I've had enough of this argument from you.
Please name the last ISU coach, maybe you ought to go back to ISC as well, that has won 10 or more games in a season. Hmmm? Well??? Still thinking???
Kirk Ferentz has done it FOUR (4) times, with a nine win season as well.
ISU, as well as ISC, has NEVER won 10 or more games in a season and has won 9 games JUST ONCE!!!!
Kirk Ferentz has also won a BCS bowl game and had teams finish seasons ranked in the top ten at least three times. When was the last time ISU, or ISC, has even been in the top ten??? THIS is what he gets paid $4 million/year for.
The Iowa Athletics Department can also AFFORD to pay a coach $4 million/year WITHOUT using ANY taxpayer money at all.
While ISU athletics, with its one glory season of 2000, still sucks at the taxpayer's teat.
Please, stop bringing that weak argument to this type of discussion in the future. You WISH you could pay a coach $4mil!
