I wonder if Jerry would ever consider Kirk Ferentz?

I wonder if Jerry would ever consider him? He's got NFL experience, His teams always have strong lines on both sides of the ball. He usually has his team ready to play. I am not a hawkeye fan, but I am a fan of Kirk Ferentz.

I like him too, he mostly runs a tight ship.

But hes not getting a look from us

I am a Hawkeye fan (wearing my Hawkeye hoodie right now

Great win against Missouri last night. Ferentz is not going to leave Iowa. He has been courted in the past and shown no interest, at least publicly and according to the media. I guess you can never say never...but I feel 99% confident he will not leave for any NFL team at this time.

I'd rather hire his o-line coach to coach our line.

UnoDallas · Dec 29, 2010

Reese Morgan, O line coach

UnoDallas · Dec 29, 2010

the thing about him as coach he coaches like B Parcells

he coaches the same every game

thats why every year Iowa gets beat by NorthWestern

he never goes for the kill

I dont see him leaving iowa either, but with all the drug and off field issues they are having it could factor in to if he stays or goes

...they are having big time issues right now. I like Ferentz, but......no thanks. He is a very good coach but too much smoke in Iowa City right now. JJ wont' touch him IMO.

Are they going to reopen the infamous "White House?"

He loves converting TEs into OTs, LBs into DEs and DEs into DTs. And his guys are usually tough all day suckers. Similar player development philosophy as Jimmy, difference is that Jimmy placed special emphasis on speed.

I like Ferentz too. But as a position coach, not nfl HC.

Ferentz loves NCAA too much. No way Jerry reaches for a college coach

Eric_Boyer · Dec 29, 2010

huge Iowa fan!

I would prefer we leave him alone.

About the issues, I know for a fact about one of the issues, but this was beyond his control and I applaud him as well as the kids parents for forcing the kid off of the team until he got his life together.

Ahh yes this is my type of thread. It will never happen for two reasons...

1.) Ferentz just signed a five year extension with Iowa. He and his family genuinely like Iowa City
2.) Ferentz would never work for an owner like Jerry...he is too humble and does not like the spotlight on the team at all times like Jerry has.

Its a shame too because Ferentz's coaching style is much better suited for the NFL than NCAA.

This is spot on and very frustrating for me to say. Iowa got out coached many times this year.

My son and grandson are fans of Kirk - or used to be. They follow the Hawkeyes religiously and they have soured on him. I have watched some Iowa games and while I know he is always in the top third of college teams he doesn't take the next step and makes some strange game decisions in my opinion. I would hate to see him come to the Cowboys.

Iowa's defensive coordinator had major health issues all year and wasn't with the team much.

totally understandable.

the first coach in Iowa history to win three straight bowl games.

let the lynch mobbing commence :laugh2:

Iowa is out recruited by the vast majority of the big 10 because, well who really wants to live in Iowa?

Chief · Dec 31, 2010

I always thought he was a good NFL coaching prospect. I like the fact that he's been in the league, working with Belichick.

But I don't see it happening now. I think he'll be there for the rest of his career.

I wonder if Jerry would ever consider Kirk Ferentz?
