Some boosters must have really believed that #2 ranking they had for a week or two.


It's that the most influential boosters are old enough to remember Iowa before Hayden Fry, and they're scared that if they lose Ferentz (Fry's protege) that they'll go back to the 60s, 70s era Iowa

This.

People like to shite on Iowa for their loyalty to Ferentz, but they’ve been an extremely stable program for the last 40+ years, 20 of which are under Ferentz.

When they hired Hayden Fry, Bear Bryant was still coaching. As someone whose own program has had 6 coaches since 2007, I’m envious of their stability and continuity.

Iowa and Wisconsin are basically twins.

Old Badger boosters are scared to death of a return to the Don Morton era so they don't push for improvement as they feel trying something different, like throwing the ball competently, may cause the wheels to come off.
