Name KF's replacement ...
- Thread starter 3-D_chess
- Start date
Go with someone young and bright offense mind like a Declan Doyle of the bears. Has worked under Sean Payton and now Ben Johnson. An Iowa kid that knows the program.
Yeah, that's gonna happen after iowa dumped his Father. That's some funny sh*t
I see what you did there. CDJ will be in the league for 10 more years which means a decade-long extension for Bubblegumbrain.
You're a naughty naughty boy.

Why do we do this to ourselves every year. Kirk is the coach and will be till he dies or we die, whichever comes first
We need to lose this mindset and I hope Beth doesn't have it. Kirk hasn't done anything to choose his end date unless he retires after this year.
I agree with both of you.
But, as others have stated, maybe getting past Woody will convince him. Probably not though. I hate to say this, because it will reflect poorly on my parents, but if he starts to have health issues ... well that could usher in the new era.
So, I'm team mother-nature
A lawn chair. It’s cheaper and can call the same game.
Just put a sign that reads Run, Run, Pass and there you go.

Beth will hire the right coach. She’s the real deal. I’m sure she already has a few folks
In mind.
In mind.
Anyone. Please.
Hayden Fry has to be rolling over in his grave with what Kirk has done to the program he built.

Kirk's replacement is in middle school.
The Captain plans on staying a while.

Temu Ferentz? Yuck
We need to reboot, no former Iowa players/coaches. Lester needs to be fired by mid-season
Not really. HF took over a bottomfeeder program that hadn't had a winning season in over 15 years and transformed the culture into one that expected to win, and within a handful of years was playing in the Rose Bowl. KF has taken that program and now has basically relinquished its position as the clear best program in the state to Iowa State, a program Hayden made mincemeat out of every year. Think about that. Iowa State is the best football program in the state. If you don't think that would make Fry turn over in his grave, I don't know what to tell you.
If we replace Ferentz with Fitz I will just stop watching football altogether.
I believe he has a no other big ten school coaching clause in his contract.
First part, uuhhhh OK.
Second part ... you know better than that. We fire Lester and KF replaces him with James Ferentz.
Then we are in agreement: Kurt Warner. Time to get Jesus working for us instead of against us.
Let's get a grip we lost to a ranked team.
No disrespect to our HOF coach Hayden Fry but fans sure do forget some of his bad years and poor offenses. Let's take the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 when in the middle of his coaching career at Iowa we had 3 non-winning seasons in a row and we were 16-18-1 over that period. In 1993 we were 6-6 and had no wins against a team with a winning record. We beat a 4-6-1 Tulsa by 1 point, and a 3-8 ISU by 3 points and a 2-9 Northwestern by 4 points. We lost to a 5-6 Illinois team 3-49.
The 1993 offense seemed good against poor teams but when we played a decent team the offense could not do anything. In our 6 losses that year we never scored more than 10 points in any one of those games and scored a total of 33 points or 5.5 points per game in our six losses. Three times we scored 3 points or less. Great offense by Hayden.
Maybe Hayden should have had a decent defense in 1994 when he was 5-5-1 and in the 5 losses the other team averaged 40.8 points per game. We did score 37 points on a 0-10-1 ISU, and 49 on a 3-7-1 Northwestern and 49 on a 3-8 Minnesota. Every loss was by 14+ points except 6-5 Indiana who we lost by 7 at home.
Let's also review 1989 when we were 5-6. Here are the points we scored in our 6 losses. 6,14,12,7,0,7 so we averaged 7.7 points per game in our 6 losses.
I think it's pretty clear that Seth Wallace is the heir apparent.
Fry transformed a losing program into a winning program. Did he have down years here and there? Sure. But in the 17 years directly before he came, Iowa football had 0 winning seasons. Kirk Ferentz inherited an Iowa program that was light years better when he got here. You can't overstate how much harder a job Fry had when he came to Iowa compared to Ferentz. And now 26 years later, Iowa State has emerged as the top football program in the state. That's what Ferentz has done to the Iowa program.
Maybe in Kirk and Seth minds. Beth has a different plan.
Seth is highly regarded in football circles but he’s dug his grave with the investigation and the “Simple Jack” comments.
