Ferentz hasnt decided to return next year?
- Thread starter HawkinK.C.1
- Start date
McCollum doing pretty damn good so far
As big of a brown noser Wallace is he probably makes Kirk's coffee goes to the store for him and shines his shoes.
Or become Indiana.
This may be the dumbest thread of the year.
Yeah, and this one is going to carry for a while. Tough to beat what we're reading on this one.
She certainly hasn't whiffed yet. Both her basketball hires are in the top 20 right now.
Now now, let's not be rude here.
He does all of that AND landscapes the Ferentz estate.
And yet he's not a Hawkeye?
Weird, but I'm sure you can sort it all out for us ...........
hope this doesn’t drag on too long. wouldn’t put it past fitz to tamper with kirk. would hate to see the dean of cfb as OL coach or senior analyst at msu having a ball alongside levar
Kirk has already had a say in who his successor is. That is a period at the end of that sentence. After the sheer number of years with the program he has a well-established culture recognized by other coaches and media. Kirk has also kept the donors for Iowa athletics engaged and interested in donations through renovations and facility upgrades. Kirk is also well respected by other coaches of all sports at the University. Set the questionable parts out of Kirks career aside as he has recovered very quickly with decisions, he has made to overcome those "bad" choices. Every leader at the upper levels of any business have made decisions that in hindsight were not ones they would make again or do again. How do they recover and move forward. The lowest level employee can say something that can be an oh crap moment for an executive or another executive or boss can make the correction for them while still valuing their leadership and weighing both the positives and negatives. Money from donors alone and the fact Kirk has run a clean program with support from an overwhelming number of players years later is stellar. What some on this message board consider a negative is actually a huge positive in coaching. When former players and coaches want to come back and learn that is a strong positive.
Beth is not going to stray far from the Iowa model of what works for Iowa. Ben and Jan are the epitome of Kirk. No different in their ideals, expectations for players, and goals for their programs. Ben is building the Iowa men's basketball base after it had fallen off. He will do it the Iowa way. Jan has to maintain what Iowa women's basketball has become and try to go further. She won't settle for anything short of championships. It is not a have to win one, but the actual steps you are taking to "try". Money drives athletics in every way now. Iowa will never compete with the top programs in money, so you have to strive to get there through steady development and overcoming bumps along the way.
Don't be disappointed when Beth takes the safe route when Kirk retires. She will extend Kirk's contract in whatever way she sees is needed to keep the program rolling at the level it is or better. She has already had all the conversations she needs to with Kirk to know how he views the program after he retires. She is not a football coach, but it isn't about the XOs of football but the Jimmies and Joes. It is Midwest Iowa. She is not going to hire someone that has zero Midwest experience or that is brash, obnoxious, or out of place. There won't be a Kiffin, Cignetti, or Lanning. Iowa does not have billionaires, an arrogant fan base, or does well with self-confident cocky. I'll continue to say hiring Lester wont surprise me at all and it will be all out trying to keep Wallace for the d-coordinator position when Phil retires. The current staff is damn good at most spots. I do think it will be hard to keep line coaches and other position coaches at some point. My hope is Kirk sees that before they start to go elsewhere.

Since when did you become ottumwan’s gimp?What an improbable fantasy.
Well the HC has over 100 million. If you include the entire family it approaches 200.
It'll be the biggest mistake of Beth's career if she gives in and hires Wallace.
Why would she hire Wallace with Tim Lester there and his Pro experience, head coaching experience, QB experience, and a complete list. It is a fact that Phil Parker thought they should not let Wallace go to Minnesota for multiple reasons. His title means nothing more than money.
If they hire from inside yes I prefer Lester. But it seems like 80% on this board think Wallace is the second coming with no experience.
This can't be a serious post. Beth's new hire for men's basketball is 12-2 and has the team ranked #19 in his first season. The women's team is 13-2 and #14. Not sure what your expectations are, but a complete train wreck? Come on. LOL.
As for the OC.. Are you honestly saying you would rather have Brian Ferentz back running this offense?

Kirk has said his retirement gig would be as an OL coach somewhere so he can just teach. There would be 100 schools in line saying pick me pick me.hope this doesn’t drag on too long. wouldn’t put it past fitz to tamper with kirk. would hate to see the dean of cfb as OL coach or senior analyst at msu having a ball alongside levar
Oh behave, he’s very good at chewing gum and taking notes for the next game next year.
Get this eyeliner wearing mofo off here.
He should. The 4-2-5 was Wallace’s brainchild. He tried to get Phil to put it in a few years earlier, but Phil was stubborn about wanting to keep the 4-3. Right up until Wisky beat us on a pass to the slot covered by an LB.
