Kirk is finally having to come to terms with his deficiency of being overly loyal. I don't judge him for his decisions concerning his son because he's always had an issue choosing talent over tenure. I'm just glad the university made the decision he couldn't make. Let's call Bob Stoops. All is well, let's just move forward now.
Kirk is an incredible coach and a tremendous man of integrity with the kids overall and I am proud to be a Hawkeye. He was an assistant when I played and hardest working guy I know. He has been a beacon for Iowa. We can be upset at times, no one better for the Hawkeyes. ON IOWA! GO HAWKS!
Enabler! Integrity? Nepotism is not the American way nor is racial discrimination. Kirk’s arrogance is a bit much for me. He thinks he’s irreplaceable. Lol
Absolutely ridiculous. He has abused his position at Iowa by enabling his son's ineptitude and even now, he's angry because he wanted to let it continue. Worst case of nepotism in NCAA football. He should've walked away 10+ years ago.
if i was Labas i would transfer just like Padilla did. that’s so insulting to him to say that there’s a clear 1, 2, 3 after Deacon has played the way he has. go watch the bowl highlights when Labas played. he clearly has more natural talent
Well should we stay put and keep dragging shit out, come on the deed is done now let's move on like adults, oh wait I forgot I live in a generation full of soft opinionated fools who can't move on because life is too hard for them.
Well said @davidderoma3002. Integrity is not even in the top 10 with many teams, so for all those "grass is always greener:" people, be careful what you ask for. The University is far more then just a football team. "Kirk is an incredible coach and a tremendous man of integrity with the kids overall and I am proud to be a Hawkeye. He was an assistant when I played and hardest working guy I know. He has been a beacon for Iowa. We can be upset at times, no one better for the Hawkeyes. ON IOWA! GO HAWKS!"
Except that Ferentz lets better players languish on the bench behind inferior players. QB Joe Labas or Marco Lainez would be better. Hill had 12 yds in the 2nd half in the last game. But Ferentz isn't ready to bench him. Kirk needs to go.
I feel so badly about this. I have crazy respect for Coach, like most Iowans. But, Coach put himself, the program, and all of us in this predicament by hiring his son as part of the braintrust for the program. It's like fishing off the company ship; things might work out, but such behavior is frowned upon because of the fallout in the situations when things don't work out. By some standards internal to the program, Brian may have been doing a great job. But, for us to have one of the worst offenses in the country, YEARS RUNNING, says something completely different...and the conclusion is data-driven, and out in the open for everyone to see, week after week, excuse after excuse, evaluation after evaluation, reassurance after reassurance, commitment to change after commitment to change. Coach, please remember, the reason we stuck with you in the early years is because your teams showed promise and improvement, despite the W-L record lagging behind. With Brian, we're 7 years in, right? 3 consecutive years with no workable Plan A and apparent lack of Plan B. OPPORTUNITY LOST. 3 years in a row of playing with one arm tied behind our back. Enough.
You guys all hurt with his answers and are praising Beth. Sure, he put himself in this situation, but whatever, it is what it is. Everyone already knew Brian was gonna get fired at the end of the year. I can see Kirk's point that he'd rather wait till the end of the year so its not a distraction. Makes sense.
What??? NO!!!!!! What makes you think that he finally would've axed him??? He is still claiming that Hill is doing a good job! Ferentz has lost touch w. reality and his overloyalty for people that don't deserve it is baffling. Wish Kirk would've been fired too.
Kirk Ferentz has done a great job as HC on many factors. One of them definitely doesn’t match the past HC, Hayden Fry, by placing/developing coaching staff, and building a “coaching tree”. I found the best question during one of the most crucial interviews of Kirk, was at 22:41 by the “Athletic”. Kirk has become extremely seasoned at responding and answering questions……but, during his answer, he exposed his mentality of giving up an offensive series, and punting the ball to the opponent, at nearly any mishap or 1 good play by the opponents defense. This mentality needs eradicated from the offense, and fight for that first down.
Kirk is absolutely correct this should not have been done mid-season it should have been done before the season! Brian could have been moved to something he has proven he can be successful at like like coach and moved someone better suited to be QB coach and OC. Brian might be a great asset but it wasn't helping him or the team in his current position and that was on Kirk for not being willing to make that decision and making someone else make it for him.
I don’t have a problem with a coach, hiring a family member so long as that family member is qualified, and then the standards for that coach need to be a bit stricter and/or higher than the other coaches.
@@KevinMDowneyBrian was a great O-Line coach. He wasn't ready for the Head job yet, shame on Kirk. That being said, The Ferentz Family is corrupt to the core.
Oh he’s still getting paid and on the job to the end of the season. Which means transfers and players de-committing due to uncertainty as Kirk will not even think about a replacement until then. I loved Fry I like Kirk. Kirk built his house on Fry’s accomplishments. Should have ripped off the band-aid with Brian and named an interim.
I can't believe there was not a question about the call last game with Cooper? If coach had heard anymore from the NCAA with a better explanation or any better excuses about that horrible call?
The decision by the interim AD not wrong but time to announce was. Thx to her bad timing, it is now a distraction. She still learning and should stay as an associate.
Whoa calm down there tiger. I don’t see Lainez transferring and we got a 4 star in James resar coming next year. Give them 2 a year under cade and they can learn a lot. Needa move on from kirks offensive scheme tho
@@coleouellette7829 Like Padilla Learned a lot, and where he currently not --- I pray I'm wrong, But I think KF will find another QB to favor all the backups,!
@@DaanaTS no I’m on your side here. I think Kirk needs to go as well. But remember Padilla sat behind arguably the worst Qb to suit up for iowa. Nothing he was able to learn from. Kirk and Brian both need to be gone but getting rid of Brian and letting cade run a fresh offense is a start. Then one of the yungens can take over after or maybe we’ll get lucky and bring in another transfer
“What’s the upside of keeping Brian Kirk?” Why so saaaaaallllllllttttty 😂! Ya played yourself Kirk and tried to skirt the nepotism policy with ol buddy Barta who had no spine and treated you like a god, and you’ve been given free reign for far too long.. your absolutely right Kirk there is a chain of command. And now you know where you stand in it.. Beth has more balls then the guys who held that position before her.. thank you Beth for doing what should of been done years ago. Kirk, if you wanna leave, take your ball and go home over your incompetent son earning in every way possible his termination….. deuces Kirk
This is how to say you're pissed off about it without saying you're pissed off about it. Fire Kirk next, please. The conservative approach is NOT WORKING.
I like Kirk. But as an Iowa fan, this press conference was insulting to every Hawkeye fan. Nothing will change until Kirk walks out the door. He is not a 2023 hc that i would have confidence in.
And all these people that think we just move on and all will be just fine if Kirk gets canned too, what aa joke. Are you kidding me? You have a prime example right next door to your west about what happens to a program when you fire a successful coach.
He still doesn't see what good QB play is ...its unreal....Hill is starting AGAIN ????? Kirk needs to retire. Hell, give Lainez a try...nobody can be worse than Hill..he's dead last in the B1G and the NCAA...good lord Kirk lol. He's done...fire him.
This isn’t about getting rid of the OC. If that was the case, the interim AD would have waited until after the season was over. This is about getting rid of the head coach. The reporter who asked if big donors had put pressure on her was spot on. If this is how she is going to operate then Iowa athletics is in for a big step backwards. Ferentz doesn’t win pretty but he wins AND runs a class operation. The INTERIM AD just showed up a ‘future hall of fame coach’ (according to her) and showed herself to be conniving schemer.
Wrong and one of the most clueless, self embarrassing, idiotic diatribes I've ever read. Kirk should've been fired TEN YEARS AGO. Even here she did him a favor by not firing him and humiliating him even though he deserves it for his shameless nepotism. He was so conniving and desperate to force his son as HC that he ignored Brian's blatant ineptitude and repeated failures even though the offense is literally last in the nation. Also, he has screwed over the rest of the team who plays their hearts out only to get breathers for 3-4 plays. There are two better choices at QB dying to play but Ferentz lied to everybodyu's faces right here by claiming that hill is doinga good job. Barta should be embarrassed that woman has the guts to do what he clealry didn't.
@DaanaTS wow right around 13 posts are yours. All negative…move along if you do not like KF. We gotta game to play this week. All my support to the coaches and players!! Let’s go Hawks!❤
Seriously?? Just shut up if being a loser is all you care about. Ferentz is being paid $5.5 MILLION/yr to do his best, not to be on cruise control and fail repeatedly.
Coach Ferentz, you are the Iowa Hawkeyes, to me, along with the team. My friend and I saw your emotion today after our 13-10 win vs Nebraska, & he thinks your upset about your son being "fired" & that you were emotional today because you know its your final regular season game at Iowa. His perception scared me with its potential accuracy. I hope hes wrong. I hope you see your own legacy as an Iowa Hawkeye as worthy of the fight to stay coaching the Hawkeyes until you cant anymore physically/mentally take it anymore(which i hope is not now). Remember Abraham answered God's request to kill his own son. At least you werent/aren't being asked to do that. Go coach! Stay!!!!!
I am already down to where I only have watched less than half of the games this year due to the anti-Ferentz sentiment. If they run Kirk out the door too, I'm done.
Coach Ferentz Sorry about the way you have been treated by Beth, your ex assistant Coach & all the want to be armchair Coaches. Great timing for you, I'm sure. 🙄 You have proven to the Country over & over again with all your winning seasons that you know what to do & when.
I respect Kirk but being bottom 10 in offense for three years straight is inexcusable. Sometimes the game passes coaches by and it seems like that’s what’s happened to Kirk when it comes to the offensive side of things.
I understand the frustration 💯 Just remember, probably 95% of football fans would love to have the Iowa wins on Saturday year after year Kirk has given. @@livtoskate
LOL what??? NO!!!! It's arguably the best because Ferentz was content to keep driving the program over a cliff just to make sure his son got paid. He put his son's salary ahead of his job as head coach.
Brian could have been moved to offensive line coach, that's where he is best suited and most needed right now. Completely running him out the door is a travesty. Kirk doesn't deserve to be treated with such blatant disrespect. And all the people that say he should have fired his own son or shouldn't have hired him in the first place would be interested to see them follow through if shoe were on the same foot. And also you can't complain about how much coaches get paid when you sit around all day Saturday watching all these college football games enabling them to get paid the kind of money that they get. Can't complain if you are enabling the problem. I have watched less than half the games this season, I don't live and die with the lives of 20 year old kids and the drama surrounding their coach. It's clear they have been trying to run the Ferentz men out the door since 2020 with the Doyle scandal.
?? Hypocrite much? Or isn't this you, "Can't complain if you are enabling the problem.". Your blind support for Ferentz IS enabling the problem. Ferentz should've been fired ten years ago and has only gotten worse. He gets paid $5.5 MILLION/yr to stink up the place. He has gotten too comfortable and schemed to get his son hired as HC even though he is an abysmal failure as OC. He's lucky he wasn't fired here for his nepotism alone.
Kirk is a class act, he knows the motives of these clowns, Sure are alot of fairwether Iowa fans, for most fans they have never coached or been put in these tough positions as humans but all the sudden are experts on coaching and leading a program, this current generation sucks, all people do is whine and cry and think their opinions matter about things they know nothing or very little about grow up people.
Iowa plays boring football. The coach is boring and that translates to a boring product on the field. The state has no beaches or mountains. Just maga short bus riders.
It is reasonable to assume that the Hawkeye fan base has the desire to remove the offensive coordinator. With that, an immense amount of blame has gone to the head coach. People of iowa should know better. Look at your own life. Sports are not everything so be very careful with so much hate. Do we remember when Tom Davis was run out of town because we couldn't get past the sweet 16. We are about 25yrs from a sweet 16 appearance Any idea that someone outside of Kirk Ferentz will be better for Iowa football seems pathetically wrong.
Kirk the announcement being made in the middle of the season doesnt matter. In fact, you should have anticipated this far sooner. How are you surprised by this coach?
Was happy to see Fran play his freshmen and they did well for where they are at. Kirk, look what the rest of Iowa coaches are allowing or giving opportunities to their TEAM!
Mediocrity at its finest! Kirk's last words will be "Remember the Alamo Bowl" we won 8 games last year. Start Recruiting a QB who can actually play the game. Pay Parker more money! Stop playing nobody school's.
I'm surprised Kirk isn't chewing gum at 150 mph while bending over and writing things into his little notebook. I mean, that is proof positive that he is worth his 7 million per year. When is he going to announce that he is hiring is other two son's to take Brian's job?
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ Forget all of that Marxist garbage. As disgusted as I am w. Kirk and his shameless nepotism, no intelligent person believes that he or Doyle is racist. Some racist black players showing out for BLM criminals put a black mark on the program. Shame on those hypocrites.
Wow, when that female reporter hit Kirk with that hard hitting question about his feelings I thought Kirk was going to open up and tell us all how he felt! How did she get in the press room and I believe I heard a collective sigh of disbelief from the rest of the reporters. Amateur much, or just can’t read a room.
Things Kirk said: 1. Everybody will have a chance to play 2. Game with NW will be tight 3. Goes into detail of kid captain’s life-threatening health history. Meanwhile holds his players’ injuries in the dark like national security information.
If his first priority was to the football team, he would have replaced OC two years ago!
Mistake hiring family
Kirk is finally having to come to terms with his deficiency of being overly loyal. I don't judge him for his decisions concerning his son because he's always had an issue choosing talent over tenure. I'm just glad the university made the decision he couldn't make. Let's call Bob Stoops. All is well, let's just move forward now.

He still doesn't get it. He used the injury excuse. Thank you Beth. I feel like this would have continued without you.
Moving forward was the common theme. I believe in Iowa and it’s ability to put compelling teams on the field. LGH!

@@assassin8926don’t you forget that again!
The manner in which the Head Hawk handles this is a testament to his character. Tough situation.
Kirk a little salty about the best announcement possible for the program right now?
Deacon Hill did a nice job out there! What Game were you watching, Kirk?!?!?
I think he switched gears about who he was talking about. He was praising NW be Maryland which made it confusing. His way of evading the problems.

Nervousness by scratching at nose all the time
He must be nervous every press conference then

Kirk is a class act, he knows the motives of these clowns, Sure are alot of fairwether Iowa fans, for most fans they have never coached or been put in these tough positions as humans but all the sudden are experts on coaching and leading a program, this current generation sucks, all people do is whine and cry and think their opinions matter about things they know nothing or very little about grow up people.
I think you need to look in the mirror buddy.
@@dumbguy6843I'm not your buddy pal, I do every day, go have a look for yourself also. Coming from a dumb guy apparently lol.
The fans fund the program so their opinions do matter. Right or wrong. Especially the boosters. It's a business.
Kirk's talking out of his a$$ again... Nothing New!
Kirk and Brian should just leave now.
Bye Kirk youll go down with the whole nation laughing.
Iowa plays boring football. The coach is boring and that translates to a boring product on the field. The state has no beaches or mountains. Just maga short bus riders.
It is reasonable to assume that the Hawkeye fan base has the desire to remove the offensive coordinator. With that, an immense amount of blame has gone to the head coach.
People of iowa should know better.
Look at your own life.
Sports are not everything so be very careful with so much hate.
Do we remember when Tom Davis was run out of town because we couldn't get past the sweet 16.
We are about 25yrs from a sweet 16 appearance
Any idea that someone outside of Kirk Ferentz will be better for Iowa football seems pathetically wrong.
Does Kirk have an explanation for wasting the last 5 years of great teams just to cater to his son?
Doesn't matter. Read the comments. He has your fan base wrapped around his finger and he is above reproach. And he knows it.
Time to retire
Time to go like a team that fits your opinionated mind.
Way past time.
They ought to remove 'Interim' from Goetz's Job Title!!!
I lost count of all the times, I told my brother 'we couldn't do any worse than Petrash --- Deacon Hill sure proved me wrong, on that one, huh?
They both absolutely suck I really don't see any difference.
FACTS
What a mess the previous AD left.
Now we're jeopardizing our big 10 championship run. Terrible timing
Big Ten Championship run. 😆😆😆. Good stuff...
@@tylerneu7284 we have a chance at making it there... no chance at winning. Maybe I'm still far off.
@@Mrgui110tine🤣🤣😂😂😆😆
Given Hill's dismal Performation -- It would behoove Kirk to play Labas soon or he'll be gone before the door to the Transfer Portal closes
Kirk the announcement being made in the middle of the season doesnt matter. In fact, you should have anticipated this far sooner. How are you surprised by this coach?
Never should've tried to force his son on us.
Was happy to see Fran play his freshmen and they did well for where they are at. Kirk, look what the rest of Iowa coaches are allowing or giving opportunities to their TEAM!
It was an exhibition. You are supposed to play all of them.
And it's two completely different sports.
Really??? Wasn't aware of that.@@Waresy23
Oh, wow. Ok. Thanks.@@mrsmadpad
He gone
Mediocrity at its finest! Kirk's last words will be "Remember the Alamo Bowl" we won 8 games last year. Start Recruiting a QB who can actually play the game. Pay Parker more money! Stop playing nobody school's.
I'm surprised Kirk isn't chewing gum at 150 mph while bending over and writing things into his little notebook. I mean, that is proof positive that he is worth his 7 million per year. When is he going to announce that he is hiring is other two son's to take Brian's job?
Can't believe he has a contract thru 2030! Team gonna be hard pressed to win six every year with four pac 12 good teams coming in
Overhyped pc 12 teams...
Northwestern licking their chops.
Nothing changes, Brian only doing what dad has told/allowed him to do.
“Coach, how much have the discrimination lawsuits and disbanding the diversity council hurt recruiting black athletes on offense?”
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ Forget all of that Marxist garbage. As disgusted as I am w. Kirk and his shameless nepotism, no intelligent person believes that he or Doyle is racist. Some racist black players showing out for BLM criminals put a black mark on the program. Shame on those hypocrites.
Wow, when that female reporter hit Kirk with that hard hitting question about his feelings I thought Kirk was going to open up and tell us all how he felt! How did she get in the press room and I believe I heard a collective sigh of disbelief from the rest of the reporters. Amateur much, or just can’t read a room.
You can win w\the next 4 games --- That ain't gonna happen as long as you keep playing Hill - 3 words - Ain't Gonna Happen!!!
Such a drama queen 😂. Brian is still on the staff for the rest of the season!
he is out of sorts. discombobulated
Will Kirk leave now
Reporters are hard of hearing
You're next Kirk!!!
Things Kirk said:
1. Everybody will have a chance to play
2. Game with NW will be tight
3. Goes into detail of kid captain’s life-threatening health history. Meanwhile holds his players’ injuries in the dark like national security information.
Good job kirk. We love you! The god fatha!
Interesting that Kirk is wearing a Husker-colored tie today...
Kirk is to Hawkeyes is like the SS to Hitler!
Play Labas and have your kid dress as Steve Bartman. Chicago will love that.
