SIAR: Ferentz on the "hot seat"?

With how good the other big ten teams are and brutal rivals like ISU, Minnesota, Indiana, and Purdue(who I hate). 5 wins is a good season. KF isnt going to be able to produce 7 wins every year and 8,9,and 10 win season only come along once in a while.

If you are a real Hawkeye fan you should know that KF is the best coach that would take on a school like Iowa. 5-6 wins a year is all you can get at Iowa(even with one of the better coaches in the nation) with how hard it is to get kids to come to the midwest. Acting like Kirk would ever get fired really makes me wonder if you are a real Hawkeye fan.

c'mon man....enough. we get it, you feel we could do better. fair enough, you are entitled......sarcasm noted.

I mean, if KF can't repeat the success of the past 50 years and average 9+ wins per season.........lol.
 
I don't think Iowa football will be that good in the future without Norm, but ferentz job is secure with his contract signed for the next ten years or whatever it is. Anyway, by the time his contract expires both him and his son will be multi-millionaires.

Although I'd like better than 6-6 and 7-5 seasons, I fear we could do worse than that if we were to replace Kirk Ferentz, although we won't hit the ultimate highs with him, we can pretty much guarantee to put out a competitive product and not get rocked every game.

Totally agree. KF is prolly one of a handful of coaches in the country that could keep Iowa on this hot streak.

He worked his way up from Scouting Assistant to Tight Ends coach in 3 years for the most successful NFL franchise over the last 10 or so years. When he did make it to position coach his players broke NFL records. Of course they didn't do all that because of him but it's just as silly to assume he had nothing to do with it. If that were the case, then why have a TE coach at all? Just have a vast horde of scouts who can correctly identify talent and two coordinators to draw up game plans. Pretty silly reasoning when you think about it.

Apparently some people noticed he was doing a good job with the Patriot TEs before the 2011-12 season even started: LINK

"If you were grading on a youth-to-performance scale, then perhaps the valedictorian of what the late David Halberstam called, "Belichick U," would be precocious Brian Ferentz, son of former Belichick assistant and current University of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz. The 27-year-old Ferentz is listed as an offensive assistant coach, but he's the tight ends coach.
Ferentz, aided by tight end/team sage Alge Crumpler, who is six years his senior, has done a remarkable job with rookie tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, two crucial components of the Patriots offense. Gronk set the franchise record for touchdown receptions by a tight end with 10 and has been a bulldozer in the running game. Hernandez, who caught a Patriots rookie tight end record 45 balls this season and added six touchdowns, has improved at reading zone defenses and running precise routes as the season has progressed."
-Boston Globe January, 2011



Don't get me wrong, I'm not guaranteeing success. I'm just saying a guy with this type of career track to this point coming to Iowa to coach would be hailed as a coup if not for the fact he's the HC's son.


Now that I answered your question let me ask you this: other than his last name, what do you not like about the hire?

7-5 should be the benchmark, and if that is Iowa's record then Kirk should feel no heat at all. 6-6? Maybe a little heat, but not 7-5.

So you want Iowa's bench mark to be the same as Iowa States?

Your wife must be really ugly. But that's cool, she's pretty to you.
