Two conference titles, both ties (Ohio State in '02, scUM in '04). 6-6 Bowl record 115-85 overall record at Iowa, 68-60 in B1G play. For what it's worth, is also 7-9 against Iowa State in the battle for the Cy-Hawk, whatever the fuck that is.

3.55 Million a year.

How does that happen. I hate losing to those ugly leg humping mutts to the east, but at least they're a consistently good team. Isu is a shitty big 12 bottom feeder.

This is why you don't give mediocre coaches ridiculous extensions for a good year or two. At least ND had the money to fire Wies after making that mistake. Maybe Iowa and use that lovely lovely BTN money to fire his ass in a year or 5....

Iowa All Time winning % .529, Ferentz .575, Fry .613, Evashevski .650

Iowa has the second smallest state population in the Big Ten, ahead of only Nebraska. So he's in the range of all but St. Evanshevski in terms of winning, in a situation that doesn't help recruiting. He's better than the program's all time winning %. He's coaching at a time when many Iowa fans remember Frank Lauterbur .133, Jerry Burns .377, Ray Nagel .344 and Bob Cummins .327. 6 and 6 in bowl games ain't too shabby by conference standards and a couple of those losses were close games with questionable calls favoring the other team.

Thank god for those games against Northern Iowa and Ball State.
In the last 10 years he's 41-39 in conference. You have to go back to 2010 for a bowl win (4-4 Insight), and 2009 for a top-25 ranking.
That's a lot of money for 2 games above 0.500

Yeah, but you can't measure success at Iowa with the same yardstick you'd use for OSU, Michigan, PSU or even Wisconsin and MSU. By Iowa standards he's been successful.

And that's why Iowa will never be Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, etc. So if they run Ferentz out of town, who do they get? They aren't Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State, so they'll have to pay double to get the same caliber coaches.

Because Iowa is not Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State, they may never be Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State.
