Nah, I'm good.
We're already trending below Iowa State as a football program, having lost to them the last 2 years under Kirk, and that's not changing while Kirk is still here.
Not to mention the fact that MUCH SOONER THAN LATER.................Kirk will not be the coach at Iowa regardless of how he leaves.
Iowa WILL have another football coach, so Iowa fans need to start f***ing making peace with that.
And why weren't the Iowa coaches all over the refs for that?
Of course it bothers me. My point is just how polarized this whole thing. There are actually people here who want him fired so badly, that they hope we'll lose every game. Sorry, I'll never wish we lost, there are too many people involved in the program who give their all every day.
Same way there was no holding call on that long run when they had an armed wrapped around Sharar, and the roughing call on Merriweather when he was pushed into the QB.
He's just another clown who ONLY posts when he has something to be critical about. Never says a word otherwise.
Yep. Its a really easy game sitting on your couch or on that keyboard
It's now 11 straight years of losing to ranked opponents.
Why should we be heavy dogs?
After all, we have the winningest QB in Division I history ($1.4M), a stable of capable, proven RB's, an OL, who many on this board have said 'is back' - best OL we've had in years w/ experience and depth, a proven, veteran kicker w/ a strong leg who is among the career FG leaders in college football
You're sounding more like an ISWho fan before 2020
Thanks for clarifying. I have rarely visited the football board since it moved over to the new deal. Starting to think I was right for doing so. Lol
Recruiting is already suffering. The roster is way down on talent.
Agree. I think the age/contract issue is already playing out on the field.
Yep. Kirk has stayed too long. I really hope this is his last year and Beth has a short list of people she's in touch with already.
Lolol.. You sound like I'm the guy ranking the teams. The fact is the players you mentioned were almost enough to play them straight up. A couple of injuries, (already missing 4 offensive starters), losing MG, Stephens and Harrel didn't help, and then our great kicker shanked his 3rd makeable filed goal in the last 3 games. You get a loss.....
There are athletic administrators (incl. those people on committees) all across the country that make successful hires of coaches in sports in which they didn't play or coach. So what's your point? I don't think Beth G has ever played or coached any tackle football
Agree wholeheartedly w/ not firing KF. He should leave w/ the dignity he deserves. BUT, someone needs to have a conversation w/ him about the legacy he will leave when it happens.
The road going forward w/ a 70-yr old coach isn't going to get easier. Opposing coaches will continue to use age, the woes on offense, media criticisms, etc) against him; the requirements for the HOF, the fact that SUI has been very good to him considering (rhabdo, Doyle and the lawsuit, Brian as OC,..)
How does KF want to be remembered?....as the thoughtful, compassionate person he is and do the right thing by the institution that gave him his opportunity or a selfish person, only wanting to hang on for his personal goals.
If he sincerely has the fire still to continue coaching football and molding young men, he could do that at UNI, for instance, and still add to his win total. I hope he picks the option you stated.
I would hate to see KF fired. I would like to see him encouraged to re-evaluate the program, particularly in the NIL era, and politely tell him it may be time to enjoy his family.
Happened to Hayden and the reason KF had a couple of loser years when he started here.
Where's the white dog dumbass who constantly bashes Brands but sticks up for average Kirk. What a tard.
Exactly. Roster recruitment .... coaches' responsibility. Roster development, readiness to be next-man-in and perform w/o a drop-off... coaches' responsibility. Setting example of energy and leadership... coaches' responsibility.
Indiana was worse off than Iowa less than 2 years ago. Yesterday's game was definitely winnable. (Same w/ ISU this year and last). Lutmer's pick takes the ball to the 30 yd line. We turtled up seemingly to be playing for the winning FG at the end and got bit,....again.
If Patton doesn't lead the 3rd army breakout of Normandy and push to Bastogne, we likely lose the European theatre in WW2.
He was decisive, pushy, taking calculated risks unlike several other field commanders, and not liked by many. But very successful.
Interesting point. So food for thought. The opinion here by many is that that our roster is way down, and the game has passed Kirk by. So explain yesterday. Indiana has been ranked basically in the top 10 most of the last 12 months. Most would agree they have a better QB/WR group, maybe RB's, solid lines, the 3rd ranked defense in D1, and a coach everyone is drooling over. Meanwhile we are supposedly devoid of B1G level talent at the skill positions, our line play gets critiqued, LB's and secondary are sub par by manys thoughts. Kirk is clueless and the game has passed him by. So why didn't Indiana drag us up and down the field like they did Illinois? I mean is our talent REALLY as bad as many say? Is Kirk and company really as clueless as many perceive? Literally it took a tipped interception to set up their first score, a blocked punt to set up a score, and us missing a field goal, and at least three really bad no calls on the field goal score to end the first half for them to win, and YET we are supposedly so far behind them in both skill talent, AND coaching supposedly. What gives?
Off the top of my head,

Sooner rather than later Kirk will be replaced.

You are right. The idiots that want kf gone would, should go to nebraska football so they can fire a coach every 3 years.
Specious argument. Superior teams struggle with lesser teams all the time, and for a variety of reasons. Heck….the Bills are only leading the Saints by 2 with 8 minutes left in the game at this moment, and the Chargers are losing to the Giants.

A coaching change after 25 years could hardly be considered fast and loose coaching roulette or comparable to Nebraska.
It is when you want to fire coach that is better than solich. Join the moran brigade in nebraska.
The idiot you're responding too wants the wrestling coach fired but hangs from kirks nuts. One guy has actually won something meaningful while facing the toughest schedule every year. The other is lucky to have had barta as AD while essentially winning a little more than half his games, largely against cream puffs.
It's impressive how consistently you look like an idiot on both forums.
25 years not the same as 3 years.
Disagreeing with you does not mean I am a moron. (Possibly the opposite).
There are morons in Iowa too.

I never said that at all.
There are many reasons a better team may struggle: a let down from a big game the prior week, overconfidence and taking the other team lightly, the other team being a bad match up (you see that in college basketball ALL THE TIME), the other team playing better than they usually do, the other team being more emotionally charged, etc.
Did you get THAT?
My point being….the better team doesn’t always roll over a lesser team. The better team doesn’t always win, either.
Still crazy to me we only have 3,000 Swarm members. We just don't have as rabid of a fan base as we like to claim.
After reading these Ferentz Fluffers try to rationalize this is making me realize how right I am. It also makes me realize how much of a better fan I am than you turds. Such a mediocre loser mentality on you guys. Shoot higher then a little above average. #FireKirk
