You raise some wonderful points and very well-stated message. While I do think it is time to move on to a different coach after 16 seasons, I respect your opinion and agree with most of what you said. Kudos for a well thought-out message ... Kudos to being a Hawk fan for 60 years ...

Kirk, the person, is a great man. He has done a lot for Iowa football, for the university, and for the community. I have met Kirk on several occasions and you won't find a more personable individual. That's why it's hard to root against him but it's simply a time for a changing of the guard...

I get that Frost has the ties to Nebraska ... that being said, he has only been OC at Oregon for 1 season and before that he was WR coach ... and he also spent some time at UNI ... Yes, Oregon is flashy on offense but that system was put into place by Kelly before he left to coach in the NFL. I...

Guessing all 3 will happen ... Although from a football program perspective, you would be crazy to not make SOME type of change (i.e. Davis "retiring"). That will be a pretty tough sell to put the same product on the field next year ... My two cents ... they at least need to send Davis off in...

I have always wondered if we have any big donors who would actually have a voice to be heard. I know the Krause family but beyond that I am in the dark as to how many of them there truly are and do they ever voice their opinion to Barta.With as much money that the program generates from tv...

I think the OP raises some good points. It is true that the Hawk fan devotion in many of us will keep coming back to Kinnick no matter the product on the field. I parted way with my season tickets last year because I just couldn't justify the time or financial commitment. I don't fault fans...

1. Stoops (holding out hope that maybe on his bucket list is to someday coach the Hawks and maybe he would simply be ready for a change after 16 years at OU). 2. Beliema (because if his ties and his proven success as a recruiter and head coach). He makes pretty good bank at Arkansas so it would...

Holy cow, can you imagine the pressure on the next coach at Nebby? They just fired a guy who won 9 games per season. With as much balance as there is now in college football it will be hard for the new coach to exceed 9 wins on a regular basis. I was not a fan of Bo but I thought he did a...

Holy cow... This kid is a house! Nice pick up. Will be nice to have a run stopper in the middle!

After a 7-5 schedule with one of the easiest schedules in my 35 years of being a Hawk fan, no ... No faith whatsoever. This was Kirk's year to show he still had something left in the tank... The tank is now dry.

Beliema is not coming to Iowa. That would be like leaving the head chef job at a 5 star restaurant to be the head fry cook at McDonalds.

7-5 record but a 4-8 performance. We would be a bottom feeder in the SEC.

This year did it for me. Finishing 7-5 with this schedule, losing to ISU, and not beating any team with a better than .500 record ... Well... Good luck Iowa marketing department trying to sell that camero with no engine.

Next year is going to be ugly.... On MANY fronts.

I don't think it was a knock. The Iowa team they beat on Saturday is not very good.

Well said. The swagger is gone. Some wonderful memories during my 10 years with season tickets (stopped getting them last year). It's disheartening to see what the program has become. Our fans deserve more.

Well said. You took the words right out of my mouth. I, too, have been a Hawk fan... Going on 35 years ... And the this season is the first time I truly realized how apathetic I have become. I gave up my season tickets last year ... The year prior I only attended one game. I just can't make...

Anything is possible with the right coach. Look at Baylor, KState, Oregon, Okie State, TCU ... You bring in the right guy who knows how to recruit then you win at Iowa and you can win on a more regular basis then what we have accepted as the norm. Sure, our population base is small. But so...

Spot on post. Agree with everything you mentioned. How Weismann is our best option at running back is a head scratcher. And how Vandy is our best option at punt return ... Again a head scratcher. Recruiting is the name of the game. And we simply aren't getting it done on the recruiting front. We...

If people want a change... Stop going to the games. Hate to suggest that but that is the reality. As long as Kinnick pulls in 60,000 + fans Fort Ferentz will continue. I gave up my season tickets last year... After 10 seasons. Couldn't justify the financial commitment or time any longer. Sadly...
