I don't think he is aggressive enough. You need that at Iowa because it is uphill. Pollard is aggressive and it shows

>> I think Barta is on record as saying that he wants to contend for championships in all sports. I am not convinced Barta is very good at identifying top coaches but he doesn't seem to stay with them for very long if they don't get results. Over time he has put together a pretty good collection of coaches who are getting better results. The exception is Ferentz where he is stuck due to the contract length and terms.

>> And yet none of the so called experts (sports writers) ever mention our lousy over-all performances. If Barta has goals for each of his teams they are very low. Perhaps he has none. Here are mine: for all teams except FB: every team in every year finish in the top ½ of the conference and once in every 3-4 years contend for the championship; FB: every year finish no worse than 3rd in the division and every 3rd year, win the division. If coaches don’t accomplish these goals, they are fired. I acknowledge that a new coach deserves additional time to get his program to this level. Dave McCoid

>> While this is not the leader in the conference, I certainly would not say we were worst, or even among the worst. Several sports had solid years. Some sports had miserable years. Some had outstanding years. The only thing missing from this list is National Championships. Other than a few elite programs, (Ohio State being the most obvious choice this year), you won’t find many ‘multiple’ championship teams at the same program consistently.

>> I have no problem pointing out our flaws, but let’s also give a fair representation. We have a long way to go, but we are not digging out of a hole here.
