Bob Stoops

What is surviving this, still getting paid and still being the head coach although recruiting suffers and the team falls to the bottom quarter of the B10 until he is asked to leave. While I totally disagree with it; this is the end of Iowa football as you know it, and that isn't a good thing

IMHO there will be many other P5 schools that have similar players that will be coming out with similar stories. You know there will be a lot of former players with axes to grind with how their careers may have ended that will be coming out to join the chorus of unjust treatment. Iowa doesn't have the only staff that pushed players to the limits and sometimes maybe a bit too far. We can't be the only ones.

Since this won't end until they burn it to the ground, and for some reason the world caves to the cancel culture instead of looking at people as true individuals and not by the color of their skin I'm going to call it now that Ferentz has coached his last game at Iowa.

What are the chances not that he has the time of getting the myth the man the legend that wants to be at Iowa all along; Bob Stoops for a quick 5-10 years. Really only way I see this ending with a positive outcome. Our name is garbage for recruiting now. I know, if I was another staff, I'd be dropping this point whenever I was recruiting for the same player as Iowa; it doesn't matter if it is all untrue. Perception is reality and it is going to get ugly fast.

Iowa's name in recruiting is pretty good actually. As for Stoops, Iowa would've performed better with him had he got the job in 1999. And if somehow he got the job this year or next, Iowa would be good for one extra win per year with him at the helm as he wouldn't cost us games because he had to send a petty message to a Fant or a Willies or a Rugamba or Banks or etc etc etc

KF a will survive this, the question is does he want to survive this. That’s the question! I think he does and will be committed to be better! Gonna be lots of tears this season when he is interviewed this season and they will be genuine because he is a guy who cares deeply for this program! I firmly believe What’s going on right now is crushing this mans heart.

Nailed it. The question if is he wants to plow thru this. He has the choice if he wants to retire now so he has options to weigh. He may want to stay around to try to correct this for potential future at Iowa. If Brian wasn't in the mix and effected he may have said screw it and retire.

While that may be true, the fact is that as the longest tenured coach in the nation, KF is far and away the biggest target.
