FireKirkFerentz.com is now in the hands of The Man


It usually takes a couple of years of ineptitude for Fire____.com to show up but Iowa decided to make a preemptive strike and puchased FireKirkFerentz.com from a company that specializes in such domains. (Yes, people will speculate on anything.) Redshirted.com now has 20 domains on its “roster” including fireMikeShanahan, fireJoeGibbs, fireRomeoCrennel, and fireTony Dungy. Hmmm… We don’t think Tony Dungy is going anywhere and the Redskins faithful would never turn on Joe Gibbs. Remember, when he was hired, they guaranteed he’d bring a Super Bowl within 3 years. (Because he won it in 2 years his first time around.) That was in 2004. But we digress…

Prices range from $50 to $250 which we think is way too low for a domain name. Would a school not pay more than $1000 to keep a potentially embarassing site from being erected on the web? Plus, what’s a grand to these big name schools where boosters drop millions on new cars for the athletes?

Curiously, FireKirkFerentz.com redirects you to HawkeyeSports.com, which might seem to imply that Hawkeye Sports is somehow thinking about firing Kirk Ferentz. We think the smarter move is to redirect the site to an absolutely terrible coach so that any surfers typing in FireKirkFerentz.com would immediately think, “oh yeah, it could be worse.”
