Opinion | It’s time for Iowa football to change

Enough is enough. The University of Iowa is a school that prides itself on its football team. As of late, there hasn’t been much to be proud of. The script has been the same for the past several years: get a winning record, play in a bowl game, and that’s it. That simply isn’t going...

Winning at around .600 level is by definition NOT Mediocre!!

The reporter is a 2nd year journalism major. Give him a few years and he will figure out Iowa football. Maybe. I have been watching for 50 years and I am not sure I have it figured out yet.

The question is - How much does that piece reflect the student body? Possibly it does a lot. In any event this needed to be said whether you agree or not. We have put up some good records but an inept offense is not Iowa football.

Wow!

I see the writer plucked the low hanging fruit of Curt Cignetti at Indiana starting 10-0 in his first year as an example. He also conveniently omitted (or more likely didn't bother to research) that this is an extremely rare occurrence, especially at a non-blue blood school.

It will be interesting to see the blow-back to this piece from UI students and fans.

On the contrary . History shows that inept offense IS Iowa football
