Tell us again how lucky we are to have Kirk.
Lol.
Lol.
Let's Hear it KF Bootlickers!

61 games without a 300 yard passer. Today, like a majority of the previous ones, was never in jeopardy.

Regardless of who’s HC or OC, it shouldn’t take an act of God to throw over 100 yards.
How can a HC completely neglect a key part of the game like this?
I believe they lost this game when they kicked that field goal early on 4th and 1 or 2. This guy coaches more conservative than anyone in college.
Because every other coach that produces such a result can only win 0-3 games per season. Other factors allow him to get away with it, that's all.
And why would any QB even seriously consider Iowa unless you have no other options and the NIL money is too good to pass up?
Eyes_on_cock is currently busy eating dinner and will spend the remainder of his evening enjoying reruns of “The Lawrence Welk Show”. He won’t set us naysayers straight until tomorrow morning.
Kirk will always have my respect as a person and coach, but I think it’s time to move on. Will never forget the 2002-04, 2009, 2015 and 2019 seasons, but again, it’s time to move on.
Because throwing the ball brings... <gasp!>... risk. It might be intercepted. Our HC is the biggest p*ssy in the history of college football. He doesn't do risk. This is why most of his "record" wins are close, low-scoring wins against crappy opponents. He's a fraud.
Last year he got crucified for going for it in this same game. The issue wasn’t going for the FG. The issue is Iowa City is where QBs now apparently go to die.
Woody Hayes won 5 national championships and 13 outright Big 10 titles in 27 years.
Kirk Ferentz has never come close to winning a single national championship and has won 2 shared Big 10 titles in 26 years.
This little record he's about to take over is meaningless.

agreed he is nowhere close to Woody in any shape or form.
Kirk has made me respect Saban. There's no denying KF has more in common with JoePa than Saban. Rhabdo, Bigotry settlement; Nepotismgate; knowing the truth while subordinates take the fall; using the Disney spirit award as a cudgel; riding the coat-tails of the PARKERS; legacy recruits by the dozens going elsewhere, and when they do come to Iowa half the time they transfer or ride the bench.
After he's gone all the revisionism in the world won't save his legacy from the truth.

That was a must go. 4th and 2 at the 12? 13-10 game with a defense that hadn’t given up a point in the 2nd half. Of course the announcers thought so as well and he runs out the kicker. We score a TD there we win the game.
Saban changed with the times. Kirk refuses.
Sure, but it's not exactly a surprise. He's been doing it for 27 years . . . and counting. But he'll break Hayes' record vs. UMass next week, and what a glorious day that will be.
After only 27 years? Be patient, grasshopper. Patient.
The funniest part of the whole broadcast. Lets see what iowa does here! Like every one of us over 30 didn't know that Iowa was kicking that field goal.... Look it's impressive congrats to Kirk on this accomplishment but finish this year out, lets go to a bowl game and honor him the way he should be honored with one final win and let's start the search for a new head Hawk
I was thinking the same thing. We needed a TD but we have a coach incapable of taking the risk.
It's just one of many reasons why he isn't a true HOF level coach.
Similar to me considering Hank Aaron the home run champ. Bonds stole it…for another subject for a different day.
The symbolism will be undeniable.
If he sticks around for another year, it's going to get ugly.
Because his obsession is turnovers. It's the Ferentz Fear Factor. You could hear it in the postgame. What stood out to him was that our turnover led to 7 points for them, and their turnover only led to 3 points for us. You can just see in his mind the problem was the turnover.
Playing not to lose rather than playing to win. That’s how KF loves to roll.
I do have respect for him, but I’ve been ready for a new coach for quite some time. A boatload of wins over mediocre opponents. I’d need to do some digging as hell, I don’t know how many wins we’ve had over a ranked opponent in the last five years. Can’t be many.
Consistently good or great defense, paltry offense with barely a pulse resulting in a very average football team that’s hard to watch imho
How? He is a douche who would be selling used cars if his dad was a regular guy...
Yes, this has been front and center for decades now.
But think of it like this. Two guys enter the boxing ring ... or the tennis court ... or the wrestling mat
One of the guys is almost paralyzed with fear contemplating a mistake he might make. The other guy isn't.
We all know who wins.
Bobby Stoops vs Fearentz.
He doesn't stand a chance but he knows how to wave and chew gum like a badass. And he is self-aware enough to start a campaign from Day 1 as head coach: The never-ending "making a bowl game is amazing when you have the handicap I'm saddled with" propaganda. He got lucky, an entire state that sees Stockholm syndrome as an accomplishment.
Whose fault is it that they only got 3? The decision was completely his and thousands of fans in the stands knew what it would be.
