Ferentz, however, does lead the nation in one category: worst coaching record in close losses. Since 2005, no other automatic qualifying BCS coach does it worse than Ferentz in games decided by eight points or less. Saturday's three-point loss to Ohio State dropped Ferentz to 11-18 in games decided by eight points or less.
Well our terrific two minute offense doesn't help at all. With a senior B, good line, good and experienced TE's, WR's and Rbs, how can we be so terrible at the two minute drill? Every time we run it looks like we are just in a complete panic and have no plan what so ever.
As harsh as it is, it's the truth. Very aggrivating. I hate watching this over and over and over and over and over again. I included Indiana in one of those "overs".

I've long felt we don't have one. We've never seen it. I'd like Iowa's pit bull sports scribes to sink their teeth into KF about this at tomorrow's presser. If they have any courage to challenge the good captain, that could be an interesting session.
Why do they pick 2005 as their starting point? Is it because from 2002 - 2004 we were something like 10-1 in games decided by 7 points or less and that wouldn't fit the narrative they want to create in the story?!
I guess KF doesn't get credit for those years but deserves the blame for the cherry-picked time period in this article?
Look at KF's body of work and comments from various experts that know something about coaching and people should realize that we have the right man as our head FB coach. Do you think the NFL owners and GM's would give him a second look if he was as mediocre as some Hawk fans are claiming?
Could it be any more obvious that we need a new OC and that Ferentz needs to delegate playcalling to him?
Brutal Truth is slapping you upside the head, Kirk. Pay attention to it.
Could we also get someone to call the defense while Norm is out!
Are you saying a Paul Crisp type?
