This really hit me when I was down in WI for that game.  Through my nephew I talked with some guys who have contact with present and past coaches.  Bielema and Ryan had better success but I would not ever want them to be coaches at Iowa. Character still counts for me.

Now the Saints have won 8 in a row and Brees should play until he is 45, the coach is the best in history, and the GM is a genius

Some years they will be slightly better and some seasons they will be slightly worse.  Do you think that we can get a coach will consistently win 9 games a year? Kirk and Hayden are two Hall of Fame coaches and they could not.  If we fire Kirk who do we get that will do better? Maybe we get a Matt Campbell but maybe we get a Todd Lickliter.  And I don't think a Matt Campbell does any better than Kirk or Hayden.  He just gives us a change.
