Most of the so-called "experts" picked Iowa to finish last in their division, with a consensus overall record of 4-8.
Jon Miller picked the Hawks to go 5-7.
And yet, eight games into the season, we are 5-3.
If Iowa goes 7-5, I say Ferentz gets coach of the year.
Is he a great game coach? I don't know.
But he does many things exceptionally well:
1. His kids play hard. They have high character and they graduate.
2. We make very few turnovers and play penalty-free football.
3. Our teams are strong and play tough.
4. The players seem to enjoy playing at Iowa.
I think he is a great coach and the perfect fit at Iowa. I also think Iowa will be much better next year (even with the loss of our LBs) and the year after.
Ferentz has one great run left in him. Watch it happen.
