That's your opinion. Let's face it, if the big boosters wanted him out, he would have been gone a long time ago. But they, along with most fans, feel that the benefit of having him around outweighs the negatives. I get it you're not in that camp but a small minority isn't going to drive him out.
It would be a great time to retire......

And give up about $30 to $35 million left on his contract? Hillary has a better shot of becoming president in 2020 than KF retiring this soon.

We get it. You wish you were a Ferentz.
I'm your huckleberry.
The big boosters don't have feelings. They're corporations now, and they don't care as long as they get their product placements during sporting events, and there are people who see them.

Great to hear from you, Mr. Polasek. Thanks for putting me in my place.
Big corporations are run by people. Boosters get coaches fired all the time. And if you think big boosters don't have feelings, well, I'll just say that I strongly disagree.

Once again,
when someone says they think it would be a good time for KF to retire,
many of you equate that to mean that person doesn't like KF.
Why?
How are you equating those two?
I love KF, and I think now would be a great time for him to retire.
If not now, when?
What specifically do you need to see?
2 consecutive losing seasons? 3?
Why would you want KF to bury the program before he retires?

The Iowa program is 9-9 in B1G the last two years.
Is that meeting your expectations?

Kirk's terms are as follows
- Son Brian takes over as HC
- Son James becomes OC
- Playing surface at Kinnick renamed "Kirk Ferentz Field"
- His profile replaces the tiger hawk as official team logo
- The phrase "That's Football" replaces the tiger hawk on the water tower.
- Nile Kinnick's statue replaced with one of a short side stretch run into a nine man box
- Stead Children's Hospital converted into the Wrigley Building

Yep, and I wouldn't refer to either of them as great or legendary. Both had weak areas that could have been easily improved. Kirk has significantly more weak areas than that basketball coach.
Exactly. Why go out when you start losing more than you win? Wonder if Hayden would have gone 1 yr earlier?

Lol go root for ISU already ya fugging clown
Who doesn't?
Tis why nothing is changing anytime soon. Everything else is moot. Till that # is under 10 or so and say Iowa is in the toilet there's no serious pressure to change. 8 plus wins. Big $ still rolling in. Nothing trumps those two things... Iowa's won like 7 or more games 4 strait yrs I think I saw for the first time under KF and only done once under Fry I think. If anybody out here thinks KF is going anywhere anytime soon their just kidding themselves
