ORLANDO, Fla. — After the Iowa football team lost its second straight game to fall to 10-4 on the season, many of the Black and Gold took to social media to voice their frustrations with head coach Kirk Ferentz, offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, quarterback Deacon Hill, and more.
Look I respect the hell out of Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa football program. But anyone that votes them top 25 in the final AP Poll needs to lose their voting rights.

I can see why Brian and Kirk didn’t play Lainez. He’s improvising these plays and not following the Ferentz standard. Too much of a loose cannon, can’t have that in Iowa football

Kirk Ferentz seems to be at his best when the fans are ready to be done. Things are quite toxic right now. 2024 is another “gut check” year for Iowa football.

As Kirk would say “that’s some good football” https://t.co/jz9HAqv3bF

Iowa Football’s Nepotism runs much deeper than Kirk Ferentz hiring and refusing to fire his son at the helm of the worst offense in D1 football.
His son-in-law Tyler Barnes is head of football recruiting.
Tyler helped land QB Deacon Hill!

I’m just ready for change. Ready for something new. Hawkeye football is the blandest brand in the country. If Kirk announced his retirement tomorrow, I would be excited.

Good Afternoon, “2023 Iowa football” was a 20 week sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our Study. Thank you for your time.

Iowa is an amazing football program. Every year they have two-thirds of a national title level team but their absolute refusal to get that other third over high school quality never allows them to be an actual contender.
I don’t think there’s another team like them in sports.

Iowa has accomplished what no 10 win team in history of CFB has accomplished by being shut out three times. That’s football.
