Ok I admit... I have no idea who that is.

Head coach Iowa Hawkeyes NCAA

Iowa's Football Coach I believe. He has done a great job there, but he is still a college coach. I feel the same about Stoops.

college coaches can stay in college imo.

Same here until I read the whole thread ands see where it was mentioned he was the Iowa coach.

Ferentz was once Belicheks O Line coach in Cleveland.
He knows the Pro game.

As much as I'd hate to see him leave Iowa, I'd be thrilled if he bacame the Chiefs HC.

He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it.

We CANNOT afford to start off 1-3 or 0-4. Of course, I'm not really worried, I see us going 2-2 at worst.

My words. Which is why I edited.

I did not know of his Pro Game experience, thanks for the information. It makes me feel a little better. When I here of College Coaches I can not help but think of what happened to the Redskins when a College Icon took over.

Ferentz spent a few years as Bill Belichik's assistant and also helped build the Ravens offensive line. Jonathon Ogden still gives him credit for what he did for his game.

Ferentz knows the pro game, and more specifically he knows that games are won in the trenches.

Ok well then get over it. Everyone seems to be focused on the negative of last year. Personally I think we can go 1-3 and still kick ass. But I am just getting tired of people already glooming and dooming and we haven't taken 1 snap yet, that's all.

I agree with your history comment, but my glass is almost always half full.
If we started 0-4 or 1-3 I would probably have to check in to Rehab anyway.

No offense, but this is NOTHING compared to years past around here.

You'll get used to it.

Wait until TG's first interception.

Total chaos.

I'm not glooming and dooming, nor am I focused on the negative of last year.

I'm merely stating a statistical fact -- only one team has started 1-3 and still made it to the Super Bowl.

I have a degree in History, and cannot just ignore the above. It's just not in my nature.

Like I said, I feel STRONGLY that we cannot start any worse than 2-2. However, I also feel STRONGLY that we WILL NOT start any worse than 2-2. :thumb:
