I get that. I get that once a team become average to decent, a lot of the fan base will want more. Well, the problem is, more is not easy. More is winning multiple conference championships and winning 9-10 games nearly every year. I just don't ever see a school in Iowa doing that on a consistent basis. Those fans don't understand how hard the recruiting is to get the kids you need to do that consistently. Plus you have to get lucky with a few recruits. Iowa produces what, 5-8 D1 recruits yearly? I'm talking kids that can actually play and contribute to a big time BCS school. Kids that, if not in Iowa, would still be recruited by BCS schools. You can't build programs around that. You have to go outside to recruit, and that is, and will always be, hit and miss.
The problem is that there is such a lack of reality in these inbred tavern hawk fans.
YOU ARE NOT A NATIONAL PROGRAM!!! Hold on let me repeat that YOU ARE NOT A NATIONAL PROGRAM!!!
I don't necessarily think ol' kirkie the scum is a good in game coach, and I think that he has wasted a lot of time with tired schemes from coordinators that needed to go a bit ago.
He is completely overpaid, which is what I think is the point of contention. He makes Saban, Stoops, Brown money, but doesn't have the results.
Again the embarrassing idiot hawk fan (most of them) seems to always let their inadequacies as a human being, and COMPLETE INSECURITY, cloud their perceptions.
You seem like you at least think about being embarrassed by these idiots, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. But, the simple fact is that kirkie the scum has done an amazing job for the what that program should be entitled to thinking it should be.
BUT he has left a lot of wins on the field over the past 5 years also. Again, remember that they got EVERY conceiveable break for two years, culmination in holloway catching that pass against LSU. Breaks even out over the course of time, and they have caught up to the hawks.
And baffling lazy coaching, mccarneyesque at times.
