The University isn't going to buy Ferentz out people.  His job is as safe as it could possibly be.

Not a chance he gets fired.  What would his buyout be, 28-30 million?  And then we have to sign a new coach to about or more than 4 mil/ year?  Not a chance he's getting fired.  We are Iowa, we don't have that kind of cash laying around.

Ferentzlover!   Are you dissing Ferentz?   A couple of years ago I asked you and Ferentz4Governor if you were changing your screen names after people were finally catching on to the real KF.  Remember the old adage I mentioned back then:

Never get a tattoo with the name of your girlfriend and never create a screen name that professes love for the coach.

I recall you two weren't very kind with your replies to me.  
So what are you going to do about the screen name?

Hi CG,
OK, here is my come to Jeebus moment.  Wifey & I have enjoyed KF as a speaker at the I club functions.  That's what initially peaked my/our interest in him. Up until recently I dismissed the losses as flukes that he could eventually work his way out of.  Yes, I think he still has some wins in him, however the fan base (including me) is so disenchanted with the job he is doing as of late I think he has allowed things to erode past the point of no return. 

I've never been one to rip on the money he earns.  He has an excellent agent and that's how the world works.  I do have a problem with a 10 year contract.  Thought it was a poor business move at the time and now I really feel that way. 

I will profess that yes I was one of those poor kids who sat in knothole seating when I was a kid to watch Cummings ball.  This doesn't feel that low to me but its getting there.  Yes, I hate for the Hawks to lose as much as anyone.  Can't see an easy way out of this anytime soon is what bugs me as much as anything.  GB would not have consented to an interview concerning the program this week if he were not under serious pressure IMO. 

And no I haven't changed my screen name.  Too darned lazy I guess.  So for those reading this and keeping score:

*IF there was an easy way for KF to be replaced I'd be for that.
*I think a ten year gig was a huge no-no.
*$3.4M or whatever it is was what the market was at the time according to GB & Cornrich. 
So blast away.........

A lot of us would appreciate your thoughts even more, if you can put your money where your keyboard is, and if your wallet is fat.

Ferentz has a contract buyout of around $20 million or so. Let us know when you are ready to spring $20 million for the buyout, and then we will start looking for someone who can do the job for the same money or less who is better.

Gene Chizik could be on the market. He has a national championship under his belt.

I REALLY hope you are joking about this consideration.
