Offense has been difficult to come by for Iowa for a few seasons now, and things appear to be coming to a head in 2022. The Hawkeyes (1–1) have combined for a grand total of 14 points in their two games to start the season, and just one offensive touchdown. At the center of frustrations surrounding Iowa’s offense is coordinator Brian Ferentz, the team’s OC since 2017 and son of longtime head coach Kirk Ferentz.
After sneaking out a 7–3 Week 1 win over South Dakota State behind a safety and a pair of field goals, the team fell 10–7 to rival Iowa State Saturday, with only a single Leshon Williams touchdown on the day. Through two games, the team has a woeful 316 total offensive yards, the worst total at the FBS level by 149 yards.
Evidently, an Iowa fan with some cash to burn decided to take matters into their own hands. If Kirk Ferentz won’t replace his son, whose offenses have never matched the program’s defensive dominance, perhaps some other notable Iowa coaching figures could convince him to step aside.
