My expectations are that Iowa will basically be a 7-8 win team. 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.
