2013: Do or Die for Ferentz

[oroko]

Losing record next year=gone.

He will still be Po' Pimpin' long after 2013.

Actually I think it's a matter of his youngest son being at Iowa as the biggest factor. Iowa can't afford to buy him out NUMERO UNO and he's going to stay there so his youngest son gets to start at a D1 program. He's a solid family guy. I think all that aside he has an ego whether you see it in a presser or not. He is going to be hungry to do better next year and the year after. BUT the program is clearly falling from the skies..literally.

How is this literally true? Please explain.

Well once you get right down to it, every single post ever made on any Internet messageboard anywhere is "worthless" by your standards. I have never understood what attracts idiots like you to places like this. The entire reason they were created were so people can speculate about things and generally p*ss and moan. And then morons like you come around and criticize people for doing exactly what the site was created for in the first place. If you're so damn sick about reading these types of threads then GTFO. You will not be missed.

I'd miss eyekwah. He is generally a good poster.

I think next year will be an improving year, but sucky record. Depending on this offseason defections, KF will have us at 10 or 11 wins and in the Top 10 at some point and CC game for 2014 (or close) with promises of 2015 to be that magical, top 5, NC chasing season.

2015 and 2016 will be set up as historic. But as CAARHawk has told us a gazillion times, the tank will start to look pretty empty and KF will "bail" on us and go out on his terms at the top of his popularity...that may or may not include a provision for son BF to take the helm (which will obviously rightfully so, incite HN and fan controversy).

Whether GD is still here or not is a completely different story, with similar results either way.

I'm not sure that we will reach the epic greatness of which you speak, but I generally think your scenario plays out--good in 2014 and 2015 and then KF leaves.

It stinks that we are in the position that we are in right now, but it is a sunk cost and no new coach would be able to change what has already occured.

There is nothing sexy about this program anymore. No leadership & poor coaching decisions. This program has been set back 2 maybe 3 years. The only solution is for KF to change his ways. I and highly doubt he will change.
