Cleveland.com sends clear Woody Hayes message to Iowa Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz

Even though Iowa Hawkeyes football's Kirk Ferentz is closing in on the Big Ten's all-time wins record as a head coach, Cleveland.com's Jimmy Watkins had to keep

scarletandgame.com

They mention how Kirk hasn’t won the conference, pretty sure ‘02 and ‘04 they won the conference albeit a shared conference title. He has also won the West 3 times. From article:

"Big Ten coaches are about to crown a new king, even though he’s never actually won the conference. With a win against UMass on Saturday, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will break the record for Big Ten wins. He will pass former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes (205 wins) for the honor," Watkins wrote.

Just about every Iowa fan I know realizes that KF is way down the list in WP and conference game wins, and also that if you stay employed as a coach long enough you’re by default going to hit a certain number of wins.

This is a longevity milestone, not a “who’s the best coach” milestone.

National media are making a bigger thing out of this than we are

There is something really negative about so many OSU fans. They have a chip on their shoulder. Kirk does not have to apologize to anyone for doing his job

For sure longevity factors in. McCaffrey also has the record for Iowa coaches not because he was a great coach but because of longevity.
Kirk needs to retire now Bt For someone who grew up watching Iowa football losing 20 straight years Ferentz has had a great run at Iowa

Bingo.... Anybody trying to spin it into something else is just insecure and dishonest. Congrats on being a good coach that's been around forever. He's had a handful of magical seasons out of 26 or whatever it's been. But nobody is acting like KFs impact is greater then what Woodys was or whatever. But at least KF hasn't punched any opposing players before so I'm probably selling KF short in regards to that

Maybe Woody Hayes wouldn't have his record broken if he didn't slug an opposing player like the angriest douche coach ever.
