Good Lord CFB is firing all of the coaches. Doesn't say much about school unity and spirit.

I do like that about Iowa. And it is true for all sports at Iowa too. However, those that are not Kirk Ferentz fans see it as a negative.

Okay so I read up a bit on this and it all makes zero sense.

They just gave the guy a 5 year extension in January and now 5 games into the season and they fire him?

He's never had a losing season in 8 years as coach.

I read this in the article...

" If Chryst was fired without cause, Wisconsin could pay north of $16 million for his buyout. "

The cause can't be because he lost to a former Coach can it?

So now they have to pay his buyout of 16 million dollars?

This may be the dumbest move in AD history!

Dumbest?

I’m going with giving Malzahn a huge raise and extended contract when Arkansas was going to pay to take him. That was a 30mm swing out of Auburn’s favor.

The second is giving Jimbo even more money after signing him to a massive contract one year before.

Hiring Herm Edwards at all?

I’ll give you top 10 but it’s not in the top 5.

I smell a sexual harassment claim. Wait for it.
 
Leonhard should be the permanent coach....promising up and coming youngster and an alum.

Looked like the Oklahoma players quit playing for Venables just like Nebraska players did in the Oklahoma game. I hope he can get them back this week or who knows how many losses are ahead for you guys.

I think most are booing his son OC Brian this season. But there are many that don't like Kirk. I do think they need to put him on the hot seat though. Last time he was, Iowa went 12-0, barely lost the B1GCG. Got destroyed by Stanford.

If you boo one then you boo the other because nepotism won’t let you separate the two.
 
Good. Now maybe they’ll get rid of that 1940’s offense. Maybe get a decent QB and decent FG kicker too.

No, they don’t need to throw it 50 times every other game. But it’s not gonna fucking kill them to have enough offensive creativity/innovation to come back from 10 pts when they need to.

I am too. He named himself coach for a bowl game against Auburn and paid himself like 250K for doing it. The guy was making a million a year as AD and just dipped back into the register with zero shame.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Firing Chryst was almost certainly a mistake.

Now the rumor mill is turning on Jimbo.

($95 million)
