Have you ever seen him more angry? I can't think of many press conferences where he seemed more ****** off than that one.
Is there a web audio link or web video link? Was this the press conf with reporters or his tap dance with Dolph and Eddie.
The full audio of the post-game press conference can be heard here.

Ferentz was obviously very distraught and upset with how the game went. He seemed more critical of himself today which was surprising but not surprising at the same time. I can't be the only one that heard Ferentz admit he was outcoached in the post-game press conference after every loss this year. I have a short memory, but I don't remember him saying things like this in past years.
As I listened to this particular post-game press conference and watched some video clips of it, I got the sense that he's having some serious thoughts about whether or not he's still got it as a coach. I felt that the tone of his voice and body language just seemed to have this weird vibe about it. I got the sense that even he himself is questioning his own coaching ability and wondering if he is past his prime.
I might just a be fool reading into this too much, but did anyone else observe this and make the same interpretation?
The bottom line is no pressure, no results from this guy. Look no further than NW game following a putrid loss at Maryland. Serious mounting pressure with the fan base ready to move on from KF and low and behold the best performance of the year and maybe 3-4 years. Everyone feeling good with everything to play for. No pressure this past week and you get one of the worst performances of the KF tenure.
He's mad ad hell so we'll get to see them pound Illinois then lose to Wisky and Nebraska. 7-5 with a crappy bowl game win to get to 8-5.
