There's probably a 50/50 chance that the players just sucked, regardless of who coaches them. The problem with that is the coaches recruited those players, so they're still at fault.
If they could just score 21 or more every game, they'd win almost all of them, strangely.

And we have objected to the same incompetence before.
Just no. Frentz has never had a championship offense.
Not the Michigan, penn st or ohio st games. You know, the ones that really matter
Iowa was Number 7 in 2002. 34 in 2008. 86 in 2009. 37 in 2004. D was 24 in 2002.
Wow, that has to be among the toughest schedules in the history of Iowa football.
Your beloved Fry once scored nine and twelve respectively vs Michigan and won them both.
They were after the OC from Kingsley Iowa that's out at Washington. But he'd just signed a really lucrative extension to stay out there and he decided he'd stay. (of course Bama folks will spin it as they didn't offer/really want him)
Not sure of your point. If you are cherry picking the Fry offense to validate it was no better than Ferentz offenses than you need alzheimers medication because there is absolutely zero comparison
My point makes too much sense, but there is no point trying to explain it to you because you wouldn't understand. You are the very poster who hit the roof about four years ago when I pointed out that Iowa has averaged more points in the Ferentz era then Hayden's. Points win games, and I don't give a F if Kirk doesn't score them as sexy as Hayden did. When he has to, we have seen Kirk win shootouts. He did it all time in the Stanley era if you (gulp) checked facts. The CJ and Stanzi eras as well. Not so much in the Petras era because he knew we had the defense and special teams to carry the offense. If you want to use recency bias, then yes, he let a couple wins get away in 2022 by playing too close to the vest. But he steals more than he lets get away.
Is it? I rarely think about it. I doubt kids keep up with that stuff. 24/7 news cycle has that as old news until it's in court again. I mean if other schools are negatively recruiting against him bringing it up all the time then perhaps. I haven't heard of any kid saying that but that doesn't mean it's not happening.
Yes, those crossover games (which matter LESS than West division games in terms of getting to the big ten championship game), are outliers in which Iowa MAY need to score more than 21 points to win, but check out these records in the Iowa v PSU series. Many games are won and lost in the teens and low 20s.
