I understand all too well that KF is not a master of communication, but as HC he owes it to his team to let them know his plans as to his final season as HC. Since he has made no public overture of his plans, and the fact that many freshman are red-shirted their first year, it is entirely...

How can you possibly explain the situation where QB Nate Stanley plays at far below a Division 1 (FBS) level, game after game, but never sits out a series, yet TE Noah Fant is riding pine when he clearly has the ability to perform at an All-American level? No need to think too hard about it...

If BF cares about Iowa football and his own future, he needs to tender his resignation at the end of the season. There is no way he is going to learn how to be a good OC under his dad's inflexible coaching mentality, sadly the game has passed KF by. I have no explanation as to what happened in...

Congratulations are in order for coach Kirk Ferentz, who has just been offered a perennial invitation to the Play Not To Lose Bowl. The PNTLB committee members have been so impressed with coach Ferentz's risk averse coaching skills that they have reserved a permanent spot for him, whatever team...

I will not attempt to define it, just like any other failed hybrid experiment it needs to be disposed of as soon as possible before it can do any more harm, it merits no further analysis or consideration. JR is the master of it, he knows what strings to pull and he's playing KF like a cheap...

Well, not quite, but certainly more entertaining. Cast of Characters: KF as Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson's lines, as dramatically portrayed by Charles Barkley?) Jon Miller as Lt. Caffee as portrayed by Jon Gruden? Substitute the following words in place of the movie words: Guns => Guts...

The disconnect for me is offering a guy with limited vision of how the game is currently played and a reputation for stubbornly resisting change, a 10 year contract with absolutely no meaningful performance criteria. Look, I don't want change for just change sake, there needs to be significant...

It really does not matter what the question is, KF's stock answer is he's the coach and you're no expert to question him about anything. Actually Gary D. provides more answers than Kirk does, maybe he should just do the program himself, it would be less frustrating for everyone looking for a...

The signed Iowa football contract can be found at the following link: http://archive.hawkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ferentzcontract.pdf I have no illusions that KF would ever be terminated for cause, that's not going to happen. However, without any substantive performance based...

If you were a 3 or 4 star offensive player (QB or WR) being recruited by Iowa and you asked KF to describe his offensive philosophy and how you might fit into it, how would KF respond? My contention is that it would not matter how KF responds, all anyone needs to see is Iowa's play over the...

Plain and simple, CONFIDENCE, not only at the player/team level but also within the coaching staff. If anything, I believe both players and coaches are over-thinking what they need to do and by thinking too much, they are diminishing their ability to perform. For those of you that are...

Maybe it's just me but what I see as a shortcoming this year is indecisiveness in pressure situations. I do not pretend to know anything about KF's strengths as a game manager; it appears to me that he delegates most of that to his coordinators. However, when the pressure is on, I believe he...
