Fry's Forecast Fizzled: KF Confirms He Will Be Back in '26.

[Dadman]

James Franklin is the most sensible guess.....

Now that’s funny ! The entire Hawkeye Nation just fell to the ground with an “injury”!

How convenient that you never say a name. Clearly there's no secret deal in the works so it's no more valid than other speculation at this point.

Clearly.

Fry said from the get go he was not going to reveal his sources or reveal the target coach's name. He does not have much history of claiming insider information, and I don't believe he just made this whole thing up. But, the lack of any corroboration to the story tells me that Fry's insiders were blowing hot air up Fry's ass or exaggerating the truth. Not the first time a hot rumor turned out to be a nothingburger.

I can't tell if the discussion of KF leaving to take the PSU job is serious or not. If it is, wow, just wow. That is short bus material. If it was a joke, make it funnier.

It made me chuckle.

 

[Hawke]

It made me chuckle.

It was entertaining.

Fitz said that he talked to 8 schools and chose Michigan State. I have no idea who those schools were and the "quality" of those offers but it sounds like he did have some options. Could be he chose to stay in the B1G where he has familiarity.

The other 7 were IL High Schools

Maybe Campbell was the mystery candidate? He was always my long-shot guy I hoped Beth would make a run at, because in many ways I think he is a younger, slightly more modern version of Kirk.

Always seemed like a long-shot for Iowa, but I think we are learning he had reached his limit with Pollard and may have been leaving soon whether Penn State opened up or not. Maybe his agent had planted a seed with people associated with Iowa, just in case Kirk was thinking of hanging it up.

Just spit-ballin' here, trying to get a little more mileage out of the grassy knoll theory.

 

[Fryowa]

Maybe Campbell was the mystery candidate?

Nope.

 

[SwirlinLingerie]

Nope.

Unless you are in too deep and now need to throw us off.

I'm going with Fry said it was gonna be Campbell until proven otherwise.

You can go with that if you want.
