I have not posted in a few months just trying to avoid the negativity that surrounds Iowa football and the summer boredom.
The reason for this post is that I have been a loyal Ferentz supporter, perhaps blindly at times, since forever. I still think he's a good coach and a great person. I appreciate that he will never pull a Saban and cut people or over recruit etc.
However, with that sentiment I believe for the betterment of the Iowa football program Ferentz needs to move on. I know it won't happen. But it has been said numerous times that if you are at a program for more than 10 years you're going to get stale. It happened to KF and with his old staff recruiting suffered. We know it is all about the Jimmy's and Joe's, just look at Bama. He got rid of a few of his coordinators and replaced with younger guys. Still we are starting to see some of his better recruitment classes get into the fold and we are still seeing a bad football team.
I want this team to succeed, I want KF to succeed, but I'm not sure they can happen simultaneously anymore. I think everyone needs a fresh start and that would benefit all.
