I bought a car 15 years ago. Turns out, the car is a piece of shit and I overpaid for it. But I'm not going to go out looking at new cars, or even good certified used cars, because I am positive that I'll end up with another piece of shit car. It won't matter how thoroughly I search and how deeply I vet the new car; it'll be a piece of shit and I'll be moar miserable, guaranteed. And honestly, next week could be the week that the car breaks it's habits and turns into a sweet, smooth running machine that will be revolutionary and bring you much success on the road to freedom.. 'Murica.

pure 24 karat gold right there BUT WE CAN'T DO BETTER!! WE'LL SURELY BE ILLANNOY IF WE LAUNCH A SEARCH FOR A NEW HEAD BALL COACH! IT IS INEVITABLE, THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF IOWA LANDING A GUY LIKE CHRIS PETERSEN OR ART BRILES OR MARK DANTONIO OR CHIP KELLY OR EVEN BRIAN KELLY!! NO POSSIBILITY, I TELL YOU!!!!!!! You were saying? www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football-rick-brown/2014/09/16/kirk-ferentz-fan-base-vitriol-similar-to-tom-davis-in-basketball/15738849/Ah yes...accept mediocrity, and operate out of fear. That's a surefire formula for superior results. Here's a secret, a dirty little secret: It's ok to fail a lot. Ask Abe Lincoln, or Teddy Roosevelt, or Steve Jobs, or someone alive. Elon Musk, perhaps. The Google guys. I bet they've failed a lot. How about the .350 MLB hitter? That fuck fails 65% of the time, and he's a fucking All Star. You can fail a lot and still kick ass. You throw deep 8 times and connect on 2? You're failing, and winning. You apply to 4 Ivy League schools and get into one? You're failing, and winning. You whiff on two pitches and hit the third in the upper deck? You're failing, and winning. Settling for mediocrity isn't risk avoidance. It's worse than risk: It's guaranteeing failure without the possibility of success.

All i am saying is that given our track record and that of illinois (and others), switching horses is far from guaranteed to yield the intended results.
Next level here we come.

I'd say moar often than not you get fucked and the "next level" is only attainable if you are historically elite or have a major fucking benefactor who is figuring out how to buy recruits (e.g., Oregon and Okie State). Nebraska post Tom Osborne Michigan post Lloyd Carr Illinois post Mackovic Purdue post Tiller Minnesota bince liek mah whole life, though Kill seems okay Notre Dame post Holtz The only fucking school near here in our conference that actually got good when it underwent a regime change was Wisconsin. Sparty was also smart for getting rid of Smith, but he was objectively fucking a million times worse than Kurt. I guess you could throw Mizzou and K-State under Snyder in as well if you want to cover the whole Midwest. Look at Kansas poast-Mangenius. Fuck me, look, I am sick to death of Ferentz's shit, but the only thing that scares me moar than Ferentz staying is the composition of the "search committee" that would be convened, where some fucking Angry Studies prof is the god damned swing vote to decide which of the knucklescrapers Barta lines up should take over the program. Talk to folks in the know about how we ended up with Kurt instead of Bob Stoops and tell me if you want to risk that again. 4-8 could look mighty fucking appealing, dudes. Iowa is a fucking terrible job because you have to go to I-Club events all over bumblefuck and deal with a bunch of fucking retards.

I don't remember anyone ever saying we CAN'T do better. It's just not really that likely. It's like our basketball team. How many coaches we gonna run through that are just gonna keep us at mediocre? 4 million reasons, right? Jesus, enough about the salary already. It was a bad contract, but fuck, you think the 2 mil they could save is really gonna make a difference?
Davis sucks. We get it. I'd really like to know if he is telling Riddick to check down every throw. Did anyone ask that at the presser? Cuz I saw one possession from that long haired fella, and he threw it deep more than riddick did the entire game against Ballsdeep St. Bite the big one and put in another QB if that fucker don't wanna do what ya need him to do.

It's a shame that KF and Stoops are friends or at the very least have mad respect for each other as I would put out the feelers before doing anything to Bob's "people" to see what his thoughts were coming "home" to a place that he has said a thousand times he loves to death. Get his family back to the midwest and go into Ohio and recruit the everloving shit out of that state and tell Meyer to bend the fuck over as we are coming for you. Plus his 15 years down south I'm sure he has plenty of HS coaches that would throw guys his way left and right.
He is about the only true "elite" coach that Iowa has a shot at getting (and it's a long fucking shot by the way) other than that you are talking long odds to find the right guy. I'm not saying don't do it but don't just go in blind and expect to stumble onto someone that is going to be the right guy.
The sad part if KF would have won 10 of the 11 games that Iowa has lost as double digit favorites since 06 (like almost every other team in the conference has) we probably aren't having this conversation and have a hell of a lot better seasons over the last 8 years.

Yes. I would agree to a coaching change immediately if we had a countersigned signature page from Bob Stoops promising to come to Iowa City for 10 years to finish out his career.

The stoops we have a shot with is Mark. He wood be a great fit too.

Don't care much for the guy, but I bet he'd make a habit of embarrassing the shit out of the Clowns. Plus his old lady is nice to look at. And he would also love sticking it up his former boss/mentor's ass every year up at Wisconsin. Plus Fayetteville vs. Iowa fucking City? Not even a contest. But I also think that is as much a pipe dream as Stoops. Also they are coming off a game where they threw the ball a grand total of 12 times. Ain't sexy enough for Iowa fans.

That's not what he was fucking saying, it was that Biels wouldn't lose to a shitty team that he was double digit favorites to beat time and time again. As I posted above KF has 11 loses to teams Iowa was favored by 10 or more points since 2006 The straight up record in those games- Iowa- 28-11 Wisc- 48-1 Mich- 36-1 PSU- 38-0 OSU- 63-3 MSU- 30-3 Neb- 45-6 (that's the next most losses in the big 10)

Or Jim Leavitt. Who would get it done and prolly take the job for half of what we pay Kurt to boot. Yeah who wouldn't want that guy coaching their team- On January 8, 2010, Leavitt was fired after an investigation by USF officials found that he had struck a player in the locker room during halftime of a game against Louisville the previous November 21. Leavitt claimed he was merely trying to console the player and never struck him. School officials found that Leavitt was not truthful about what happened, and also found that he had interfered with the investigation.[8] ESPN's Ivan Maisel reported that Leavitt's interference, which included telling several players and coaches to change their stories, was the biggest factor in the decision to fire him.[9] The Tampa Tribune reported that school president Judy Genshaft and athletic director Doug Woolard felt they had no choice but to fire Leavitt after he refused to admit he had done anything wrong
