I am almost glad we lost this one....

For those who think iowa is going to win 10 games and compete for a big ten title each year, its just not realistic. This program is built to compete for a conference title maybe once or twice in a span of 5-6 years. Iowa doesn't have the type of recruiting advantages and ability to reload that florida and ohio state have.QUOTE]

But lincoln, madison, boise, wherever the heck missery plays, and other similar situations can?????? How long will this be the excuse???

Those schools win 10 games and conference titles every year? Are you serious clark?

Plus, it would be nice to have Iowa guys on the staff.

Yes, there is some truth to this. But would Barta agree. Frankly, probably so. The football program is a cash cow and runs the athletic department obviously. I guess it is what it is. But do we have to pay a coach almost $4million to get to this point?

Yes. I don't believe there's anyone out there who'd have won more games in the last ten years as KF has.

BB seems to be doing it at wisconsin

He's competing for national titles? interesting....i mustve missed those years

 

[dekhawks]

Yes, I never buy the bs that Iowa doesn't have the recruiting base. So your telling me Boise, Idaho is better than Iowa City?

They have all come closer to a NC or are farther along that path than Iowa is.

Explain

Take out Boise and I bet Iowa has a similar record and similar BCS Bowl appearances to the other 3 over the past 10 years

And better than Missouri

Who are you looking for who'd be an improvement?

Those schools each have head coaches that play to win, rather than play not to lose. Thats the difference.

How many more BCS wins does Nebraska, Wisconsin, Boise, and Missouri each have than Iowa does?
