Hawkeye FB Coaching Changes

**alaskaguy** · 11-11-2006, 02:25 PM

There are more and more threads popping up on the Hawkeye message boards questioning whether coaching changes need to be made; some are suggesting that KF needs to go

I don't think there is a chance the KF is fired... But they might make a move with a cordinator..

It is all reactionary to the high expectations that fans had before the season (sound familiar??). The problem is that their defense never blitzes, and as slow and bad as their d-backs are, they are going to get picked apart.

They play up to, or down to the level of the teams that they play. The big thing is that they are losing the close games that they have won over the past few years.

2-5 in the Little 11. A most pleasant turn of events indeed.

I don't know if any of you watched the game, but Taint looked horrible.

Tate is a huge nutjob! Did anyone else see him spaz on that cornerback while he was walking to the sidelines?

Not as bad as his recievers did!

They are 7th in the conference right now, which it turns out is good enough for them to go to the Sugar Bowl.

Tate is a headcase and always has been. But there is NO WAY Kirk Ferentz gets the boot. If they do that is probably the dumbest move in the history of college football. As much as I HATE saying good things about Iowa; Ferentz is great coach. At least they are still going to a bowl, we can't score more than 10 points a game or give up less than 25.

The prevailing sentiment is that at a minimum a new defensive coordinator is needed, and most want DMac to fill the position

Usually they'd be in the hunt for the national championship with their record.

No doubt Kirk is a great coach, they are just having an average year.... Next year they should have a good record, they don't play OSU or Mich!! What an easy to schedule!

That's all well and good, but do they play Northwestern or Indiana? That's the real question.

I would love for Hawkeye fans call for Kirk's Head, Jamie Pollard would snap him up in a NY second. Can you imagine if the papers/internet leaked out that JP was in Iowa City...Hawkeye fans would poop their pants...HILARIOUS......HITMAN

I don't see the Hawks making any changes whatsoever. It's just a reaction to a whole bunch of inflated expectations. Their D coordinator is dealing with the loss of a couple great linebackers and a very good corner.
