Kirk Ferentz either needs to give back 60% of his salary, or resign. He is being paid more than several coaches who have won national championships. Either he gives the Iowa fans a national championship, or he gives back his salary.

Give back his salary why? It isn't that Iowa played that horribly, it's just that Ohio State is that good.

And you DO have a couple Big Ten championships to his credit. He did bring that program back from the abyss....

Let me give you an insight into growing up and Iowan all of my life. This state has no pro sports teams. Life sucks in this abysmal state. There are no vibrant large cities, no oceans, no mountains; the land is flat and boring looking. The weather here is horrible, bitter cold 8 months out of the year. The economy the last 50 years has been pitiful; people leave this state by the thousands every year. Our median income is one of the lowest in the country. Our average age of a citizen is about 68 years old. All we have to grasp on to in this state is having a great U of Iowa football team. Thats it. We have nothing else. So we expect more out of a coach who is being paid a hell of a lot of money.
