It would be a great time to retire......

I was worried a few years ago when Davis was here. I had little faith of Greg being able to connect with the younger generation where I think Brian can relate with the younger guys and speak to his experience as a Hawkeye player, the NFL and working under Belicheck and now with a few years experience at Iowa.

Granted, I think this years team is better than our record and some of the blame for that can go to the coaching staff.

But I’m not concerned about the future of the program. We continue to put guys in the NFL and compete consistently.

We’ll miss the TEs next year but hopefully Smith and Marsette both a year older will be ready to step up more as well as our run game.

I get so tired of hearing the “put guys in the nfl crap”. Who cares? What exactly has that done for the program in terms of performance and wins?

Not for certain. Have to have .600 win percentage. He currently sits at .599. He’ll have to average 8+ wins a season to qualify.

Records are irrelevant. Different eras. Different schedules. Different number of conference games

Not sure what your point is here. I was responding to someone saying KF will be in the college football HOF. A coach must have a .600 win percentage to be inducted.

That's marriage.

Hayden Fry took over a dumpster fire of a program that had been a joke for decades (18 consecutive years without a winning season) and turned it into one that was consistently competitive and respected. Kirk took over an established program coming off a down year.

I've said it many times before; Kirk is a good football coach, runs a solid program. He isn't a great coach. A great coach wouldn't go 14 years without a conference title. Overall he's probably a good fit for Iowa. I don't think Iowa fans would tolerate a cheater like Urban Meyer, Bobby Bowden etc. Kirk appears to play it straight and the guys that play for him seem to have tremendous respect for him.

I dont think he's a great coach either. He's a good coach. He will be in the college football HOF. Maybe on some levels it does make him great.

In Fry's last 11 yrs, we were 72-53-5.
Ferentz..................................90-48-0

Last 7, Fry. 43-38-1.
Ferentz. 55-35-0

So, you think he's going to get his winning % above .600?
