players...

Iowa is very dependent on Basabe this year. Iowa needs Basabe to play at least at a similar level to last year. At least it appears that Fran has recognized a major problem for Basabe. By B1G conference play Basabe should be playing at a higher level, which is exactly when Iowa needs him the...

Remember not too many years ago when this game would have included to top 25 programs... Fran has his work cut out for him...but he is off to a good start.

People like to use statistics to "prove" their point but you can make statistics mean anything you want unless very strict guidelines and limits are attached to the statistics...

Just imagine what Lickliter would have done to this kid...

Ferentz could be a very good coach with some changes and that is all Iowa fans are asking---that he adapt to the game, hire different coaches when one is not functioning, change schemes DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

His health dictates that he retire, he simply cannot function at 100% to to the job he is paid to do. It is time for Iowa to move on...replacing the offensive coordinator wouldn't be such a bad idea either.

So we are a top 25 program that typically wins 7 games a year and goes to a podunk bowl...Iowa is still very ultra conservative, plays not to lose, takes no chances, is pure vanilla and is about .500 in the B1G. Wonder where Iowa would fall in that list if Ferentz and staff could beat the...

Had Iowa gone 9-3 or better Coker would have been first team...they tend to give players off the better teams preference and (or) more spots. He wasn't dominating whatsoever in games against strong opponents. He tended to do his best against the worst teams, which most running backs will...

All it means is that OSU becomes even better and more dominant than they were before their scandal. So cheating did not hurt OSU at all. They get caught, get their hand slapped, their conservative coach resigns, and they turn around and hire one of the best coaches in the country who will simply...

Kirk Ferentz owns Barta and the University of Iowa with his present contract. Iowa has no ability to buy out Ferentz's contract EVEN IF they wanted to. Ferentz will do with the Iowa football program whatever he wants and there is nothing anyone can do about it. He can take the program to the...

Next year we will have the same exact staff who calls the same exact plays who plays the same exact defense who plays not lose, will take no risks, and plays ultra conservative. Why would anyone think next season will be any better than this year. They will lose all or almost all games on the...

"Also doesn't help when your offense doesn't convert 3rd downs and stay on the field. (kok reference:-0)' Or when your defense cannot stop third and longs but let a team go the length of the field. That wouldn't hurt either.

"Kirk, being from Maine has fresh lobster flown in I guess." He can certainly afford it can't he... ;o) Losing games by only so many points does not mean much; how about winning games by only so much? The same difference. If you have a team that plays it close to the vest every game and...

Too risky....much much too risky.

Just think if Ferentz went out and hired stellar defensive and offensive coordinators. Of course he would tie their hands and not allow them to do anything...risky, much to risky...If they were turned loose, Iowa might have some sizzle... Ferentz does not allow sizzle at Iowa...only...

Norm will remain as defensive coordinator as long as he wants. Ferentz will even carry him to Kinnick if need be. You don't ask or demand best friends to retire let alone replace them. Loyalties and friendships outweigh the Iowa football program and will as long as Ferentz is coach...

Iowa fans had better hope that Illinois hires another failure as a coach. If they get it right, Illinois can be a powerhouse putting another nail into Iowa's coffin as a player in the B1G. While other teams try to improve, Iowa remains the same...change, too risky....much too risky...

Just reinforces the fact that Ferentz will never beat OSU...between how OSU has owned Iowa since the two have been playing in the B1G and a new dynamic coach with a dynamic defensive coach and Ferentz's play not to lose attitude, OSU is about to enter an entire new era of kicking Iowa around...
