When Kirk Ferentz took the job as Iowa head coach, he held a meeting before the first media days with the other B1G coaches of the time. Joe Paterno, Jim Tressel, Lloyd Carr, Ron Turner, Glen Mason, Barry Alvarez, and Joe Tiller were all there. They made a gentleman's pact to observe certain rules and decorum as head coaches in the most prestigious major conference in college football. Coaches would not recruit players who had made verbal commitments, staffs would not organize visits for players committed to other schools, no late night phone calls or text messages. But most of all not to hoard all the talent at a particular position with unique skills like pro-style punting or long snapping. Eighteen years later, and only Ferentz is still standing as a gentlemen among the rogues gallery of head football coaches in major college football.
