D-Line Loaded

Why don't people understand that is is 38 years of the exact same thing? Fry averaged 7.15 Wins per year, and KF has averaged 7.47 wins per year. If you take out the first two years for both of them to establish their programs Fry averaged 7.5 wins per year and Ferentz has averaged 8.1 Wins per year.

When I said "the exact same thing" I was referring to the boring football, not the results.
 
Even that is a double edge sword. (Probably not the term I'm looking for but whatever). It feels like he should win more because of the product he puts on the field. He's way better at that part then what his average wins would suggest. But then he blows so many games because of his management.

We could be less skilled of a team, not blow so many games, and have a 7.5 win average. Or we can have a better team than you would expect an Iowa team to have most years, then blow some games to end up with a 7.5 win average. We are the latter and it's beyond frustrating. But when you really think about it, being the former might actually suck worse.

The former is Hayden, the latter is definitely Kirk.
 
For what it’s worth, I can be on the Ferentz fatigue campaign. The offense and the defense just frustrate me to no end. And I think Hayden was cooler than cool. For me, he’s the king. BUT.... if I’m completely fair and intellectually honest... there’s very little difference between them. I know that’s sacrilegious to the pro Hayden group, and the fire Kirk camp. But it’s basically fair to say.

And it’s also hard to compare them fairly. Kirk plays an extra game every year, and chance for another win. The conference as a whole is more even than in Hayden’s day. Hayden had Ohio State and Michigan almost every year. Times have changed. But, again, from my perspective at least, there strikingly similar.

No I think you miss the point.

Hayden climbed a mountain
Kirk climbed a mole hill

The weakness of you apologists is your inability to see the macro-picture.
