Highest paid coach in Big Ten

You do realize that Ohio and Pennsylvania actually produce players instate right? They are consistently top 5 states for recruits. Some of our best players were not even looked at by OSU.

You realize that Nebraska has had success in the middle of no where right? What I said has nothing to do with players anyways.
 
You realize Iowa was better than Nebraska last year right?

Oh you got me. That wasn't the point of that post. You failed to follow. What I got from your reply to me was that because Iowa doesn't turn out players, Iowa can't have great seasons year after year like OSU or PSU because of population of the state. I'm telling you Iowa is bigger then Nebraska yet Nebraska has had some great years in the past and they were not 8 years apart.
 
From Iowa salaries publication Now which guys are going to walk away from this kind of money. Do you think thereis a big demand for assistant coaches from 7-5 team?

That's awesome Oldfan...hopefully this staff doesn't get any bonuses this year. I know when my performance is .500 I don't expect to get one.
 
OMG name a coach that has accomplished as much with as little?

Who's that guy at Northwestern again?

I'm not calling for KF head, yet. But, I'm not sure about him doing more with less anymore? That argument is tired.

We have pretty nice facilities, good fan base and national recognition and exposure. Every analyst on TV sings the praise for KF.. this isn't exactly doing more with less.... could be this is turning towards under achievement?

Im saying our coaching staff is the right fit, and asking for someone else could be a disaster. Saying Joe Pa and Tressel deserve more money is a joke. They have 4 and 5 star players begging for a scholarship. Ferentz does more with less than virtually anyone in the country.
 
Listen to yourself H8IAST8...so having 3 basically .500 seasons the last 6 seasons is doing more with virtually less? That class last year was a Top 10 recruiting class as Sr.

Really? Didnt we finish ahead of NW in the Big Ten? And this season is unexceptable to a lot of you??? NW fan is probably thrilled that they are going to another bowl game, and Iowa fan is calling for the coaches head. I cant remember the last year NW was ranked higher or went to a better bowl game than Iowa.
 
Most of us aren't calling for his head but they need to PULL THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ARSES!

That is debatable whether or not KF does more with less. I never said that I want him to leave becasue I agree it could be a disaster. Just don't believe that he deserves to be the highest paid in the big10.

I just think the Coaches at OSU, PSU, Texas, Florida, etc get more credit than they deserve considering the talent they get year in and year out.
 
Pay me 318k per year and I will mix it up a little more on Offense! KOK you have not called a good game since god I do not know when! Hey let me show you the door!
 
I am sick of this kind of post. KF and his staff did not lose this game. Lack of execution lost this game. Would you feel better if KF made $800,000/year, would you expect less?

I am as critical of the O and D schemes as anybody, but KF's salary is just fans looking for a reason. Did you question his salary last year?


Listen, Ferentz is a very good coach and I don't want him to leave.

But to blame this mess on execution? Just who the heck is responsible for that? Isn't it strange how the great coaches just get lucky and have teams that happen to "execute" well. ;)

Guess I'll be the coach, I'll tell them to score a touchdown every play. If they don't it's not my fault, they just didn't execute...
