Kirk Ferentz has always done a good-to-great job at Iowa. Because of his work, he is traditionally one of the hotter names that gets thrown around every time there is an NFL vacancy. But now that Iowa has inked him to a seven-year extension, you have to imagine that it will be at least
[He] agreed to a new, seven-year contract that includes the same salary and bonus structures as his previous deal."As our head coach the past 10 years, he's proven himself to be a winner and a strong leader of the Hawkeye program," Barta said in a statement. "I'm thrilled to have him as Iowa's head football coach."
Under the new agreement, Ferentz's assistant coaches will be eligible for additional compensation for significant achievements.
It's weird. Obviously the fans of Iowa love Ferentz and he appears to be a great coach with the success he's had at Iowa and Ferentz obviously loves being there. Part of that, of course, could be that there are relatively low expectations (no one ever seems to worry about not "taking a step" or anything). Oh, and that he gets paid close to $3 million a year. That probably doesn't hurt.
