I would be more worried about retaining the guys on campus now. There is a lot of returning talent, especially on D. If Iowa gets a good hire, and announces it early (like this weekend) and gives that guy a chance to meet with the players while they are on campus and still in team/bowl mode...

First, I don't accept the premise they cannot get two teams in. Unless Utah loses to a hapless Kansas squad this weekend, they will finish the season no worse than 11th and probably higher once conference championship games play out. They likely won't play in the title game, so they finish...

He probably has a better chance at the playoffs in Lames. All you have to do is win that joke of a patchwork quilt conference. Just be a little bit better than a team from Arizona. How hard could that be?

To answer the question, I want Matt Campbell, Zac Taylor, Pat Fitzgerald, or some HC at a Group of 5 school that I have never heard of who won 10 games this year. In that order.

Giggling. Would you rather discuss whether Wallace should be the next coach? :) In all seriousness, Beth better do better than elevating the special teams coach. This is Iowa. We should be able to attract a proven winner as a HC.

But, my whole point is that if Beth is doing what Fry is saying, KF assuredly knows that. What do you think he would say, "Good luck, Beth, but if you don't land Brian Kelly, I'll give you another year!" Come on.

Incoming freshman classes don't mean what they used to, and they won't replace starters. I agree that KF is leaving Iowa football much stronger than when he took over. The cupboard was bare in 1999. The program is very strong today. That said, if this is an outside hire, which it sounds like...

Again, everything has its season. Not everyone gets to go out like Tom Osborne. Paterno, Bowden, Beamer, even our beloved Coach Fry, stayed too long. This season is a really KF Iowa sort of a season. Be a good one to end on for KF. Plus, there is a lot of rebuilding to be done given...

He's not just going to sit by and wait to see if they find a better coach to replace him. That type of limbo does not exist in this scenario. If they are searching for a new coach, it is with his knowledge. Next year has been decided.

If you are happily married, you don't say, "hey, if I can get with the really hot, young gal at the office, I would leave my wife. If not, I will just stay with my wife." You already have a wandering eye. It will keep wandering. The marriage is over.

I had the same thought. That said, KF fucking cries after just about every game. Fry has been on this Board long enough that I don't believe he is just making this shit up. He doesn't generally claim to be an insider or have a lot of insider information. So, I tend to lean towards believing...

Woods? Um, the special teams cost us two games this season. Both of our kicking specialists regressed this season. KW is the greatest of all time, but that is not coaching, that is god given talent. I could be just as good a coach in teaching KW how to return a punt. No thanks on Woods. Not...

If what is happening is as Fry is reporting, there is no way this does not get back to KF. It would already be in KF's knowledge. I mean, if some nobody like Fry is reporting this on a message board, you don't think that KF's agent or others in his orbit would not tell him about it? And...

I doubt the contract is actually set up that way. I doubt he has a duty to mitigate, but the contract likely has an offset provision that says that if he does get another job that would offset some of the buy out. Even if he had an actual duty to mitigate the buy out, all he has to do is send...

I'd be fine with that and there is a lot of good things about that hire. He would be a fool not to take it. Cannot imagine Fitz gets a better job opportunity than Iowa. That said, he would not be the ilk of coach that would require me, as the AD, to force KF out the door when he does not want...

Oh my god, no. I can't read Fry's rants about Wallace again. Fry hates him. Leave it there!!!!!

Understood. And I get it. Everyone is human and pretty much everyone has a price. Its hard to fault any player or coach from leaving a gig if someone else will pay them a lot more money and/or give you a better chance to succeed. You go where you are most valued. Similarly, here, if a...

It seems like the most likely record at the end of the season is 8-5. Win out and lose the BOWL, or stub our toe at Nebbie and win a non-Championship BOWL against a lesser opponent with more opt outs than us. With respect, you don't push out the all-time winningest coach in school and...

Well, this thread turned real dark. You fuckers know way too much about each others' lives. I would lock this thread and we can all move onto something about Iowa football again.
