Iowa Football Recruiting

So Kirk was getting an 8th win bonus a dozen years ago to show coaching prospects 15-20 years later?

A dozen years ago KF was earning the right to go out when and how he wants to. The current contract reflects this. With isu changing coaches on average every 4-6 years I can see why the concept baffles you.
 
Go out when and how he wants? Where to, the Maid Rite with Zabel?

Another simple concept flies over the head of clone fan.

Shouldn’t you be working on another letter to the fans? Tell them how angry you are with the results but tearing down coaches and players doesn’t help.
 
More schools should do contracts like iowa did with kirk. Yes he gets a bonus for 8 wins and a rollover year for 7 wins but that’s because his base is low. Too many schools giving out fully guaranteed deals regardless of W/L record and they end up having to pay buyouts. This is part of the reason coaching comp is starting to get officially scrutinized.
Does Wisconsin have this Mr Badger fan? I'm curious because it's totally believable you're a Wisconsin fan and I'd love to hear from a real Wisconsin fan how their contracts are structured.

You are right, I'll get right on that. That's why you're the smartest Iowa poster here.
 
So, who do you Hawks think is Iowa’s next football commit?

Hoping for Brecht. He said he wants to decide before summer but didn't get more specific than that.

He said he is for sure playing football in college and undecided on baseball but if he thinks he can handle 2 sports and academics he would like to give baseball a shot as well.

It is looking like a real dogfight there. I think Brecht ends up taking his official to both schools in June or July (depending on his baseball schedule) before he pulls the trigger. Unless he decides for sure that he won’t give up baseball. DeJean has to be close to committing to Iowa, being from the BCIG area he might be waiting out a Husker offer though.

Kid is playing it really close to the vest. Must be one hell of a poker player.

I think having to decide to continue baseball or not is the biggest hold up. And he won’t pick till after he knows what he is going to do there.

Forgot DeJean got the offer, he could be next.

I forget the new visit rules but couldnt Brecht take OV's this spring since he wants to decide before summer?

Also, Mbow could pull the trigger out of nowhere. He was close to verballing but decided to push it back. I don't think the Badgers offer him if that's what he's waiting for.
 
Anyone that thinks that contracts aren't based on past performance are dolts. Kirk built up to his current contract over his first 10 years of outstanding performance. If CMC has the success over his first 10 years at ISU as Kirk did, Jamie will have 0 leverage against him, and will give CMC a bonus for taking a crap in the morning. That is just the way it is.
