**2026 Iowa Football Offseason and Transfer Portal Thread**

[Gushawk]

There should be nothing controversial about my opinions, which is exactly why we are in the situation we are in right now.

Honestly, I could argue that he should’ve been fired by now. But we’ve been winning, which is enjoyable on 7-9 days a year, so whatever. But you know damn well what is coming down the road. He will hold out as long as he can, and then force the university (via money, influence, timing, or all of the above ) to hire whoever he wants, rather than doing legitimate national search for what is a very attractive job.

When the people with the *actual* embarrassing jokes of lives want to try to rip on me personally for stating facts or reasonable assumptions, you might want to reassess if your position. Or kill yourself. Up to you.

this is a drama queen overstatement.

it could not be any of his sons. or Chris Doyle.

could he install Seth Wallace? Probably, if things are still going very well (8-10 wins a year). and it would be hard to say that’s not the best path forward, given the demonstrated risks of blowing up a successful culture and program identity in this part of the country over the last 25 years.

 

[Mysterio]

i dont think seth wallace is that guy. hope im wrong

 

[Shawneemicks]

I think the succession plan is pretty obvious. Levar took the job at msu to get other experience so when Kirk does retire he’s ready

 

[Shawneemicks]

Whether or not he’d be successful I think it’s the right move.

 

[Pedro Gomez]

i dont think seth wallace is that guy. hope im wrong

Agreed. I don't think he should be

Like ben McCollum?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

More likely Levar left because he’s not the next guy.

Spoiler

(he’s not)

 

[LifelongHawk]

Ltard - take a break, we'd all like to C U Next Tuesday.

 

[Gushawk]

Like ben McCollum?

is your contention that Fran’s program was basically as successful as Kirk’s?

 

[Shawneemicks]

A squirrel

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Please don’t engage the retard.

 

[Shawneemicks]

This is one of those times where you could literally TRY to out stupid someone and you have no chance

 

[L. Wade Childress]

unless you are measuring by attendance.

 

[Shawneemicks]

This has to be intentional

 

[Gushawk]

 

[Shawneemicks]

Besides that

 

[Shawneemicks]

It’s like arguing McDonald’s has the best hamburger

 

[Kerky]

unless you are measuring by attendance.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

unless you are measuring by attendance.

FUCK

 

[Lil Scamp]

 

[Lee Beevers]

Did Kirk tell the guys on the Cul-de-sac they are faggots or something?

 

[CleteyColgate]

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Make some retarded statement.

Type out controversial in a subsequent retarded post.

Be surprised everyone thinks you're retarded.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Do a search for "controversial" by Wade and you'll not be shocked by the results.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Why is everyone so surprised!!!

Feel free to point out what’s incorrect about my posts

You were incorrect when you said that the off-season after our universally highly regarded head coach had just gotten the team to a top 20 finish subsequent to successfully implementing offensive changes changes we'd all wanted to see for a while was a good opportunity to fire said coach.

What? That should have been at least 3 sentences. And I still can’t figure it out.

you should go back and read the threads of what the people were saying during our actual games.

Don't hate it

seems like ames always gets the night games. glad kirk gets it this year

 

[Stu Beagle]

It’s never a night game in Ames

 

[Orestes]

Don't remember if that was intended to be a night game or if it just became one due to weather delays, however.

Pretty sure 2013 was a night game in Ames, too.

 

[Thrawn II]

1999 and 2013 in Ames were night games. 2002 and 2016 in Iowa City were night games. 2019 was an afternoon game (3 PM kick) before 2.5 hours of storms turned it into a night game.

 

[Silky Johnson]

My most vocal ISU friend really doesn’t like the primetime kick and acknowledged they will be dogshit this year with zero prompting. Kirk should know the gravity and hopefully beat them down given the harm he’s done in this series.

I'd love to see a Hayden style ass kicking take place.

 

[KitKatApples]

Lol. Won’t happen. Kirk feels bad for them

 

[Gushawk]

Kirk beat Matt Campbell 42-3 in his first year. May he summon the same testicular fortitude this year.

 

[Gushawk]

Wanting deeply to fuck Iowa State in the face was Bridawg's only redeeming quality.

Was a good snapper too.

Not entirely unlike your mom, in that respect

Nope. Poor sportsmanship. Wouldn’t be nice. They’re working really hard over there, haven’t had it easy. Don’t want to be mean

 

[Thrawn II]

halo asking for a hayden-style beatdown of Iowa State is a longstanding tradition at this point. let a girl dream, apples.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Hope we didn't hurt any of your boys

We could've had a few more of them if Kirk didn't find it discourteous

Good one, buddy.

I keep coming back to this thread hoping to learn Iowa miraculously got a 310lb defensive tackle.
