That sentiment can GFY. That is going to turn Iowa into Rutgers

 

[Dr. Zaius]

HIT PIECE!!!

That guy prefers the shit piece on the field

 

[hawkeyealum]

How bad is northwestern that Iowa is favored by 9? 31.5 over/under

41 D1 teams average more than 31.5 ppg

also we shouldn’t be favored over anybody

I do appreciate the final dig at the tavern hawks. They disgust me.

 

[Pipiyopee]

I don’t care if Brian stays at Iowa. It just needs to be in a completely insignificant, powerless role.

I’m in the camp that thinks Iowa will have a new offensive coordinator next year. That, and Kirk keeping his terrified, decrepit hands off the new offense should be the bare minimum expectation.

That’s never going to happen

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’d rather just play May or Labas. They probably couldn’t be any worse and neither of the others two stiffs should be in Iowa city next year

give some skill position guys some hope going into 2023

At least wait one more game for redshirt reasons

 

[hawkeyealum]

Labia sat last year. Let him play

 

[Alan Lomax]

It would be hilarious if Labas started the rest of the season and the offense improved to “fine.”

 

[turtley78]

I wouldn’t find that very funny at all.

And they might not have full grasp of the offense, which we can all agree is a positive.

 

[Creed]

Agreed but it would be nice to know the talent pool isn’t completely dry at the QB position. It’d be further proof of how inept and stubborn this coaching staff is which wouldn’t be anything we didn’t already know.

 

[CleteyColgate]

We know...it is. But we have a good QB coach to fix that

 

[Hawk24]

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I did not find it hard to believe it was that bad.

 

[BngHawk]

I did not find it hard to believe it was that bad.

Pretty much exactly as bad as expected + 10%

Good lord.

Who the fuck is this asshole?

A rascal

 

[BngHawk]

That’s a tweet that is drawing rage from many angles

 

[Gushawk]

I have strong opinions in support of my daughter’s reproductive rights and in opposition to Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz. I feel no compulsion to rank their strength.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Lots of touchy men in Iowa ITT

as much as I hate him right now, to be fair, I think Brian is a good tight ends coach, and O-line as well. If Kirk won’t fire him, at least demote and bring in an offensive coordinator who has the opportunity to build a succession plan for Kirks departure. Brian’s ship has surely sailed at this point

 

[BluesHawk]

No, he's going to have to leave. He can come back in future years in a lesser role if need be, but you can't keep him on staff and demote him at this point.

God damn it. No. He can’t stay in any role. Even if he is a capable position coach, it doesn’t matter. He has harmed this program in major, irreversible ways. He can not stay, and no organization on the planet outside of Iowa football would even consider it.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Maybe Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz should open a Culver’s franchise…he already looks like he belongs at one

 

[Geese]

Say what you want about Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz, but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and let you talk shit about Culver's

 

[Kamala]

God damn it. No. He can’t stay in any role. Even if he is a capable position coach, it doesn’t matter. He has harmed this program in major, irreversible ways. He can not stay, and no organization on the planet outside of Iowa football would even consider it.

All you fucking people and your half measures. It’s the most Iowan thing possible. No half measures. Take care of the problem.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Iowa might be in better shape firing the OL coach and demoting Brian, but I don't think you can do that.

Brian needs to go.

What OC would be willing to join the staff with Brian and Kirk still in the building? Not one that’s going to be able to keep the Ferentz fingers off the the game plan.

there are numerous examples of coaches being promoted beyond their skill set, only to settle back into a role that’s a better fit.

Not at the same place where their father is the head coach.

No credible candidate would take the HC position with both Kirk and Brian on the staff. It will be hard enough to get someone good with Kirk still at HC.

lol what?

you think most new head coaches try to retain the current staff?

Sorry, typo.

Wade loves him some Garta and Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz. Thinks this is all very normal and very cool.

Brian needs to be fired

Gary has iowa athletics in as strong of a position as we’ve been in for decades.

If Gary was all that he wouldn’t be afraid to do his job and fire Brian.

He’s had 16 years to run out all the lesbians.

Thats what I said, numbnuts. But you still found cause to argue with a position you agree with.

 

[Herky823]

Am I reading this right that Georgia is the best defense in the country? Illinois and tOSU don't count - they got to play Iowa

 

[Alan Lomax]

Everyone associated with this should go find something else to do somewhere else. And yes, fucking Barta should clear them out. Pay the buyout if necessary, the handling of the offense the last 5 years has been fucking ridiculous. The last two reached a lower level, and this year is unconscionable. Kirk’s been great, glad he’s been here, if he doesn’t retire he can get fucked and be fired.

 

[HawkBall23]

I think Brian is a selfish fucker and will stay on under the guise of not quitting. A QB coach and/or passing game coordinator may be foisted upon him. Kirk will continue to claim he’s a “good coach”. Garta will shrug his shoulders in resignation without consequence.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He’s had 16 years to run out all the lesbians.

lol. Yes, he hates “the lesbians”. Which is why the womens coaches love him.

Barta literally got sued because he looked the other way for “the lesbians” for years after taking over.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If Gary was all that he wouldn’t be afraid to do his job and fire Brian.

Lol
