He's a decent person but he's not that decent.KF has more than enough in savings, to buy himself out.

I'm in favor of a coaching change but I've seen nothing to indicate Barta or Mason would pull the trigger. Don't they work for KF?
Ehhh, do not know if I am buying this anymore. KF is effing himself by forcing Barta/Mason to grow a pair. KF survives this season, but that seat will be scolding Will Muschamp hot come 2015. I know a lot has to play out, but that 2015 ISU game already feels like a loss.
I don't like this mentality. I understand it, but we can't hold onto a coach because we are afraid we can't do any better. That's just saying we are ok with with being mediocre. And that where the program is right now, mediocre. We had a great run 10 years ago. KF has been rewarded for that. Now we get excited about an 8-4 season with a weak schedule. Iowa has been and can be better than that.
Yes, we could make a bad hire. But we could make a great one too.
You have quite an imagination. You start by telling me my opinion lacks
logic then go on for four paragraphs of pure speculation citing the occasional
"I talked with some people" anecdotal evidence which, of course, you can't
even prove.
The first piece of logic is this... the vast majority of Hawk fans aren't so immature
and emotionally unstable that they feel need to rant publicly, yet anonymously, about
the doings of college kids.
The ones who are concerned aren't so arrogant as to think they know every little
detail and nuance of how things actually work in big time college athletics.
I come here because you guys are so amusing....
Now hit that thumbs down and pretend to be smart!

I would prefer we fire Barta and get a strong AD in place who will actually be Kirk's boss. Maybe if he knows he could be fired something will change. I'd sit him down and say win a big ten title next year or you're gone.
Not sure I really want Sally and GarBar to have the responsibility of "pulling the pin". They'd drop the grenade and we all get fragged. We're in a lose-lose situation here. Ferentz needs to be gone, but the other two need to be out of here first, cuz they will F up the next hire.
Most people in everyday life might not voice their opinions as strongly as people on here but it doesn't mean they don't think it. If the question is "is the percentage of 'anti Kirk' people higher with people on message boards than with people off them" then the answer is an easy no.
There is zero logic in your theory, just pure opinion based on your own emotions.
I never said I was basing my stance on talking to any one else just pure logic that there is no common denominator of people posting on the internet that would some how delineate them from the whole.
This a random cross section, just like a poll would be. There are all different economic backgrounds, occupations, political views and religions.
Were the same people who came on here and defended Ferentz for the last 5 years immature then? Or just now because they have changed their minds?
An easy no? Really? Please cite your source for the data supporting this "fact"
Once again you start off by saying my "theory" is just opinion lacking
any logical basis... and... once again... you do nothing but speculate that
your position must certainly be correct yet you cite no basis for that
assumption. other than, of course, your speculation on the demographic
make up of the forum membership. Perhaps you could link me to the stats
verifying your claim.
As for the use of the term immature you clearly could use some remedial
training in reading comprehension. Go back and read the original passage
and identify your error.
