Why does everyone over look this point when discussing what is going on in the football program.
If you remember all of the negotiations that took place for every KF contract he leveraged it to the hilt. He used rumors about the NFL, that could have been propagated by his agent and his early success to get one of the biggest contracts in collegiate coaching at the time and still is a top ten contract.
Why do so many people want to give him a pass on performance. I don't get it. I read Jon's article about whoa is Iowa and how recruiting is so tough. And then there is everyone's stance about he does more with less than anyone. He took the money and in my opinion everything else that goes along with it. Nobody made KF run up the price of his contract.
Don't tell me he puts butts in the seats and makes millions for the University so he deserves it. Football programs don't sell an experience...they sell wins. If a team isn't winning the fans won't come. And if he's getting paid for putting butts in the seats where is the player's cut.
Now there will be the inevitable response about how I'm so hurt over KF making so much money...and I say I don't care if he makes $10M a year. If you get payed, do the job. He gets payed $4M a year to win games not lose to the bottom feeders like MN, IA ST, IN, Purdue, NW every year....BTW over the last 7 seasons he has lost to at least 2 of these teams per year except '08 and '09 where he lost to just NW. But he made up for that in '06 and '07 where he lost to three of them...oh and don't forget about W Mich.
You are a top ten payed coach...win like one.
