Questions are swirling about longtime Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz’s future at the school following the news that his son, offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, will leave the program at season’s end.
Kirk Ferentz, 68, who has served as head coach of the Hawkeyes since 1999, put those rumors to rest Wednesday night.
“While my immediate focus is on finishing the season strong, I love coaching and my intent is to continue coaching here at the University of Iowa. We have build something very special here and I plan to coach until I am no longer passionate about the game, players or coaches,” Ferentz said in a statement released by the Iowa football program.
