Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz (Kirk's back in the fight, boyz!!)

[Stu Beagle]

So I assume this also takes away any chance Bri stays on and is demoted?

 

[Grandma]

That coward isn't going to resign. He needs to GTFO now.

 

[TVan]

Seriously, who gets fired and then hangs around for a while? Have some pride and GTFO.

I can't imagine a scenario where anyone with an once of pride would stay after getting canned.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Get ready for a lot of non answers from KF at the PRESS CONFERENCE!!!

 

[nolookpass]

Dude, fucking quit. Have some pride for fuck's sake. this is idiotic.

Kirk's gone at the end of the season. They ride off into the sunset together.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Get ready for a lot of non answers from KF at the PRESS CONFERENCE!!!

Fuck, I’m getting pretty pissed thinking about it.

 

[newsbreaker]

I turned on KXNO like a stupid asshole.

Heather demands they lead with Iowa State.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I am a stupid asshole

FIFY

 

[TVan]

Get ready for a lot of non answers from KF at the PRESS CONFERENCE!!!

LOL. The non answers might actually be entertaining this time around. He's gonna snort and be a bit combative and it will be great.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Seriously, guys...start saving your piss.

Milk jugs or Gatorade bottles.

We will have much work to do.

 

[BluesHawk]

FIFY

 

[Soda Popinski]

Kirk needs 10 wins to be HOF eligible, is that correct?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

DYOFR

 

[Brad Wesley]

Why let him finish the year? I wonder if Kirk asked and she is simply appeasing him?

 

[Herky823]

We can all just take our normal response to Doug's posts and add an "I'll" in front of it.

Kudos @douglasbader. Enjoy your time at the sculpture park

 

[WizardHawk]

Seriously, who gets fired and then hangs around for a while? Have some pride and GTFO.

It appeases KF … and gives them a chance to work together until the end of season and ride off into the sunset together??

 

[L. Wade Childress]

What's the benefit of announcing today and not in a month, at the end of regular season?

So her top candidates know there’s an opening

 

[gable_guy]

So her top candidates know there’s an opening

That’s not what an AD does

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

[/QUOTE]

Big balls Beth. Holy shit.

That's a great statement as well. She's not fucking around.

 

[thrawn]

Maybe the top candidate is Kirk’s son, Steve Ferentz, and she anticipates managing him.

 

[gable_guy]

It could be they just don’t have any better options on staff. I think Barnett is only one with OC experience on staff

As said as that is

Either did Brian.

A monkey pointing at random plays would be better

 

[Herbie2]

He needs his winning % at 60% to be eligible.

 

[gable_guy]

A monkey pointing at random plays would be better

It’s had 5 years now

 

[OlePeep]

Ok I can endure it under these conditions

 

[thrawn]

[BillyBob]

If Bryan had any pride he woulda quit immediately, but we already know he doesn’t have any pride cuz he didn’t quit after last season, so I guess we shoulda expected Bryan would stay on like the prideless shameless little boy that he is.

 

[Herky823]

Kirk needs 10 wins to be HOF eligible, is that correct?

I'm not going to redo the math but I looked at it at the start of the year and my memory was that he needs 11 assuming 10/11 meens BTCG + bowl game. Maybe 10-3 gets it where 10-4 doesnt, though.

 

[The Dad]

He owes it to his players to finish out the season. He has brought them this far. Where would they be without him?

 

[The Tin Man]

Big balls Beth. Holy shit.

Beth is looooooong

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Gotta collect those bonuses.

 

[26.2]

Holy Shit the new AD is one tough bitch. It may not be ideal with BF sticking around for a few more games, but we essentially got what we all wanted.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Brian not leaving immediately is not ideal, but Beth is doing the best she can with the difficult and bewildering situation she inherited from her cowardly predecessor.

 

[BillyBob]

Big Dick Beth

Needs to win 5 games the rest of this season to hit 60%.

 

[Debit One]

I will be disappointed if she isn't the permanent hire. She earned it.

 

[BillyBob]

Kurt is gonna be a petulant child for the rest of the season.

 

[Herbie2]

I will be disappointed if she isn't the permanent hire. She earned it.

No way they let her make this move without knowing she is getting the job.

 

[fossilhawk]

As seen elsewhere, I'm too lazy to read on a weekday, and IDGAF if this taek has already been posted, but: the sign on Beth Goetz's office that says "Interim Athletic Director" is, as of today, only there to fulfill legal technicalities and other internal regulation bullshit.

There is zero chance she pulls this trigger without knowing the permanent job is hers if she wants it, and zero chance she pulls the trigger if she doesn't want the permanent job.

I, for one, am all for it.

(I'm less certain, but reasonably confident, that KF knew this had to happen and let Goetz do it. There's no way in hell they announce a change mid-season without him signing off on it, given his stated aversion to making changes like this in the middle of the year.)

 

[Soda Popinski]

Needs to win 5 games the rest of this season to hit 60%.

He's going to be 1 game short lol.

 

[Creed]

He's going to be 1 game short lol.

Deservedly so after the shitburgers he has routinely fed us seemingly once or twice per year.

 

[coff]

Kurt is gonna be a petulant child for the rest of the season.

*Kirk

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Let’s not turn into dipshits now.

 

[SousyHawk]

She basically said "I shouldn't have to be the one making this decision and I don't want to, but you fucking retards aren't going to do it so I have to because it's the obvious thing to do." lmao

Kirk is pouting in his office right now.

At this point she should have free rein to clean house in the football program.

 

[2HawkFans]

Wasn't there talk about Brian wanting to go elsewhere last year, but Kirk wanted him to stay? Maybe I'm imagining things....

I'm guessing with the NIL/transfer portal they thought they had some things to help right the ship. But with injury it's become obvious it wasn't enough. Maybe they (Kirk and Brian) knew Brian was going to be done after the season. This is a way for the AD (and Brian's direct report) to appease the donors and maybe open the doors for conversation on a replacement. While not ideal from a fan perspective, has there been indications they've lost the team? I haven't seen anything posted that makes me think that those inside fort Kinnick have given up on the season.

 

[The Tin Man]

Beth has a big ole hog. Bigger than Gary, that spineless fuck!

Beth has the biggest cock in town, boyz.

 

[Kerky]

I really don't picture Kirk hanging around after this. There is a bit of humiliation for him as well and with everything else going on in the sport and conference I really picture him strongly considering retirement.

I just hope he has the courtesy to give Beth an early enough heads up.

 

[26.2]

I would like to think BF would be inspired to improve over the last few games, as he is coaching for another job elsewhere. But we all know that isn't happening.

 

[Kamala]

I would like to think BF would be inspired to improve over the last few games, as he is coaching for another job elsewhere. But we all know that isn't happening.

I would like to think he would have been inspired to improve somewhere during the previous 40 games, but he wasn’t. Or he was just incapable of it.
