Do you just pull these stats out of your a$$?!? Canzeri absolutely DID NOT have "114 yds rushing" in the bowl game vs Oklahoma. Seriously, what would it take for you to just go the **** away for good?!?
Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Oklahoma Sooners - Box Score - December 30, 2011 - ESPN
You call people "haters" and call anyone out who doesn't agree with you that every single kid who is recruited, commits or plays for Iowa isn't that great. I agree calling names doesn't solve anything but YOU don't like anyone who doesn't agree with you and you just call them "hater" and go on a rant about how much they hate Ferentz. It gets old, if you want people to be nice to you, maybe you should learn how to relax a little bit.
Red, I agree, it should but again you are one of the most optimistic people on this board that KF will turn things around and that these kids are going to be great. Sometimes it is harder for some people to overcome their own expectations than realize reality. You see optimism, others don't your expectation is that they will turn things around and if they don't you will focus on the good things about the team. Others expectations are different, they don't like the outcome, some grumble, some yell, some flip out and go one never ending rants, day after day.
I think people need to realize that KF isn't happen with the state of the program. Yes, he has a big contract but he is and will always be a competitor. But he isn't going to panic or call people out by names, he never has! He is the king of coach speak but he clearly knows what happened this year can't happen again.
the problem is the recruiting HAS improved, coaching change were made, these were all needed
in the improved recruiting Iowa is no longer getting 12-14 "2*" recruits and maybe 1-2 4* commits
in the last 3 years again Iowa has landed
15 "4* recruits
41 "3*" recruits
and just 15 "2*' recruit for 5 "2*" recruits per year of which 3 have been kickers
even this year Iowas has verbals from JUST 2 "2*" RECRUITS. in a LS who is walking on and Boetger a 2* on ESPN BUT was upgraded to a 3* on rivals
the rest are 3* players with Young a 4* by Max Preps who has ben around far longer than either scout or rivals, and probably longer than ESPN
ESPN LISTS Wisnieski as a 4*, now its time for these players to develope and get experience just as many did this year, don't believe me just look at the depth chart to see how many young people played and then check their ranking out of HS
Ballard was a 4* TE who switched to DE and ended up switching between DE/DT and got Drafted
Clayborn was 4* DE who ended up being drafted neither really did much til the middle of their sophamore year
Klug was a 2* LB who switched to the DL and had a very good career, this was a problem with last year and this year, not enough quality depth and not enough experience.
but you look at it thru the debbie downers or negative nancy glasses all you want, but the future is no as bad as some want it to be so they can get their wsish of KF getting fired to get a YOUNGER COACH

Recruiting has improved in '10 and '11, this year is better but not as good in my opinion. You can keep quoting stars and stats but they have to come in and contribute before any of it matters. I can look at this staff and team however I want because I am an adult, but as an adult I realize that you are entitled to your opinion as well. You on the other than seem to think that calling names like "debbie downer" or "negative nancy" is appropriate just because I don't agree with you.
I never said that I wanted a younger coach, no one has, they just want a coach who is willing to adapt. Ferentz is married to his style of game. A lot of people don't like his style of play so when it doesn't work, yeah they load on the critizism.
Again tell me how you don't call names and respect other's opinions when you clearly argue with everyone who doesn't agree with you and call them haters and crap like that.

How can that not prompt an investigation?? (Kenney's Dad being hired?) The NCAA will probably take a look at it 4-5 years from now.
3 out of the 4 - 4* guys are from Indiana. Probably have parents or relatives who are alumni or something, I don't know.
I think jumping to a conclusion that the NCAA needs to investigate Indiana because they have 4-4* guys seems a bit dramatic.

Aw Jeez. about 30 years ago I heard a guy make that statement, regarding our high school football team. (It was very true) Think this is the first time I've heard it since. Was fun to hear it again.
Speak for yourself; I rather enjoy redhawk's posts since they usually contain facts, rather than the insults you seem fascinated with. (admittedly, you are right about Canzeri vs OK...had far fewer yards than Redhawk claimed.)

Man, if coach would have put me in the 4th quarter, we'd be state champs.
I bet I could throw a football over that mountain.
I agree name calling is pointless but at the same time ol'Red needs to take a chill pill, anyone who doesn't agree with him or questions Ferentz he is calling them "haters" and goes off on a page long rant and lists off stats, star ratings and measureables of every player in Iowa history.
I like Red, he is a good dude but he isn't innocent either.
A lot of people don't have patience. I think Garmon was the prime example, yes he was highly recruited but he didn't stand a chance with the expectations people put on that kid.

Proof Herbacide doesn't stoop to name calling.
Well that is what Freddie boy kind of did with transfers and he turned out ok. I like the way Fran is doing it but either way can work, just depends on each team.
