Les Miles went 114-34 with two national championship appearances during his twelve seasons at LSU.

Kirk Ferentz has gone 81-53 with no national championship appearances over the past twelve seasons at Iowa.

Both coaches make roughly $4.5 million per year.

Both coaches were well liked and present themselves very well in their public and private lives.

One coach was fired after losing to Wisconsin and Auburn, another coach keeps his lifetime guarantee after losing to Northwestern & North Dakota State.

Either go get a coach that is young and hungry who wants to bring an exciting brand of football to Iowa or pay a coach that can actually deliver conference championships along with a national presence year in and year out.
 
I get that you're joking, but if Kansas basketball can recruit top athletes, that point should never be brought up in a respectable conversation.
I wouldn't exactly compare Iowa football to one of the most storied basketball programs ever. But Iowa should definitely be able to do better
 
Guess we're destined to pay top dollar for mediocrity. What would happen if we didn't pay top dollar.....
