I hope the each have no more then 5 wins or less. Can dream.

I want to see the Hawks go to Boise to play on that freaking blue turf so one of our fans at a warm destination bowl game can hold up a sign on national tv ridiculing them for playing in that worthless bowl.
The only thing is had the ref called interference instead of ruling fumble, I could see us winning in 24-6 or something like that. That play killed a lot of our momentum

Ok hear me out. Iowa needs to win at least 7 games. I prefer an over the hill Ferentz vs them catching lightning in a bottle with their next hire.
Agree, I have watched more of their stuff this year, and what I have seen only makes me question their rating system more and more.
I would like to know what some of their criteria is, because some of their rankings seems really off. I am sure its probably available, I just have not had enough interest to look, but it does not seem like its always very accurate to reality.
Look up how they do things. One person rates every player for every play and then a supervisor who understands more double checks about 8 people’s stuff and sees if something is out of whack. This is all inputted by the next day.
1) how do they see every player on every play?
2) how do they know the assignment?
3) how does this all get done within a half a day or so?
Ah so it is not really stat based, just perception based?
So basically its about as useful as the AP poll.
Why, they are not going to fire the guy, he has built up too much good will to fire him and move on, and even if they did, his buyout is $24 million, they do not have the money to buy him out. What we want is for him to stick around and bury the program, which is entirely possible, he is very stubborn and will not retire and go away. We want them to go the next four years struggling to get to .500, all the while the cyclones are getting 9 to 11 win seasons, high school kids in the state want to go to Ames not IC, and their fan base starts to act in football like they did for their bb team and stop showing up. Then when free rents walks away, we want them to go through a coach or two that makes them even worse. The old B10 west is not coming back, looking at their schedule next years its not going to be any better and they lose a lot of their better players. New QB, two of the best O lineman, same thing on the defense line, they lose one of either their punter or field goal kicker. This is the start of the end of them, and some in their fan base is starting to realize it.
Yeah the only thing we whiffed on was giving the country another FG/field position competition in this series. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing style to gather the casuals in that time slot. The stadium and atmosphere looked great though. Iowa being a laughingstock does not help this series nationally.
Nah. I'd rather roll the dice. They're due for a bad hire. I want to see a return to 60-70s Iowa football. Two decades of futility.
Doesn't he still get a performance bonus at 7 wins? I think they keep him if only wins 3.
It’s actually not much roll of dice, either have a good hire like free rent and win three out of four, or someone like frank lautabur and win four of four.
Wikipedia is never a reliable source, so not convinced this is correct. I do know it has been very inconsistently interpreted by refs over the years.
They're not beating Nebraska or USC and probably not Minny. 5-7.
5-6 wins next few years. Just enough to keep him around. Preferably with no or low tier bowl games. I like another poster's idea to send them to Boise.
Was at a bar for the ISU game and the first quarter of the Iowa game. ISU fan fist bumps me and said “4-0 baby.” Two Hawk fans sitting there chirped me saying congrats on squeaking by Ark State. I said “Didn’t we just beat you guys last week?” They then said a bunch of stuff about how they suck and they’re not that good.
I didn’t even say anything to these guys but they HAD to say something to me. I shook hands with the ISU fan and told the Iowa fans to enjoy Kirk’s monumental win.
