Saw this on the morehouse blog, not only is this classic Norm but he definitely shows his love for Kirk Ferentz :
“I think every guy really knows that we’ve got good jobs. We work for a good guy. You know, he pays us well. We’re doing all right that way. And Kirk is not one of these guys that, you know, there’s a lot of head coaches that get up every morning and take an idiot pill. You know, they think the world revolves and sets around them.
Kirk is a guy that was an assistant coach. You know, let’s say that you’re coaching a guy and he’s going for the tackle, and he trips and falls. Well, he tripped and fell. Some head coaches would come up and chew your *ss out because that guy tripped and fell. Okay, I told him to trip and fall, you know. He’s the best guy in the world to work for. He has absolutely no ego.
I don’t know if you guys have talked to him or not. He cares about the players. He cares about the coaches. He cares about your families. You know, he could tell you the name of every – not only every coach’s kid, but every coach’s grandkids. He’s an amazing guy to work for. He really is. He’s got it in the right perspective. There should be more Kirk Ferentz out there than that. You can’t find a better guy.”
