Don’t reply to this unless you watched KF’s full postgame. I’ll delete responses indicating you didn’t watch. It’s short, and it’s free on YouTube. Search “Ferentz postgame” and it’s right there at the top.
I’ve not been one to say KF needs to go, and I still wouldn’t say that 100%, but after watch ing KF’s postgame last night it’s 99% clear to me for the most part.
It may be age, it may be something else, but this thing has passed him by. There’s no fire, no frustration, no nothing anymore. Watching it it was just “I thought we had a good week of preparation, they’re a good team, our kids are a good group of guys that played hard, and we’ll watch film and learn from it.” You can tell he can’t keep up the fire anymore. You can see it on his face during the game.
Again, there’s no fire, no frustration, no anything. The dude looks like an elderly shell of a man in last night’s presser, guys. He looked frail and tired. Like it’s too much for him. There’s no other way to say it and you have to admit you saw it
I know KF loves coaching. But I also know guys like him don’t quit because they don’t recognize when they can’t do it anymore. It’s hard, I get it, but it is what it is.
We all know KF ain’t getting fired, ever. If you think that’s a possibility you’re an idiot. He’s going to get to choose how much of his contract he uses. My only hope is he realizes it soon and helps make a good decision as to who his successor is. If he doesn’t and the next guy is one of those nebraska/Wisconsin type flubs, we’re cooked. You’re not going to sell the stadium out anymore, you’re not going to sell out of $4,000 RV spots, and people aren’t going to go drop a $50 bill on 3 beers to watch a team get shithoused when they can sit in their garage and spend $1 per beer, and turn the channel when the Hawks don’t get a game-winning 3rd down and miss a field goal that would force Cignetti to panic and play different. They don’t have to sit in traffic for an hour and drive 2 hours home. And we all know what’s going to happen to NIL when we get to that point.
There’s a lot riding on this next hire. I hope it’s coming sooner than later but I also know it’s not going to happen till the end of the contract. Any of you who’ve seen the celebration and huge deal made on KF’s longevity mark and how he’s idolized in Iowa City also know the U isn’t going to say, “Sorry man, you’re fired.”
He needs to realize he can’t do it anymore before this thing gets too late.
