Which NCAA head coaches command your respect?

[alexzelada]

. . . and why?

 

[pmchawk]

To run a football team or as an individual?

Kirk Ferentz. I respect him. I think he's a good man. I wish he was not Iowa's fb coach, however.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Paw whoades? Powd?

That is why many want this to end well for KF. We are at the point where I do not think it will.

Everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn't end.

John Elway ended his career pretty well.

I have a lot of respect for kf personally...not many CFB coaches I'd say that about. Professionally, I think he's overstayed his welcome.

College football is the new college basketball, the biggest sleazebags win the most games.

The Clowns coach, They beat us more often than not!

 

[hawkinn3]

Saban, because he wins. I've been a fan of a clean program that never sniffs a NC for a while now. Id like to try the other option.

Yup, agreed. I think KF is a pretty good guy (don't know him personally of course) but the on-field results aren't really there anymore. In the end, that's what counts, not just whether he's a good human being or not. He's still being paid to win football games, and being paid extremely handsomely to do so.

Some of you are sure to disagree with me, but I'd rather have an arrogant/sleazy coach who wins than a nice guy who doesn't. For me, there's little fun in losing.

 

[Hawke]

Joe Paterno because he claimed he did it the right way.

I agree CPR. Who else could put a turd in a box and give it to his wife and tell her he made something special for her.

was going to post the same thing. If Fry was still putting out Rose Bowl teams he wouldn't have "retired"

 

[docholihawk]

He did. Very few do. Money keeps people around to long sometimes.

 

[docholihawk]

I appreciate the way Ferentz runs a clean program. Unfortunately college sports have gone the way a lot of corporations, politicians, etc. where the lines of right and wrong have been blurred so badly that it's hard to compete. I think CPR is trying to run a pretty clean program at ISU while I think fast Freddy may have brought some NBA ways to ISU basketball. In the end you follow what your beliefs are and accept what you want. We're all different.

Arrogant, sure. Sleazy, no thanks.

Cancer may have had something to do with that, too. Just sayin'.

Ok, "sleazy" was a poor choice of words. I just meant that I don't need our coach to be Mr. Goody Two Shoes if he's winning.
