Thx4theMemz said:What are we? 12th in nation in victories the last decade? Odds of being better probably 10 to 15 percent with our nil.. just my guess.. Odds of being worse with next coach.. much higher obviously..I know I'm beating a dead horse, and I'm not being a KF fan boy, but what do you think are the odds of Iowa becoming an overall better program if they were to send KF packing, or he was to surprise us and retire after this season? I would put the odds at very low at finding the perfect hire, and Iowa all of the sudden becomes a top 5 big 10 program consistently. In fact I think the odds of taking a step or two back would be much higher. Thoughts?

HawkiGreg said:And to be honest, I don't think ISU is better than Iowa this season. They are a product of a solid coach with an easy conference. We have had that with the Iowa schedule over the years....Matt Campbell is winning but in an easier league than the current Big Ten.

Thx4theMemz said:Thoughts? Well here’s one: Eventually KF will no longer be here- whether after ‘26 or ‘27 or whatever. The program will move on without him whomever the new coach is. Instead of all this handwringing today, why not just focus on what’s happening now and let Beth Goetz figure it all out in time. The Iowa job will be a very attractive one when it comes open and very good candidates will be plentiful for many reasons .I know I'm beating a dead horse, and I'm not being a KF fan boy, but what do you think are the odds of Iowa becoming an overall better program if they were to send KF packing, or he was to surprise us and retire after this season?

Think this team ends up 8-4/9-3 if Gronowski is okay, and those losses are gonna hurt even worse in November. Damn.I would love nothing more than to have a home CFP game with Ferentz as coach.

Torbee said:I’ll take the chance on the 30-40%. Worst case you’re hiring another coach in 3 years and the consistency the last 50 years safe guards is from the absolute basement of relevancy…. I think60-70% likely worse. 30-40% better. Based on some numbers I ran on coaching changes in the past 20 years.
