Kirk checks in at #3

Lloyd Carr is a great guy and good coach.

However, no way is he above Kirk Ferentz for the decade. Unless you don't count KF's 2009 season and Orange Bowl BCS victory. Sorry, no way, Adam

Seems about right - you could argue KF over Carr but #3 seems fair

While I agree, if you look at record alone it is hard to argue with Adam. LC never had a Big 10 record worse than 5-3 and had a much better conf winning %.

If you look at programs and the things Ferentz has to overcome at Iowa, KF is the better choice.

OK.........I'll live with it, I agree Lloyd Carr is a great man who is a good coach.

What Kirk Ferentz has done at Iowa, however, was much more difficult to accomplish, at Iowa, than any accomplishment at Michigan, imho.

THANKS 20 for linking this story, good stuff

Wha?!? Where the heck is zook???
Wasn't it just a few short years ago that he was being touted as the greatest coach on earth by all the blue & orange-clad dipsh!tz in chumpaign?!?

hawk20-------------I'll gladly pass on to Ever that you remember him.

As I've stated previously, he lives in Vancouver, BC now. He bought a little chalet, near the slopes there. His driveway has an underground heat system, so he doesn't even have to shovel. Anyway, he really likes it up there.

Thanks,
