I agree she will be really good, and you don’t want to lose her.
But your fan base will go absolutely ape s**t if KF walks and Iowa sucks for a few years. You don’t get a long leash these days like KF got when he started.
Personally I don't believe it but that was a go-to for a solid decade of early Ferentz era if they lost to ISU.
His teams are just very 'bleh' for the first month no matter who it is and that tends to include the B12 opener.
I don’t know. Tom Davis felt like an entitlement play. It’s wild that a coach with a solid history has this as his last five seasons ends in getting fired.
It's not like KF has 10+ years of coaching in front of him and if he walks we'll be missing out on him. A few down years are to be expected when transitioning a new HC in, especially at a place like Iowa where we've had exactly 2 head coaches since the Carter Administration.
I can tell you first hand she crushed it at ball state. Was particularly good at hiring for the Olympic sports. Won the MAC all sports trophy.
I think it really stems from his first couple good seasons where ISU was great in October but lacked the depth to play well as the season wore on and injuries started taking a toll. Really since 2019 they seem to spend the first 3/4 games playing a ton of guys, and frankly ISU hasn’t been very good early in the season. Hopefully they can figure out a way to build depth and evaluate guys with struggling so much, but I understand the approach.
It is great that now a few injuries don’t result in disaster like it used to. But so far the trade off has been slow starts to the season.
Big question that's been out there is whether she'd be like Barta and just kowtow to Ferentz. We got our answer.
I agree, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens when they have to play a more competitive schedule. Winning 4 or 5 games a year will doom their program.
When you used the words “crushed” and “ball” in the same sentence … you think of Brian. Well done.
If you're Kirk, what do you do, assuming you plan to return? You won't be able to hire anyone outside the program, no one inside the program can fix the issues. She's trying to force his hand and push him into retirement. But KF doesn't like it when people tell him what to do, either. This is going to be fun from a schadenfreude standpoint.
BG already did the ball thing. I would have hoped she kept BF and did the impotent thing.
