Iowa Beat Writers

[twincyties]

I don’t see any way they hire Brian. It would be so incredible if they did, but don’t think they’re they stupid.

Also, Mark Stoops would be stupid to leave Kentucky. He’s got SEC money, better recruiting territory, and lower expectations (wildly enough) than Iowa.

 

[Acylum]

What defense and ST’s do we play on the road like that again?

I think their defense is overvalued and it’s our continual insistence on ******* up on STs that concerns me.

 

[GMackey32]

Correct. He saw it. Can’t share it. Because…….

Iowa fans probably appreciate football more than Kentucky fans (basketball school) and Big 10 money is on par with SEC. Big 10 has more fodder to beat up on too, schedule wise each year. I think he'd be a good fit, unfortunately, but hopefully won't be interested.

If this truly is it for Kirk, I wonder who would want (and who would get) the job.

Mark Stoops would probably be the frontrunner. I could see Bielema, Leipold, Klieman all be interested as well. Lots of Hawk fans like the idea of LeVar Woods.

Barta would hire Brian

Kirk has 42MM guaranteed. He has a few years left.

Canadian women must be hot.

I believe he and Cal have been pretty openly hostile lately (which is pretty weird).

That said, Kentucky when properly resourced would be the far better job.

I don't get that b10 has more fodder.

Whoever it ends up being, I'm strangely confident Barta will screw it up.

The more years of this the better:

Iowa football signs head coach Kirk Ferentz to contract extension through 2029 season

On Friday, any speculation regarding a near Kirk Ferentz retirement was put to rest with a four-year contract extension announcement.

www.hawkcentral.com

“Kirk’s consistent leadership and success over 23 years has been amazing and appreciated as he has led our football program in a first-class manner,” athletic director Gary Barta said via the school's press release. “His success over the past 23 years speaks for itself. He is an asset to the University of Iowa and our athletics department as a whole. The foundation of his program is strong, and the future looks bright.”

There are more 'easy wins' on the yearly big 10 schedule, generally speaking. Vanderbilt is the only sec slouch

Mizzou?

Get ready for a bunch of apology letters to Kirk from the media. They will want their credentials reinstated after this game.

It will be hilarious. They will be in full chode-sucking mode.

Like I posted a few days ago, last week Nevada gave up 613 yards and 55 points in their loss to Incarnate Word. I said Iowa would beat Nevada, Petras would have a decent game against their awful defense, and Hawkeye fans would over react and jump back on board the bandwagon... just before they jump back off again after Iowa goes on the road for the first time this season and loses to mighty Rutgers.

I saw this thread and was able to check in and catch play by play for their failed drove just now.

 

[inCyteful]

I mean, if it wasn't for one blown TD call by the officials, Iowa would be undefeated and starting to talk about CFP chances.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

If Iowa beats Nevada in football but nobody is around to see it does the win really count?

I know Dolph isn't a beat writer, but did any else catch his Petrus comment in the first half. Commenting on Petrus QBR after the first 2 series he said, Petrus's rating was 264 and Eddie just laughed.
