Kirk Ferentz

[Jimmy Serrano]

I think it is possible he becomes a head coach in the NFL, yes. And I think there is a much better chance of him joining an NFL team for a year or two while he waits for a desirable college head coaching position. Kirk Ferenz is well respected in the coaching world, bothNFL and NCAA. He will be in demand.

Sorry, but this is just nuts. Spackler has an equal chance of landing an NFL coaching gig.

FWIW, I don't think Ferentz would be a bad hire here at all. It's not a bad thought.

I think Ferentz would be a solid hire. Just think he would have zero interest.

I can't say it wins, one team has to lose, but what we can agree on is that this style of offense has a higher probability of putting points on the board. With our defense and 6-10 more points per game we are 5-0/4-1 and possibly ranked.

It also exposes the qb. If you don't have a qb who can make quick decisions, and wr who know how to adjust their patterns to what a defense gives them, you are in big trouble.

Wasn't this fan base crucifying the PP hire because he was an older guy? Ferentz is about the same age, if not older. He hasn't been back to CT other than to recruit a handful of kids since his playing days were over in the mid-70's. Why does anyone think a) he has any interest whatsoever or b) he would be a good hire?

Pasqualoni was born in August 1949, Ferentz in August 1955. By comparison, Randy was born in August 1958. (What is it with August, anyway?)

I still don't think he'd be all that interested, and I'm also not sure he's even on the market. He won 11 games and the Orange Bowl three seasons ago. But for his abnormally high salary (at one point he was the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten), I don't know if there's a reason for Iowa to can him yet.
