Kirk Ferentz signed a three-year extension
BTW, if this is in the wrong forum, I apologize. Move it if necessary. I'm still getting used to BP forum setup.
This should stop two rumors. This should stop the NFL rumors. Also, one that wasn't circulating much. One of my clients is a PSU alum. He said there was a lot of talk about bringing Ferentz to PSU next season. Ferentz had expressed interest in the job and many alum felt positive JoePa was stepping down. Doesn't matter now.IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz signed a three-year extension that will keep him under contract with the Hawkeyes through 2012.
The new deal will pay Ferentz a base salary of $1.2 million and includes incentives for postseason bowl appearances and the team's academic achievement.
The school announced the extension Tuesday, the same day the Hawkeyes accepted an invitation to play in the Capital One Bowl.
The timing of the deal should also end speculation that Ferentz may be lured to another college program or the NFL at the end of the season.
