Like with most of us, he probably feels there are some things the program needs to improve on but, he'd rather not share it with the public. I respect that, but I don't think he get's a complete pass in identifying any flaws in the program. He tends to deflect questions that might even be remotely deemed as critical/controversial so I wasn't surprised. But, I don't think being a Hawkeye fan is to be a mindless automaton that must slavishly believe that the program is without flaws or that the head coach is completely blameless(and unaccountable) for any flaws that exist. Being a fan isn't having blind faith. It's recognizing that flaws exist but, that doesn't alter your loyalty to the man or the program. It's a little ironic that I'm having this conversation as over the years I've been the one who often says to fellow fans(and opponents)that Kirk deserves more credit for the success of the program. The very stats that he provides in response to my question I've quoted to people. So, this is "through the looking glass" for me.
