Is our only hope! -MAC-level recruiting. Plus every year 6-10 guys leave the program (it seems just a small percentage make it 4 yrs). -Horrible game planning and game management.

He has the university by the test!cles with his $50 million contract, and doubt he would walk away, as the new regime prolly wouldn't retain Brian.

With 9 game BIG slate, and commish working on a deal with PAC12, 4 - 8 might be best case scenario, year-in, year-out.
 
you people are morons. KF has built the program into a huge success on and off the field. he's less than a year away from 2 plays (the TD was on third down) and a few inches from the College Football Playoff; and the consolation prize was the Rose Bowl. Five years ago, something similar happened with Delano Hill (could be messing up the name) when he bailed for Michigan. Could be wrong, but didn't that result in Desmond King getting an offer (never confirmed whether this sequence is actually true)?

the personal attacks always start when the losses come.

the coach is worth every penny. the people at Illinois and Purdue and a bunch of other schools around the country with revolving coaching doors would agree.

When someone criticizes Kirk, his minions come out with their own personal attacks...

Allow me to toss in a few inconvenient facts. Kirk is a 7-5 coach at Iowa (59%), with the benefit of a 4 game cupcake non-con every year. Not exactly "huge" success. He's had some great seasons, but just as many embarrassments. not just losses... embarrassments. (see ISU for a good starting point)

Iowa has been a very healthy program on and off the field for years...he certainly gets credit for maintaining that. But he didn't build it. EDIT: dare I add, Kirk has had his share of off-field problems...some pretty significant.

"Close" doesn't count. A man named Hayden taught us that's how losers think.

He may be a fine man, and a great practice coach but he couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag on the sideline once the ball is kicked off. The last 10 years are replete with examples... as recent as 2 days ago.

Nope, don't buy it. I'm a shareholder of numerous companies, and I want my CEOs to maximize the company's potential. Who gives a **** whether my CEO is running the company better than Wells Fargo's or Walmart or the local barber shop down the street. I hate the argument that "well at least we're not Purdue or ISU" because there is wasted potential in terms of Iowa. Purdue's coaching staff does not matter one iota in evaluating KF's performance.

Last year we found oil underneath our property and our leading competitors happened to have a rough year. That's the explanation for our success, not some hidden KF genius surfacing.

By any other standards-whether you're talking about the CEO of a company, an pro football coach or a college football coach-any other coach would have been fired.

There was no need for a 10 year deal. Where in the hell was he going to go? Wisconsin coach is barely making1/2 of what Iowa pays Ferentz.
 
Quick question for those in the contract know: If the team refused to take the field one of these games to protest the coaching, would that be a fireable offense where the U wouldn't have to pay the buyout?
 
I think we as fans should become the Luvable Losers....the Cubs replacement.... It might be kinda fun! Think about it....Hawkeyeville camaraderie!
 
--------- KF has built the program into a huge success on and off the field. he's less than a year away from 2 plays (the TD was on third down) and a few inches from the College Football Playoff.

Last year was smoke and mirrors....good thing MSU went, because Alabama would have beaten us by 75.

A little historical perspective; that's who we were pre-Hayden

That's pretty much true. Those teams were so noticeably slow. Outside of a few skill players, that's what my eyeballs are saying about Iowa now....slow compared to the competition.
