Transcript: Kirk Ferentz Discusses Outback Bowl Loss

When did we play in the Foster Farms Bowl? Lol. You make these broad sweeping statements about Iowa football being terrible under Ferentz. 36-13 in the past 4 seasons. All-time top 30. If that's mediocre...God help us all.

36-13, sure, but nothing to show for it other than one B1G West title. Appearances don't count for much in my book. And you can't really use 36-13 as a valid statistic because the 12-0 season is clearly a statistical outlier. Throw out the 12-0 season and it's 24-13, which suddenly isn't so impressive. But that's besides the point. The point is that winning regular season games is great but regular season games are merely a means to an end to win things that actually matter.
 
"You know, I evaluate seasons on a lot of things, not just wins and losses."

This is all you need to know. The rest is just background noise.
 
It's a tragedy that Jon banned Icke

"You know, I evaluate seasons on a lot of things, not just wins and losses."

This is all you need to know. The rest is just background noise.
Lets be fair. Here are some of his most important things to evaluate, besides Ws/Ls:
Did I hit my bonus clauses?
Did I do enough to keep the big donors happy?
Did I do enough to keep Barta's head under the negotiating table?
Do I have enough examples from yore to discombobulate the media?
Is there anyone in the family left to put on the payroll?
Lots of important stuff like that.
 
Grow up. Your best argument is to call me another poster? Really? Good one. In the words of the great Rocky Balboa: Its not how hard you get hit, but how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.

I'm staggered by your tactics...I wasn't sure I was going to get up..but then I heard that music..and I'm...gonna...fly now! Lol
Everyone calls you Ickehawk because you're unoriginal and copied his remarks verbatim. He was a bag of dicks but at least he came up with his shit talking on his own and didn't steal someone else's insults like you do.

Tell us again how we're all "crazies" and "losers," Ickehawk. You're the Carlos Mencia of HN. Google it if you don't understand the reference.

Well good sir, if I'm a "bag of dicks" lol it makes sense that ive got you all excited on here. As for name calling, I have to say blind rage for no reason..and you have YET to show good reason to get rid of KF.....is a little crazy. You want to get rid of a coach who ranks top 5 in big ten victories. Who never wins. Who has ONE less big ten title than your beloved Wisconsin since 2000 (3-2). Who is about to surpass Fry in wins. Again insert excuse HERE why it's so much easier now. Who has WON a new years day big bowl game (did Fry? And it was the Orange Bowl). Who won 12 games (did Fry?). Who has 4-5 top ten finishes. But he sucks. Anyone could do that. ANYONE. How is Notre Dame doing these days? Nebraska? Illinois? All of those teams were actually good in the 80s and 90s. If all you can come up with is Wisconsin...well done sir. You have won. All of those national titles look good in their trophy case. You don't like him. We get it. You claim to be a super winner because you hope and dream and want. We ALL do. But hating a successful coach just comes off as small. If you resided in Ames I would understand your frustration. You are a Hawk. Act like it.

Now you're just embarrassing yourself.

That is an excellent retort. Well delivered. Meticulously planned. Boom. What? Where am I? I have been destroyed. Lol You HATE Ferentz. Got it. Done. You have no response to evidence. Move on to someone else. I'm done with you. You offer zero in debate. You name call and try to pass off your lack of insight as other people being banned posters or "a bag of dicks." I think you are good to go. Talk to Jesus. Read the part about envy. Its funny that a fan base tears into itself. You are not a fan. You breed hatred. Say something positive once in your life. Dare ya!

Wisconsin hasn't won a big ten title in the past 4 years. Now what?

How many times has Wisky been in the BIG championship game again? Yeah, that's what I thought. And how about you dig up KFs BIG record since he's come to Iowa. Pretty impressive to you I bet.

Wut?
 
Neither has Iowa. But at least Wisky represents the BIG well in bowl championships while we let KF crap all over the bed on national tv. G'night Mary!
Western Michigan? Of course, Wisconsin WAS better this year. Fire Ferentz! You'd want Dantonio gone if you were a Michigan State fan. I get it.

When KF wins the Rose Bowl and goes to the college football playoff, let's talk. Until then, let's not compare Dantonio to KF or Iowa to Wisky -- they aren't comparable at the moment.
