KF Offers Few Answers in Post Game Radio Interview

Hard to "stop the run" when you don't have your best LB on the field! Seriously, every presser question should be "Alston has played the best BYFAR of any of your backers. Why was he sitting on the bench?!

Nothing is gonna change till Kinnick is empty on game day, and that will never happen here. It's Iowa what else are people going to do with themselves, root for ISU?

I can find better things to blow a couple hundred bucks on a couple Saturdays a year.

Not sticking up for him (not calling for his head either), but why shouldn't he give Minnesota any credit. IMO they played a good 4th quarter, made the plays when the game was on the line and had the balls to go for an onside kick in crucial situation. Last I knew, our players didn't exactly role over and quit playing, so why can't he commend Minnesota?

Most coaches will address the media one way and their team differently. I'd be willing to bet that the tone in the locker room was completely different then the one he used to address the media. So IMO he can say whatever he needs to "sugarcoat" it or simply give the credit to Minnesota where it rightfully belonged, because not everything needs to find its way to the press. Some things are best done internally and should be between the coaches and the players.

I'd like to know why our defense...which had hardly been on the field all game...was "gassed" (this is a direct quote from the TV announcers) in the fourth quarter.

Funny how Minnesota's defense wasn't tired at all.

I just don't get how we can run the ball down their throat and get in the red zone and quit running. I don't get how Vandenberg cannot read a blitz when it is coming. We have 2 minutes and 48 seconds left in the game and we just go completely insane with play calling short passes to receivers who shouldn't even be in the game. Why are we not throwing to McNutt or at least Martin-Manley. We absolutely wasted a great effort by Coker and the O-line (at least run blocking) because of a coach who doesn't understand that every other team we play saves trickeration and fakes for us because they know we won't be ready for it. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me every stinkin game shame on the entire coaching staff. I don't necessarily think Ferentz should go, but the special teams coach should for sure.

Did anyone have the nerve to ask him, "How do you lose to Minnesota?"
