Gary Barta

[QuadCityHawkeye]

I said the extension was dumb due to the timing of it but now it looks utterly laughable.

Barta is a horrible AD and Ferentz got paid off one season. Just stupid.

Kirk is a swell guy

 

[mrolympia]

when's the last time he hasn't got a raise of one good season?

 

[hawkinn3]

Time for 4 bad years then hopefully another rebuild.

 

[Garandx]

It was stupid cuz he excels when his seat is hot . Turn off the heat and this is what you get.

He was never going to leave Iowa . . . for what the NFL? . . . hell if Saban and and Spurrier can't hack it you think Kirk can?????????? LOL

He knows his limitations and all the threats were bluffs

Thanks for keeping us the laughing stock of college football Barta....us fans love sucking our own wee wee every time you give that junky coach a raise and extension. He must tongue a good keyster hole.

Nailed it. Ferentz was never serious about the NFL he was just pissed at Bowlsby for the Orange Bowl expenses. That was a FU move to the AD and it worked.

If he had left Iowa for the NFL he would've lasted as long as Saban. AND HE WOULDN'T have gotten a 34 million dollar guarantee.

Two seasons max and then off to toledo state to be a line coach.

I've never known anyone to live such a charmed life. Now my fear is after KF we will be stuck with Brian and go on a 2 decade fail streak like the 60s/70s

Hopefully his own behind hole.

Ferentz wasn't the best version of himself today. But overall, he's been a solid coach for the U of I and we're lucky to have him.

For the last 18 years, we could have easily been an Inidiana, Illinois or Purdue. We should really try and keep that perspective.

And putting a hit out on whomever thought it was a good idea to schedule NDSU

The flip side is Dollar Bob could've got Stoops

I just pumped out some tears realizing we are now the program scared of FCS. Anyone remember the days of "bullies of the big ten"??

Or we could have been Michigan State for the last decade.
