2024 Iowa Season thread

Why isn't Cade McNamara suspended too?

The rules are in regard to conduct by coaches.

Cade got his karma last season

Kirk Ferentz and Iowa AD Beth Geotz just had a press conference.  Lots of good info


Seth Wallace. Who was recemtly promoted to assistant head coach in the off season,  will be the acting head coach against Illinois St

This is a self-imposed penalty by Iowa.

If season started tomorrow. The QB order will be
1. Cade
2. Brendan
3. Marco

“I frequently tell our players to abide by the rules, and in this instance, I did not. In 26 years as a head coach at Iowa -- and more than four decades as a coach -- this is my first potential Level II NCAA infraction. I made a mistake and would like to apologize to our players, University leadership, and our Hawkeye football fans. I know Coach Budmayr echoes those sentiments.”

Kirk says he will probably just stay home on that Saturday. 

This might be a chance for Kirk to catch up on those YouTube and TikTok videos he has been meaning to check out.

I have always thought him a straight shooter.  Respect for owning it.    👍

Kirk Ferentz is one win away from reaching 200 wins at Iowa. Not seeing much media buzz about this, and there was buzz when he reached 200 total wins (combining his 3 years coaching Maine in the early 90s). 

Two likely reasons for this: 

1) Iowa is off this week; next game isn’t until October 5. And it’s @ Ohio State - not a likely win. Could be well into next month before Ferentz reaches this milestone.

2) With Ferentz suspended for the first game, does this technically put his current win total at Iowa down to 198? 

For the past half decade I’ve been of the opinion that Ferentz wants to reach 200 wins before giving serious consideration to stepping away.

As I recall, the sports reports were that Kirk Ferentz receives credit for a win for the game he was suspended.
He has a good chance of tying or exceeding Woody Hayes win total this season. I suspect he will be back next season. There are no publicized health issues.
