If Kirk loses to an ISU Team that has had it's entrails laid on the ground and is introducing a new Staff , System and nearly entire new Roster with less than elite NIL and finances My answer will be it is time He hands the reigns to someone at the end of the 2026 Season
That person will wake up, look around, and say to his wife, I just had the worst dream... it was actually a nightmare.
That would be proof that Pollard has sold his soul to the devil- and on Christmas too.
This is the state of Clown U football. If they get a ****** coach they fire him. If they get a good coach they can't keep him. Rinse and repeat. Will never be a destination job.
Did you feel that way in 2014 when he managed to lose at home to a team that finished the year 2-10? I did. KF has managed to lose to the *** Clowns 12 times in 26 tries. Anything is possible.
Considering Iowa is coming off 2 losses in a row, Kirks age now , the Game is at Home and all ISU will have had happened to its Roster I do not think 2014 is even in the same ballpark and then add in 12 Team Playoffs and the Iowa Schedule next Year getting thru the Non Conf 3-0 is mandatory
Majority of players he brought from sdsu are graduating. Besides freshman barely any have allegiance to him since he was around 11 months compared to 10 yrs with Campbell. What ever they bring in won’t compare to what they lost. Especially qb with wazzu one graduating from last season.
I hope all these guys heal up. You know it was the ISU athletic department that told us they couldn't play in a bowl game because so many of their players were hurt they couldn't safely field a team to practice. So I imagine lots of these portal guys are all banged up.
I hope they all get better so they can score some big portal cash.
Yeah, weren’t ISU fans saying it was no problem that Rocco left because they had Manske, I guess not.
Couple other Guys in addition to Manske Today, Mass exodus , I think they are down to 1 QB on the roster
They will absolutely have a McDonalds! The employees will even dress in colors to show their loyalty to ISU.
Scour those campus intramural teams. Maybe some sleepers. Lolz.
That 2014 game was a sH#t show of conservative not taking chances and letting ISU stay close. An abysmal loss, and that same year the hawks had two 17 pt leads against Nebby and let them come back twice.. That was my 3rd season of being done with KF, 2007 2012 and 2014. Kf got somewhat better with in game stuff

Ain't gonna happen. Iowa State isn't coming back around in the next few years. Losing almost the whole team and not having a big NIL budget to replace them, is going to set them back to the Jim Criner lows. The only way the Clowns have more wins next year is if they drop down to FCS and join Drake in the Pioneer League.
