While not significantly different what is different is the fact Fry's team played 1 less game per year and he rarely if ever played the powder puff football teams the Hawks play now. Don't just look at records. YOu have to break things down further.
As I've said before, I can't prove what I'm about to type, but if Fry had 12 regular season games and played a much easier schedule like KF does now, my strong belief is Fry's overall record at Iowa would be approximately 160-72 for a 69% win percent.
Likewise, if KF only coached 11 regular season games and played the tougher schedule Fry's teams usually played, based on my unscientific calculations, KF's overall record at Iowa would stand at about 100-99 or 50% win percentage. Just to make KF's overall record look better, I purposely kept a few more wins for him and a few less losses for him.
Playing an 11 game schedule, Fry won 8 games 11 out of 20 years.
Playing mostly a 12 game schedule, KF won 8 games 7 out of 16 times so far. KF will need to win 8 games per year the next four years to equal that and that's playing an extra cup cake game every year. This is not likely to happen at this point.
Heck, KF's teams don't play OSU, Michigan or Michigan State each year like Fry had to.
Bottom line, KF is not even a pimple on Fry's a$$ as far as coaching goes.
