For years, Iowa has married some of the best defense in college football to a plodding offensive attack.
This combination has repeatedly sunk the Hawkeyes’ chances of competing on the national stage, as Iowa has just one division title since 2015 despite consistently fielding solid teams. A common thread running through the Hawkeyes’ stasis is offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has served in his current role since ’17.
With Iowa fans growing increasingly impatient with the younger Ferentz, the Hawkeyes announced amendments to his contract Monday afternoon.
