Is Ferentz starting to embrace social media?

Here is a little piece from Marc Morehouse about Hawkeye football getting a twitter account, as well as Coach Johnson -

– Remember what Kirk Ferentz said about Twitter? I’ll refresh your memories in a minute.

If you’re on Twitter and you’re a Hawkeye football fan, you might be interested in following @HawkeyeFootball, a general account that pours miles and miles of links about Iowa football. It’s been pretty active in a short amount of time.

Tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson is on Twitter. His account is @HawkeyeCoachEJ. Eric runs a fairly active Twitter account with everything from a recruiting stop in Minnesota (no names given, Mr. NCAA, so move along) to the result of the annual seniors vs. coaches softball game (seniors in sixth innings).

I believe that gives every Big Ten football program a Twitter presence, from @IndianaFootball (no tweets) to NU coach Pat Fitzgerald (@coachFitz51) to UW coach Bret Bielema (@BretBielema).

This from an interview with coach Ferentz last summer:

“You never say never, but if you see me with a Twitter account, just hit me with a baseball bat. Go ahead, take a whack at me. I don’t think anyone cares if I have Wheaties or Honey Nut Cheerios. I don’t think anyone cares what I had for breakfast, what I chose this morning.â€

Ferentz doesn’t have anything to do with the football Twitter account, so put down your baseball bat, Tim Brewster.


Here is a video that was linked at the bottom of it featuring the hawks strength and conditioning prorgam (I'm wondering if GoHawks TV on YouTube is directly affiliated with the progrom?) -

Anyway, I guess my point is that someone is making a case for coach to get the program out there to feature to potential recruits? What do you guys think?
 
It's kind of like texting recruits, KF isn't the one doing it, but someone within the program is in order to keep in touch with prospects and commits.
