I understand leaving to better yourself. But there is a right and wrong way to do that. To me, neither did it the right way.

Loyalty seems to be rare in that business. Being an Iowa fan, for better or worse, it's an issue we haven't dealt with for decades.

Here's a crazy stat. In the last 42 years Iowa's had 2 head football coaches......the rest of the Big Ten has gone through 96.


I know they don't give a rip, but I can't say I wish Riley or Kelly the best of luck.

I have three tickets at INDY FOR Sat. Have two grands at U M. IOWA IS ALWAYS TUFF. Looking forward to the game..

i think kelly will probably get beat uo, chewed up and spit out by year 2-3

riley with the young offensive mind that will fit in good on the west coast its a win win for him, while a majority of the coaches will be criss crossing the country recruiting , he'll be recruiting within 20 miles of campus and be back at his desk by lunch drawing up plays

Semi pro now with student athletes getting enriched.

Just hoping the next time Kelly jumps ship it's to Green Bay. Lawdy, would LOVE to have him as the Packers HC. The guy just knows how to get the most out of lesser talents (with which GB abounds).
Don't shiv-a-git about the NCAA, colleges, or the kids who play at them. The entire NCAA system has been a conman's monopoly game from the git-go, to enrich some fat old dudes by ripping off upcoming young talent.
Who else could make their strongest selling point the fact that they pay their talent the least possible amount, thereby making their product the greatest BECAUSE they don't pay squat to the talent? Sounds like the perfect capitalist's wet dream.

PJ, I don't see him getting booted after 3 years but I don't see him lasting past 5 years either.

Let the bride know old Smoke & Mirrors would be available for ND, heck he would look good as a green leprechaun.

The bride already has a PJ........she doesn’t need another one.
