Does Ferentz coach past 2020?

[hawkinn3]

Not talking about being fired just wondering if you think he will keep coaching after his contract is up in 2020. I would assume there won't be an extension at Kirk's direction and he ends his run at Iowa that year.

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

idk, but I am pretty dang sure that if he is coaching in 2016 or later he will have a contract extension, otherwise he is considered lame duck and it gets very hard to recruit when kids don't know who they will be playing for. How do you recruit a kid for 2020 class if you don't have a coach under contract for 2021? Or even class of 2016-19?

 

[bhawkn30]

I'm not pro or anti-Ferentz leaving or being forced to leave. I just dont think he'll even be here in 2016.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

No way

 

[ssckelley]

I he makes it to 2020 then give him a lifetime contract.

 

[JonDMiller]

No I don't think he'll be here in 2020.

 

[jsmith337]

No I don't think he'll be here in 2020.

What's your guess, will it be after this contract is up?

****, just realized why the OP stated that year, yep, I'm pretty stupid

 

[BlackAndGold3]

He WONT make it to 2020!

 

[Not4cy]

No I don't think he'll be here in 2020.

Jon,

Interesting you say that because you have always been a believer that Kirk will be at Iowa for a very long time. Any guesses as to when he might leave Iowa??

 

[bcl20]

2020 is a long time from now.

 

[hawktransplant]

He has already been here a long time and to stay until 2020 is a real long time.

 

[MoseSchrute]

No I don't think he'll be here in 2020.

Interesting. So what's going to happen? Early retirement?

 

[treychase]

His youngest would be, what, class of 2017 at Iowa?
Somewhere in the 2017-2018 range would be my guess for KF.

My $25 annual donation says no. It's hard being such a baller...

What are you guys talking about...don't you know the Mayans said the world was going to end in 2012?!?!?! Duh!

If he plays at Iowa, then that could change things. But how good is the youngest? I don't recall anyone saying he is as good as Brian or James. If he were to just go to school, then I don't think Kirk sticks around til 2017 (in the sense that he won't coach that long; I don't think he'd uproot everything after hanging it up).

 

[Bigtenchamp]

I'm starting to wonder if the "shelf life" for a coach at Iowa is 12 years... After Hayden's 12th year he never really got it going again.

Good stuff. That equals almost half a football ticket or something like 8 volleyball tickets.

 

[DeputyHawk]

He will be here until he becomes Iowa's all time leader in wins.

2020? Will there still be civilation in 2020?
