To some extent it has probably been in the works since Gary retired, since the offensive struggle was always inevitable. I'm sure Beth knew her boss was a retard.

Kurt probably isn’t the guy for this new era of college football. Since the hiring of his fat retarded kid, he’s been prioritizing things other than the Iowa football program or winning football games. But even if he gets some new turd at OC and hangs on for a couple more years, I now feel a lot more confident with the future of Iowa Football with this big dick lady at AD.

Glorious times for sure. Been fun basking in it for a couple days thanks to Dougie.

Caveat in all this is if KF stays, and then how much any new OC can actually do under his stubbornness. But some candidates listed here I hadn't thought about. Some could be interesting....

That’s probably a decent realistic list. I don’t see Kirk hiring someone he doesn’t know or wouldn’t come highly recommended from someone he knows, which means it’s Budmayr.

was surprised to not see Chryst on this list

I think Kirk is done after this year. The University (in his eyes) has now stabbed him in the back twice in the last 11 months. He's no longer coaching with his son. The competition is going to get stiffer, and he no longer has the luxury of playing in the Big Ten West. And I can't imagine he's a fan of NIL. I can easily see him losing the passion in wanting to continue coaching.

Kirk needs to move to the CEO role and hand over all offensive control to the OC. Kirk should not even be allowed a headset during games

I agree completely. He probably has a growing list of clouds he needs to go yell at.

You're right. I'm sorry. Just one last thing. Kirk's guys don't have a tendency to play like soft faggots. There. I'm done. Promise.
Iowa hasn't defeated a ranked team since Nov. '19 (#10 Minnesota), if I've DMOFR correctly. And they've lost to some horrific teams since then.

I don't despise Kirk, I've just grown weary of his approach, which has seen the program descend solidly into mediocrity and as unentertaining to watch as almost any in the country. And there are no signs on the horizon suggesting the possibility of one of those magical, top-10 type seasons like '04, '09, '15, etc.

The entire FB Universe, NCAA and NFL, has changed in a way that leaves no place for his "steak no sizzle" schtick. I love what the guy did for Iowa, but his time has passed.

(and I still insist chucking the old Steelers unis would help usher in a new optimism for the future of the program!)

Concur. Kirk is an above average coach but far from great. He lived off of those three straight top-10 finishes. This is his 25th season and he has finished in the top25 9/10 seasons. If you think about the shittiness of the West the last decade, I’m not sure I’m all that impressed.

Woof. Moorehead and the Kansas QB coach are interesting, but hell no to Budmayer, Sheridan and that ND douche.

Is that related to Barnes or the increase in revenue with the lucrative TV contracts allowing for an improved recruiting budget, facilities, etc?
Don’t know.

How would you propose to test for that, Doc?
