Will Ferentz get fired before season starts?

Do you think KF will make it to coach in the 2008 season after the recent player problems?

ISUAlum2002 · 02-24-2008, 10:08 PM

Yes, he will coach this year. No, he will not be fired.

isucyclone4 · 02-24-2008, 10:09 PM

Will KF be iowa's coach in 2008? yes, unless something totally unknown pops up. But he won't get canned for the plethora of off the field problems of his players.

PS - I love it when some idiot starts with a Q in the thread title and then asks a Q opposite of it in the body...(just playing with ya LGS, cuz I am an idiot who has done it b4.)

The dude just got a 1 yr extension and is now sipping cocktails with his boss on some fat cruise ship. He's not going anywhere this season and that's fine by me. I can't wait to hear him and his team get booed off the field when we lay the wood to them this coming September.

And, yes SoHawk, I do believe we will lay the wood.....

I hate to see any coach with a 3-6 record against us get fired.

And I don't believe he's in jeopardy now....but more criminal charges could change things. After Iowa goes 4-8 or 5-7 next year, he's on the hot seat for sure. But I'm not sure he really cares...he's got a 5 year contract at $3 million per year, so what are they gonna do? They were doubting they could come up with $2 million to buy out Alford, how would they come up with $15 million to buy out Kirk?

Cymaster · 02-24-2008, 10:17 PM

So far there are two people that think he will be fired. Please explain to me why you think this is. He was just awarded a one year extension. I know the terms of the contract haven't changed, but still....

How can there even be a question about it?????

They could offer him free housing for life instead of the buyout, but I guess he's already used to that so doubt he would be down with that........

He will be the coach next year and the year after that and the year after that.

It will be interesting to see if this latest gets action from the Regents.

whirlybirds · 02-24-2008, 10:26 PM

wish the media would pick them to win the big 10 this year, while giving them a high pre season ranking. ive never felt better in my life than in 2005 when iowa was 8th in the nation and watching them get beat down at jack trice 23-3

When does the NCAA step in to this problem at Iowa City?? I don't know if they can or if they will, but something needs to be done, because that place is getting corrupt and he's got things out of control over there.

this is the dumbest thread in cyclonefanatic history

isucyfan · 02-24-2008, 10:39 PM

I'm still working out the kinks, but I feel I have a good start on how to properly compensate KF on an incentive basis:

(Base salary)+(Endorsements)-$250,000(number of felony charges by players)-$50,000(number of misdemeanors by players)-$1,000,000(number of losses on Senior Day with a bowl game riding on it where his own players get booed)

HE has won more big ten titles in the last 9 years the Cyclone have won Big 8 or Big 12 titles in the last 100 years so i am sure he is safe
