Iowa's Kirk Ferentz says he's too old to understand uniform craze









Maybe Kurt should worry about his boring game plan and 7-5 seasons instead of trying to dress his team like idiots on the field.
 




Im old too and I love our current uniforms but I'm okay with shaking it up every once in a while. It seems crazy that you would get recruits just because they like your uniforms! Gotta love that bling.


I thought this was interesting from the article;
"Ferentz also said that training facilities are also a huge recruiting tool, and takes blame for taking so long to start pushing for facility upgrades at Iowa. But now that Iowa has caught up in terms of facilities, Ferentz is not looking back too much."I'm probably at fault there, because I tend to focus more on people than I do things," Ferentz said Tuesday. "So I'll take the bullet on that one; probably should have been advocating for that longer, further back, because... players are impressed by facilities."
 


I don't intend this to bash KF, but saying you're too old to understand the uniform craze is like saying you're too old to communicate via email.

Times change and if its a craze that's getting recruits and bringing positive attention the program, then do it.
 


KF sounds more and more like joe pa with every passing day. And that disturbs me.
 


So let me get this straight your a father and have raised 3 boys all involved in SPORTS. On top of that your the Head Football Coach at a Major College University that coaches 18 to 23 year olds and your telling me saying you don't understand the uniform craze.. YEAH RIGHT!!!.
 


I get the uniform craze a little bit. But it is over the top. The throwbacks for the Iowa St game were terrible in my opinion. Some of the throwbacks have been pretty cool. I just don't really understand why this is something that has to be done every single year. Kind of loses its luster after a few times. Not to mention they are going to run out of teams to "throwback" to.
 


Kirk is over the top with self-deprecation in press conferences. If you believe all the stuff he says in pressers, I have a bridge to sell you.
 


The old guy who sits in your section at Kinnick who listens to Dolph at the game on the walkman with the giant headphones just nodded in agreement.

KF has said in the not too distant past that he wasnt big into texting or the twitter.
The man isn't as up to date as others. He just goes out and coaches ball. I won't fault him for that.
 


All of you here should know that typing on the Internet they will steal your idenity and drain your bank accounts.

Go ahead laugh but You was warned.
 




Stunning! The same old crowd reads a comment from KF whereby he laughs at himself a bit and they turn it into a major crisis in confidence. Would you guys (yeah, Scorpio) get a life.

I get what you are saying but its not like we don't have an identity. The Iowa uniforms and more so the Tigerhawk, are among the more recognized in college football. It seems we have a different throwback uniform ever year. How many different unis do we need?

There was a time when players did not care about their number. Just give them a jersey and they'd be responsible that number one which people talked about. Now you've got players who want to spend more time in front of the mirror than the cheerleaders.

Can the players spend less time caring about how they look and more time figuring how to improve?

Old man rant over.
