Haha, oh so true. Wisconsin has surpassed Iowa winning 5 of the last 6. KF can’t seem to figure them out. Therefore, I have approved Wisconsin’s & Northwestern’s transfer to the East for an exchange of Indiana and Rutgers. Might have a shot at that West division title now

The divisions need rebalancing, then, because there aren't any contenders to Wisconsin in this division, or over the next few years.
 
I have been wondering the same thing for years now!!!
Why would a successful coach at a great school such as Wisconsin EVER leave? Because they are never going to get to the top of the mountain there either. They know it. So....geniuses...WHO are you going to get...and WHY are they going to stay after all of these big ten titles that are hanging like 25 lb apples so easy to be picked? Wisconsin is the PERFECT example of why it will forever be a challenge to win consistently. We have a coach that is good and loyal. Turned down the NFL. Any other coach would be gone to better just as soon as he gets traction here. You watch Campbell at ISU. You watch. Wanna set the over under on how many better offers he passes on after 2-3 yrs of mild success in Ames at ZERO? I'll guarantee it. Success at a non-blue blood school is a stepping stone. A resume builder. Same as hs kids. As soon as a michigan, ohio state, alabama, notre dame says hi....HE GONE. YOU would go too. There is no amount of charisma or old spice to overcome that.
 
Kirk would've never been able to accomplish what he did. Standing up to racists at the height of the civil rights movement. Improving multiple programs. Being a badass Marine. Understanding the psychology of winning. Mentoring to future hall-of-famers. He is stronger and smarter and has a better moral compass than Kirk.
This is about the dumbest kindergarten my daddy is better than yours argument ive ever seen. Lol Haha Are you an adult? You are comparing people as "better" than other people? What is wrong with you? Kirk Ferentz makes damn sure his players get a shot at the next level. He makes sure they are team first. He gives a gift of $1MM out of his pocket to the hospital. He's not "better" than anyone else, but he certainly doesnt need your approval. Fry would whoop YOUR rear for bad mouthing Kirk. How do you feel about that? Are you conflicted?
 
Shame on them if so. KF is a good dude, no disputing that. My critiques are with his coaching decisions.

It's definitely shame on me. I don't see him as worse than anyone else at his pay scale. But no way do I see him as better.
Have those coaches leveraged their son into a HC position?
Someone on a different site said Steve was now employed by the team. That would make 3 relatives.
He's human. And subject to all that implies.

Not calling you out -- you have legitimate concerns about coaching personnel. Coaching personnel is a coaching decision and that is fair game.

Yeah I wasn't upset with you or picking a fight. Just willing to identify myself as one of the deplorables.;)

Cause Barry Alvarez knows football. He can coach, recruit and hire coaches with the best of them.

Best hire in the history of Big Ten football. Letting him get away was one of the biggest mistake in the history of Big Ten football.

Agree.

Separate the man off the field from the coach on the field.

Seems to be one of the classiest people in the world of football coaching. On the field however, he's so conservative it's painful watching the games.

Could Iowa do worse? The obvious answer is yes. Come Saturday's, the one day per week when I want to be entertained, can Iowa do better? The answer is also an obvious yes.
 
If the majority of Hawkeye fans are satisfied with 8-4 seasons 80% of the time, then the right man has the job.
