Ten straight bowl eligible seasons. Six January bowl games. Four top ten finishes. Longest tenure of all Big 10 coaches. Three time Big Ten coach of the year. In Ferentz's time here we've had players win the Outland Trophy, Lou Groza Award, Davey O'Brien Award, AP Player of the Year Award, John Mackey Award, Doak Walker Award, and runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. Tons of national recognition and respect. High percentage of seniors drafted or signed to NFL contracts. Overall, 75%+ graduation rate tops nearly all other Top 20 Football schools. Staff stability is stated by most recruits as very important and one of the main reasons why they want to attend Iowa. Highest level of respect from NFL & college coaches and players. Loyal and generous to the University of Iowa. Represents Iowa with class while running a clean honest program. Treats fans, players, coaches, opponents, media respectfully. We've finished in the top ten nearly 1/2 of the last ten years. Actually allowed Iowa fans to realistically dream of a national title - unheard of at Iowa.Thrilling wins, Iowa pride! We are competitive in every game, even when we lose. Our average success on the field is surpassed by only a handful of programs during Ferentz's tenure and he's accomplished this at Iowa despite all the disadvantages Iowa has compared to traditional powers. His performance is in line with or exceeds the other highly paid college coaches. In today's college football environment - parity is common. He has taken us to the top levels and gotten us back to the top level while never stumbling to the bottom. We have the most young talent/athleticism along with super incoming talent and depth that Iowa's ever had on it's roster. The future is very bright. If you can't see the light...pull your head out of your.....fanatic.
