I hope not.
I still think herm was put in a real crappy situation. College coaches should stay there. Steve Spurrier was thought to be the college coach that would make it and look what happened to him, Nick Saban as well. Im not too high on this ferentz guy.
I REALLY don't want Ferentz. But, with that being said, Ferentz was a pro coach for six years from 93 to 98. (albeit, not a HEAD COACH)
But the fact that he's been at Iowa for ten years and hasn't produced a great team or a great program isn't exactly exciting. He's won ten or more games 3 times at Iowa. (02-04) He's produced a consistently mediocre team at Iowa. Their offense is average, their defense is average. He's ultimately an average head coach.... AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL. He's not even a "great coach" at the collegiate level. He plays in a weak conference and still can't do anything with that team.
For those of you who think records are how you judge a coach, he's currently 8 games over .500 over a 13 year career as a head coach.
Still interested?
Not a Ferentz fan either.
I thought the Iowa coach had a son in the program and didn't want to leave until he graduated... ??
I am a huge Hawkeye fan, and Kirk Ferentz has said he is not interested in the NFL yearly, except this year, this year he has said he hasnt had time to talk to Pioli and that they were both busy.
Ferentz has a couple of kids still in school at the moment, but one of the things pointed out in an article I read said KC would be a very good location for him because he could have dual residency as KC is only a 5 hour drive from Iowa City,he could leave his kids in schools they are in now and he could split time between KC and Iowa when not in the heat of the season.
Just speculation but this was from a writeup I read in an Iowa paper.
Kirk Ferentz has a had a very impressive O-Line most every year in Iowa lets hope if he is brought in by Pioli he works his magic on our O-Line.
