As long as the current president is still at Iowa. They both knew each other prior to Harreld taking the position at Iowa. He won't be the one to fire him. Harreld probably wants to leave at some point as I don't think he's well liked with the admin and he's not exactly young. Bottom line is...

I've defended Fran for most of his time here despite the ups and downs. If Iowa doesn't turn it around this season you have to put him on the hot seat for next season saying you have to make the NCAA's. Fran isn't getting fired this season and you can thank Barta for that. Barta should be...

My boss is a Purdue grad and he even said they aren't that good this year. He was surprised it was such an easy win.

Barta needs to go first. Does anyone really trust him hiring another basketball coach?

Wisconsin hurts for the conference record. The committee will look at that before non-conference.

Not sure why they couldn't get a MAC, Summit, or WAC school for at least one of those games. There are some teams Iowa has scheduled in the past that are top 250 and that's much better than anything 300 or lower obviously. There are 353 teams in Division I. I get you can't just wave a wand...

Iowa's SOS is going to take a massive hit. Western Carolina is 309 in Ken Pom, Savannah State is 344, and Bryant is 338. Iowa would be better off losing to a top 150 team once than any of these wins. This is why losing that Wisconsin game hurts so much. These next three games are worthless...

With the contract extension and buyout Fran isn't going anywhere for 2 seasons counting this one. Especially with his son coming in next season. Like it or not Fran isn't going anywhere soon and I highly doubt Barta gets fired before that either. We are stuck and just have to hope things turn...

Timeout use and last possession shots are the two things that drive me nuts about Fran. Both have been a problem his entire tenure here.

People were trying to say "it's at Michigan State we never win there". So what? Why can't things be different this far into Fran's year. Iowa was garbage last season and has collapsed in "good" years. I'm starting to lose my patience with this staff. There is talent here but for some reason...

Pitt is 112 in Kem Pom now. I think they were 120 when Iowa played them.

Fran got a good one in Bryce Cartwright. Unreal he hasn't been able to since.

I've always heard how delusional they are but I actually got to experience it on Twitter yesterday. Holy cow, what a fragile fan base that is 100% cult like. Some dope posted a 1999 video of Crouch trucking an Iowa defender and I responded by stating how many head coaches Nebraska has had...

The coaches aren't doing any favors with Stanley when Fant isn't out there. Stanley is struggling now and needs every weapons available out there on offense. Fant wasn't even on the field a lot so the defense didn't take him out of the plays. Max Cooper isn't the weapon they needed on that...

I really don't know if it matters who is the OC as long as the HC is Kirk Ferentz. We've all seen this movie before. KOK, Greg Davis, and now Brian Ferentz. Everyone is upset with the play calling and most had issues with all 3 names mentioned at times. Kirk controls the offense. Things...

They were outcoached against Wisconsin as well. The Penn State game was largely on Stanley. The coaches were not to blame there. 2 losses you can attribute to coaching in some way. 2 really bad ones at that.

That's terrible. 18-22. This team isn't a developmental program anymore. That's a myth to hide mediocrity. Iowa had that run from 2002-2004 and after that it's largely been what it is. Just an average program overall.

If Iowa downs that punt it's very likely that Northwestern doesn't score a TD on that long run. Iowa's special teams did no favors Saturday. Poor punts, a missed FG, and botching a punt inside the 20 all contributed to the loss. The defense was pretty bad in the second half on 3rd downs but...

I bet he blows up against Illinois. They are downright awful on defense. Hard to say that Fant will skip the bowl game. He does a good job hiding if he's really pissed off about the situation. Don't think he's the type that would turn his back on the team and sit out a bowl game but who...

Kirk isn't getting fired unless he gets arrested for something major. He will decide when he goes. Barta is the one who should have been fired years ago. His extensions alone should be cause for that.
