Iowa announced earlier this week that offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz would not return for the 2024 season.
Ferentz, the son of longtime Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz, has faced regular criticism and scrutiny for the ineffectiveness of Iowa’s offense. Last year, the team averaged 17.7 points per game. That poor scoring output consistently wasted excellent performances by Iowa’s defense.
Before this season, Ferentz agreed to a revised one-year contract that reduced his salary by $50,000 and included mandates for the Hawkeyes to win seven games and average 25 points per game. If Iowa failed to meet either of those incentives, Ferentz’s contract would not be renewed.
