Solution to KF

[HawkGold]

If you think Kliff Kingsbury is a better coach than Les Miles you're crazy. Sorry

What direction did that come from? Who is Kliff? I think KF is better than Les Miles. At least on staying hired and getting raises..

ANY coach that loses to ISU isn't very good.....

Meh, VintageHawkeye has always had a hard on for me.....goes waaaaayyyyyy back.

ahhh, I didn't even know that was Vin. I hate it when people switch their user name.

Dean said Kingsbury was better than Miles. I would assume he thinks Campbell is better too. Like I said, crazy

You know who else had a "solution"?

Dean and I don't see everything eye to eye.

We are too late. The great Purdue Train Wreck in slow motion. http://www.hammerandrails.com/2016/11/22/13716954/reports-rumors-purdue-close-to-hiring-les-miles

Maybe he won't last 10 years....

Wow Purdue? I thought maybe he would make a run at the Texas job.

Must be desperate.

If Miles takes that job it's safe to say he wasn't getting much interest from other places.

A homerun for PU though.

Figured out the solution to our KF 'problem' (huge salary, mediocre results)...Take the money ($80 or $90 mil) allocated for the stupid End Zone remodel (do any of us give a rats a$$ about?), and buyout KF (or force him to retire), and get an agressive coach who is a proven winner (like Miles).

Are you serious? With Les Miles you are getting the exact same guy as Kirk Ferentz. I guess the press conferences would be more entertaining. Les Miles or Kirk Ferentz? Give me KF. Les Miles couldn't find a quarterback in a talent rich state like Louisana or next door Texas. He didn't even need a 4* kid, a three star Texas kid and he probably still has job. No Les Miles.

Some people on here still think KF is a better coach than Les Miles.

They are the same dude. At least KF can develop players. If you are going to go 7-5, I rather enjoy it with the two star from Solon.

Who has KF developed lately ( not comparing to LM ) ?

So the Les Miles 7-5, would get you more jacked up than the KF 7-5?

Once James Franklin made a late run at PSU, LM options became limited.

Stretch play to the short side of the field versus a dive play in the 2 hole......Wow dude, it doesn't take much to entertain you.

Again, I wasn't comparing the two at all. Just asking why you made the "at least KF can develop players" comment. You're not alone with that opinion, but it seems to me the whole "development" credit points back to the "early years". There haven't been too many no-name becomes a star cases lately.

 

[thetrza]

Yeah but he would eat grass on the sidelines...

Yeah, Desmond King and Josey Jewell had "5*" written all over them...

Christian Kirksey is 2nd in the NFL in total tackles. I am too lazy to do the homework since 2005 I would guess Iowa is 4th or 5th in the B1G in terms of the number guys drafted into the NFL.
