RUH OH- Brian Ferentz Resigns-
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
So you think @bofayungsavage is the official Iowa Football handle? I know there are rumors, but I don't think this is official, lol.
Haven’t seen any main stream CFB media reporting it yet but they wait for more confirmation so it still could be true.
Also see it’s possibly just as OC so he could be on staff in 2024 just not OC.

Yea 247 site has reports of it but nothing from mainstream CFB media yet. Still could be true.
That's the rumor. The old man is getting up there in age, he's 68 and seems like a man who wants to finally enjoy his family.
Call @boyfayungsavage the NY Post of Iowa Football.
Thanks for the confirmation. I was off to a meeting and thought I found at least one or two other more reputable sources.
There’s no way he’s hitting the 25 points per game mandate. Currently sitting at 17, so he’s gone either way.
When you allow nepotism things get very awkward and strange and it seems to be somewhat common in college sports and college football in particular.
Watch, now the guy will let it fly. Double reverses, flea flickers direct snaps to the WR…
Yep, it was a joke X post, but it was funny. Maybe I should have pointed that out. A lot of comments under the original X Post pointed that out.
If Ferentz doesn’t like to go out of his comfort zone, the candidates I saw mentioned from the staff were Ladell Betts RB coach or Jon Budmayr analyst.
The HR candidate was UW OC Ryan Grubb. He turned down the Alabama OC position last year to stay at Washington with long time coaching partner DeBoer.
Grubb is from Iowa though and I wonder if that with a possible HCIW offer might not be able to get him. Ferentz is getting up there so it doesn’t seem outlandish.

We got to face two interim coaches and now an interim OC!! It’s setting up as a special season
IU had an interim OC too. I haven’t seen anything about Ferentz leaving his OC job though until after the season.
Rod Carey at Indiana ? I didn’t think he was
Right ferentz is staying through bowl game.
Maybe interim is not the best word . But it does mean temporary
IU fired Walt Bell in season and replaced him with Carey
I think he's seriously thinking about leaving
This article makes me feel he wan't consulted, felt timing wrong and wasn't thrilled about his son having stipulations added to the contract that was already signed
Kirk Ferentz focused on end of 2023 season despite Brian Ferentz news

I got the impression he wasn’t happy about it either.
Iowa rival Matt Campbell on the radar lol if he leaves? Maybe Grubb won’t have to be HCIW then.
I give the interim AD (possibly permanent infl the future) credit doing what should’ve been done awhile ago. Don’t give any chance to pull it back. After another miserable offensive showing, you’ve got the opportunity.
I watched Kirk’s weekly press conference, and a reporter actually asked Ferentz “How do you feel about the decision?” I mean, whether you like the guy or not, what the heck kind of question is that to ask to a father when his son is terminated? What is the guy supposed to say?
I never understood the benefits of hiring your child into such a prominent position when you don’t own the company…
Helping them get started makes sense. Graduate assistant to lower level position coach makes sense. After that I’m not sure it’s worth the risk to the family dynamic long term.
But that’s just me…

My guess that's the truth , but he'll retire if the interim AD isn't replaced .
The way his son was let go without his input ( I believe he didn't know) probably
pissed him off enough to not want to work under her next year.
Like I said just a guess based on opinion without any facts to back it up
She might technically be interim and I’m not sure why they haven’t removed the tag. From what I’ve read in the past, it was with the assumption she came on board to takeover for Barda when he retired. She was an AD somewhere else in the lower levels and took the deputy AD job at Iowa for a reason.
