If it was "stale" back then we must be growing mold and mildew now.ferentz used the word stale as I recall. "Things had gotten a bit stale"
that's the only thing i remember

I agree with this. Plus if you are going to be a no name coodinator, you might as well do it in the NFL, the payday is a lot better.I believe Ken was just ready to move on. IIRC he had previously interviewed for the Indiana job. The chance came to up to work with Joe Philbin again and I believe he had a daughter living in Florida and its the NFL so he took it.
BS offense. Beyond Stale.
how's that for a name?

No way did Kirk Ferentz force his friend KOK out.. IMO if Norm Parker was still around the program so would KOK..
Exactly, I remember losing to Iowa St. among other cream puff teams with KOK too. I also remember the 3rd and 6 run plays for no gain and the same boring offense that we often see under GD. I also remember reading the forums about how people couldn't wait for his replacement. People forget how bad he was too. And don't give me the two shared big ten titles because had we not lost easy games those two years well we coulda been a contenda.
I thought Ken leaving caught KF off-guard. I think he wanted him to stay.
Maybe he was tired of the fans here. Maybe he legitimately thought it would be a better opportunity to work with Philbin in the NFL.
I don't have any facts either, just guesses. After the Pitt game where Iowa went to a no huddle offense for a quarter and a half and won, like now, the fan base clamored for more, for change. Kurt put a big damper on that notion (after about the 10th question asked in a presser). In that presser he said Iowa's offense would revert.
KOK, being an offensive innovator and all, might have had enough of the conservatism and scape goating.
Fanbase was really tough on KOK. I don't think we realized how good of a job he was actually doing.
