As it should. You can be mediocre to downright awful and you won't only get a nice paycheck but even an extension and job security. Who wouldn't be attracted to a high-paying job that you don't have to perform well at and know you won't get fired?

I think 8 is a realistic ceiling moving forward, and that’s assuming they don’t drop a game they shouldn’t (which they seem to do once a year).
Keep in mind, Iowa makes more money than us, but they don’t compared to their Big 10 peers (the tier 2-3 B10 teams from above). There will be a segmentation of haves vs have nots in the SEC and B10 too
There is no such thing as P2. Iowa State and the Big 12 are in a GREAT spot and will be solidly the third best conference. The next TV deal will be historic despite what the a$$ hats at ESPN will tell you. ESPN needs the big 12 and the conference is going to have a ton of leverage.
I think Klieman would take that job in a heartbeat. Iowa has so many advantages that K-State doesn't. I also think he would be a great hire for Iowa and a perfect fit.
I'm in the Rhule will get it turned around camp. I'm not talking 90's Nebby football but they can definitely be an 8-10 win team annually. IMO if Rhule doesn't get it done then all hope is lost for that program.
Yeah this makes sense. But I still would much prefer a wide open look at all possible candidates who bring different styles and philosophies, and not limit it to candidates with some Iowa connection.
Klieman works for his best friend in a spot where it's going to be a lot easier to win consistently. He'll retire at K-State.
I agree, I think he was the right hire. It seems to take him 3 years so he has a couple left. As long as Iowa keeps their staff I think Rhule will be beating them in the very near future.
You might be right, but I think the difference in money between the conferences is really going to start showing in the NIL and if you aren't in one of those two, you better have a really good NIL program because your top young talent might be recruited away. We're just beginning to scratch the surface with it and the gap financially is going to widen.
I'm not sure Kleinman would be a better hire than Mark Stoops. I'd be really surprised if Mark Stoops turned down Iowa too. Be curious which people consider the better coach? I think Stoops would be a better recruiter personally
Pull of the alma mater and all, but Mark Stoops is making almost $9 million dollars with 0 expectations at a basketball school. His staff salary pool is also over $7.5 million this year (what the **** college football). Recruiting to UK in the southeast is going to be easier than at Iowa too
Some good points I'd still be surprised though if offered. I think he's taken UK as far as he can. Iowa could offer close to his salary may not be a raise like you typically get to switch jobs but it's chance to go home
Probably their fans, based on how poorly they play offense
Why in the world would stoops go to Iowa? He’s in a better conference, makes great money, is bringing in much better recruits than Iowa and has less pressure since it’s a basketball school first. Zero reason why he leaves unless Iowa makes him the highest paid coach or something.
This is amazing. Also, who is the MSU front runner while were on the subject?
