Iowa Football Recruiting

Iowa has averaged 9 wins a year over the last 7 non pandemic years. We can agree on that, correct?

My prediction is Iowa will average 8-4 over the next 3 years and finish no better than 2nd in B1G West
My prediction is Iowa will average 8-4 over the next 3 odd numbered years and finish no better than 2nd in B1G West
My prediction is Iowa will average 8-4 over the next 3 even numbered years and finish no better than 2nd in B1G West
My prediction is Iowa will average 8-4 over the next 3 years if the pandemic persists and finish no better than 2nd in B1G West

All I said was that Iowa added another recruit , along with about every other recruit in this and recent classes, that support this.

I didn't say this was good or bad. Just saying KF is probably one of the most consistent coaches in recent CFB history along with Saban, Sweeney, Stoops, Fitzgerald - pretty select company.

I am not sure how much more consistently and clearly I can state my position.

I’d put Kirk a tick below Bill Snyder, Frank Beamer, and Mike Gundy. They are all better but he’s not brutally far off them.

To be fair to the Hawk fans, we heard a lot about how they wanted him fired over some low win totals less than 6 years ago.

Those days will be upon us again very soon. Should not be a surprise to anyone, KF is not going to be there in 5 years. The question is how does the transition occur. I think Iowa is primed right now to go out and have a shot a good transition, that probably is the case for the next 2-3 years. On the other hand, if KF is going to try to grease the skids for BF, its going to get ugly. Ironic that they may well follow in the steps of Snyder's and KSU.
 
hmm average of 8 wins a year since 2010.. and in the little 10 west even.

From '15-'19 Iowa faced 16 Big10 teams that were ranked in the final AP top 25 poll. ISU faced 16 Big12 teams there were ranked in the final AP top 25 poll in that same time. Of those 16 ranked teams, Iowa faced 9 teams that finished in the top 10 in the AP poll, ISU faced 8 top 10 teams.

This idea that ISU has a tougher "round robin" schedule is just an ISU fantasy. The majority of respected SOS metric say Iowa has played a tougher SOS in 3 of the last 6 years, and ISU has had a tougher SOS in the other 3.
 
The last 8 seasons Iowa literally has a .680 win percentage. God forbid that's characterized as an 8-4 record (.667).

Iowa has played 13 games a year over the last 7 non pandemic years. Iowa has averaged 9 wins per year in that time. It is funny that ISU fans want to throw in a pandemic year where Iowa only played 8 games to drag that total win number down to 8 though.

You never did answer. You’re perfectly fine with how Kirk ran his program, right?

what's Iowa's record vs those top 10 teams? or do you only live off the one OSU win still?
