fail.this same thing was said about him and then his staff back in '99.Keep thinking small and you'll get small results. Ferentz has already seen his best days at Iowa.
imported battle!

kf is saying you select the best guy for the position not necessarily the biggest name. most of the time a splash hire doesnt work out for iowa. just look at the bball team...alford, lick were both big names at the time. fran wasnt. kf wasnt the splash hire.
That's what Kirk just said in response to what he's looking for in hiring an offensive coordinator. Awesome Kirk, why would you want a superstar coach when you can safely promote another guy from within? This guy tries hard to keep people unexcited about the direction of his program.
Without Googling, name the Offensive Coordinators for the teams that finished in the Top 10.
Go.
This.
Name 5 superstar offensive coordinators in college period. Norm Chow, Gus Malzahn (HC now), and...? Just ******* and moaning for the sake of ******* and moaning.
That and the bizarre statement about coaches leaving for successful, prestigious, elite jobs:
"What we told recruits is we're going to have good coaches. Just look at who's*‑‑ I mentioned the guys that have left here. We've had a lot of guys leave here to go to successful, more, quote‑unquote, elite jobs or prestigious jobs, whatever. We've had pretty good guys here."
He's the one who contrasted "here" (Iowa) with successful, prestigious, elite jobs.
Good job Cap'n Krok.
Norm Chow isn't a OC anymore either. And he hasn't been a relevant OC since Matt Leinart graduated.
Was Ferentz a superstar hire? How bout' Fran? We need a guy who 1. knows thier stuff and B. is a good fit for the program. Besides that it's not like the names that were thrown around for the DC job were superstars either.
Does your throat get dry breathing out of your mouth all the time?
So... the head coach of the Miami Dolphins isn't a more elite/prestigious job than being an assistant at Iowa? Being a coordinator or assistant in the NFL isn't more elite/prestigious than being a coordinator or assistant at Iowa?
Oh, I see. Silly Kirk. What was he thinking?
Is it? Is simply any job in teh Leeg (NFL) by default "better" than a job at UI?
If so, why? He have any power over that? Some folks like NCAA football much more than the NFL. Are they deluded?
Why isn't Iowa a prestige job? And if he doesn't think it is, GTFO.
If I have to explain to you why an NFL job is more elite than a college football job, then you should just stop paying attention to sports.
Rubbish. NFL ball is not for everyone, and lots of folks appreciate college football much more.
You seem to inhabit that intellectually small space where humans imagine that things should be evaluated by money. There are few things more wasteful or meaningless than professional sports, except, perhaps, "fans" who worship in their cult.
