Ferentz defenders will say that Iowa was only 7 points away from being Big Ten West champs.
See the final scores of the Wisconsin and the Nebraska games, combined, coupled with the Gophers loss to Wisconsin.
Ferentz 3.0 will not happen. He'll be back in 2015, but if we go 7-5, again, with this same conference schedule, he has to be fired.
At $4 million on these year-after-year non-conference slates, 8-4 should be the average.
