Time to go Brian

[BVHawk95]

You know what, I get the KF hate, at least from a pure football standpoint.

But it's not happening. Unless Iowa goes 5-7 or worse multiple seasons in a row, KF is here as long as he wants to be. To me, at least, he's not worth hating as a person and his brand of football does have a few positives (namely defense and the ability to hang with most opponents). There's no point in working yourself into a fervour, because Hell will freeze over before Barta grows that type of sack.

Which brings me directly to point 2: I don't want Gary Barta within a 10 mile radius of our next HC search. The guy is 100% incompetent. The only "notable" thing he's done besides fundraising is hiring Rick Heller. I don't hate Fran, but he's topped out, and that was Barta fixing a mess he created anyways.

So unless Bruce Harreld and the Board of Regents grow a spine or decide they have enough money any time soon, he's not going anywhere either.

End rant, I'm gonna go have a beer and enjoy the rest of my weekend. Night fellas.

F Penn state and their child molestation community....NCAA SUCKS. how were they not given death penalty??

I assume you're looking for an answer beyond

MONEY

 

[Fryowa]

rofl... yeah they wouldn't dare fire him. Kirk would leave and we couldn't go 7-5 every year.

Kirk is the one who would have to fire him

PSU is a damn good team. I thought everything was much improved over last week. If we can get a win against Wisc. were golden

PSU graduated the best skill position players they had. Iowa returned all of them.

PSU found better players and beat Iowa because Iowa's returning skill players mostly suck.

 

[DBAHawkFan]

I feel like we looked even worse on offense this week compared to last. The numbers may not show it but again there was no counter to PSU adjustments.

BF wanted quick passes to limit pass rush, and it worked for maybe 3 possessions and PSU adjusted to it and we had nothing

 

[BigD]

If you lose the exact same way two weeks in a row and don’t have a counterattack then you are incompetent. Move out.

Finally your are coming around to see the light. I know I honestly tried to support Kirk just as you have and I even predicted a 10-2 season out of blind hope. The writing is on the wall. For the good of the program Kirk and his family need to say a B1G THANK YOU and move on.

 

[Caddy]

We cannot survive this bullshit with him... .

All the Ferentz clan needs to go. They all suck. Brian is clueless, always has been, and the only reason he has a job is because of daddy.

Losing is one thing.
Not playing well is one thing. Teams can get into a funk.

But losing the EXACT same way in CONSECUTIVE weeks is incompetence plain and simple.

PSU was running the exact same schemes that Michigan did. Nothing changed offensively. NOTHING!

Exactly.

not sure it's prudent for you to knock our future HC. i mean...everything is recorded these days.

Couldn’t have said it better. That’s coaching or the lack there of.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

It is time for him to go...right on up to the HC office at Iowa. Good times ahead!! Woot woot.

watch, kirk will retire tomorrow and name brian as interim hc. might as well get that ball rolling.

with you 100%. I do not want barta making that decision either. he got lightning in a bottle with the heller hire.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Guys, this was a tougher defense and we quadrupled our point total this week

lol. not sure if you're serious, but UMs defense is way tougher. but it doesn't matter. we were out coached again. the opposing DC out game planned brian for the 2nd week in a row.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Exactly. He's gonna be the head honcho soon. I may actually become apathetic towards Hawkeye football.

don't think you'd be alone.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

It was sarcasm but that’s how it will be spun around here by those who still support this coach.

rofl. you got me on this too. you deserve a like for some well placed sarcasm.

 

[Garandx]

don't think you'd be alone.

Becoming the majority hopefully. I want the students to bail next.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

plus when will you guys learn.. lol.

It does not mater who the OC is.. as long as Capn Kirk is coaching we won't be a good offensive team.

It's been this way for 20 years.. regardless of who the OC is

i disagree. we have routinely been good at being offensive...on offense...under kirk.

It's almost like we scripted the first 15 plays to be effective against what we were so bad against last week, but once we ran through them, plays 16 thru ??? was "Iowa doing what Iowa does..."
