Although the whole NFL thing has been somewhat of overkill on the boards - I think there is something to it affecting the Iowa program. KF is an NFL guy - spent many of his coaching years in the NFL - very respected in NFL community - most of his supposed mentors are NFL guys. I respect that...

It is tough for me to point the finger at a position coach. However, last years' DL boasted two current NFL starters, and they were generally ineffective and as a whole regressed. The DL this year is very, very inexperienced and undersized - I get that. However, Iowa's DL has been...

I could be wrong, but I think he took over for Aiken when he left - so around 5 years? I am not positive on that.

Believe me, I have been very, very critical of the coaching staff. But, at this point, I think it is very much overboard for people to be calling for KF to be fired. As of right now it definitely is not warranted. If Iowa loses out (or maybe wins one more) does he get fired? No way. I do...

You may be right Seattle, but two days after the game it could be lost on most people too. This is a big issue in my mind - worth discussion whether the Hawks win or lose. There were obviously some great things that came from today's game, and people aren't afraid to put the Hawkeye glasses on...

Let's agree on this scotty - Iowa loses a game this year similar to Wisky and Northwestern last year the issue will come up in a thread. You agree to stay off the thread, because you will not have the ability to add anything to the conversation.

You are right. Clearly, a conversation with you will not win a football game at any time or any level. I didn't realize there was a rule on the board that all conversation had to be pro staff. I didn't realize citing a weakness was against the hawkeyestumps rules. Thank you for your time...

Read the last part of the post - this was not a bash on the coaches. But, if you know the game at all you understand that games like this are when you work on things that will be the difference in winning games or not. If you have watched Iowa the past couple years you also know that clock...

I still get frustrated with this staff and their clock management skills. We have seen this too many times. Before half Iowa plays it conservative before halftime (which I agree with) until Coker pops one out to midfield. They then go to the gun and look to get in field goal range (again I...

I don't care who you are cheering for - this is the worst officiating I have ever seen in a championship game. Brutal.

A couple "ho-hum" posts.

Ever consider his record at those schools could be a little deceiving if he had to go in and rebuild? He has taken all three schools to the NCAA tournament. He is a proven successful coach.

Dixon will end up at Oregon. They will offer cash and more cash.

Disappointing end for Dennis, but a great tournament for him. He is just another piece of the CHAMPIONSHIP puzzle.

Montell just lost to a damn good wrestler. If your disappointed in his second place finish then you have no clue.

How has Drake been since Keno left? About as good as Providence.

Good. I think Iowa can expect more than a one hit wonder. Drake has recruited better since he left. Keno needs to stay at Providence.

Personally, at this point I hope Barta brings in a guy that is looking at greener pastures in 2-3-4 years. If that is the case, then he obviously is getting done at Iowa to get looks from others. Any coach that turns the program around in a short time will make the next hire a lot easier.

I was at the Final Four the year after Pearl's first year at Tennessee. I ended up at the hotel lobby where all the coaches hang out. He saw my buddy wearing an Iowa cap, so he came over and talked to us. He absolutely loves Iowa. I said to him that I was disappointed that he went to...

I can't believe Keno is an automatic. Is the potential there that he was a one year wonder? Absolutely. I am not saying he was/is, but the Iowa job is a good job and should attract some very good candidates. I would really question if he is hired right away.
