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

he might, after the season. Firing Brian accomplishes nothing right now.

i thought he should defer entirely to his boss, Kirk Ferentz

 

[L. Wade Childress]

he will.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t know a single person who thinks BF is back next year.

 

[Gushawk]

where’s he going and for how much?

[L. Wade Childress]

No clue. I just don’t think he’s back here.

 

[Hawkstrat]

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.

Interesting interpretation

10/10 WOB from TOS

This play is a microorganism of the whole offense

 

[Herky823]

Find somebody who loves you like LWade loves Barta

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Find somebody who loves you like LWade loves Barta

this entire situation is on Kirk and no one else.

 

[Gushawk]

Duh, Mary has Gary’s balls in her purse.

 

[Debit One]

this entire situation is on Kirk and no one else.

1. Kirk didn’t write his own contract extension.
2. Barta is the one person who can force a change at OC.

He isn’t without responsibility.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Extension!!!!

jfc, it’s irrelevant.

 

[Kamala]

Correct. It is on Kirk. But it’s also on Gary

 

[Geese]

I don’t know a single person who thinks BF is back next year.

Literally? Not one?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I hope he’s not back but I fear he will be.

 

[ClintWalker]

He will be back....certainly.

 

[Kamala]

I don’t know a single person who thinks BF is back next year.

Do you think we care about what your friends think?

 

[Debit One]

Extension!!!!

It is relevant because KF has $42M reasons to not give a fuck what Barta might develop the balls to ask of him.

L. Wade is actually right on this one. Ferentz isn't holding a $42m buyout over the school.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Do you think we care about what your friends think?

i mean, it just depends if you want to know what’s going to happen or not.

 

[Debit One]

L. Wade is actually right on this one. Ferentz isn't holding a $42m buyout over the school.

Why is that provision even present in KF’s contract if it isn’t relevant?

 

[douglasbader]

Why is that provision even present in KF’s contract if it isn’t relevant?

Because it is pretty standard contract language.

Aren't you supposed to be a super important business guy?

 

[Alan Lomax]

Why is that provision even present in KF’s contract if it isn’t relevant?

Absolute best case is a weird ego thing I don’t love, and it somehow makes his agent money

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Jesus fucking Christ

 

[Debit One]

Oh, I understand the purpose of a contract buyout figure.

No, KF isn’t actively holding it over anyone’s head.

Yes, it does make it just a wee bit easier for him to ignore whatever directives he might receive from his boss, Gary Barta.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

KF is closing in on being paid $100m by the University if he's not already there.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Jesus fucking Christ

Does anyone have a copy of Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz's contract? I'd like to post it here

 

[douglasbader]

Thank you, then what you said earlier was dumb.

“on this one” seems to indicate that I am not always right, which is fucking stupid.

From TOS

Captain Noonan. Was actually one of the best contributors in the famed "Mulva" thread from 2002. Hadn't seen his handle in years, but everything he has posted this fall has been pretty cringeworthy.

You just described Iowas offense.

 

[coff]

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

Good, because no one cares.

 

[Whatever]

The ultimate Ferentz special would be this team running the table and making it to the Giant Douche Championship again. Illinois has a tough enough schedule left to lose three more games. Choo Choo motherfuckers!!!@#@#!

stop it

Leistekow hearing Peaches will start this week.

LMAO. Get toxic, Kin-nick.

This would be an unfathomably poor decision.

 

[Debit One]

LMAO. Get toxic, Kin-nick.

What is the Kin-nick thing all about?

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Leistekow hearing Peaches will start this week.

 

[Debit One]

The $42M buyout doesn't matter.

 

[Gushawk]

What is the Kin-nick thing all about?

I believe it emanates from loog’s push-up challenge issued to the looker

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Is this a chance for KF to give Spencer his best chance for success this season and nothing more than that?

The hope is that he'll be something other than the worst QB in America and then be done with him for the year?

LOL. That's not what it is, but that's what I'm going to tell myself.

 

[MikeyJoe]

What an unfathomable "fuck you" that would be. I legitimately hope that's not true.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Leistekow hearing Peaches will start this week.

This is always what was going to happen, and anyone thinking otherwise was being foolish

I mean holy shit. Not prepping Padilla to be #1 during the bye week, throwing him out in a 2nd quarter deficit at Ohio fucking State and then giving the ball back to Petras to play against Northwestern at home would be truly unbelievable.

 

[The Tin Man]

 

[AZmessDAWG]

That’s terrible.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

100 percent Kurt ask Petras to use his Covid year
