Re: What season will be Kirk Ferentz' last at Iowa? | |
Personally, I don't forget about his 3 top 10 finsihes at all! The guy is a ridiculous good coach, and recruiter. On top of that, he seems to be a better man. I think the thing that got him in this position was his loyalty to his coaches, most importantly his coordinaters. KOK and Norm Parker are both outdated in their systems, evem though they worked until 03 amd even. 04. College football changed quickly, and Iowa didn't. I think he felt pressure to go after higher level recruits, that may have had some baggage. He decided not to change from his phillosophy, so to compete he went after a few iffy characters. They will be ok, but probably won't reach the level they were at.
I'm the biggest clone fan, and I think we have Kirks #. I still respect him, but I think in the next year he will have to make a change at the OC and DC, or else he will go within a couple. He was offered the u of M job twice, and didn't accept for a reason. He thinks he will get it turned around in IC, we shall see.....go clones! Posted via Mobile Device |
