I’m going to preface this by saying that I got into blogging for the fun of it and the recent developments around Kirk Ferentz’s new contract and the dissolution of the advisory committee do not spark joy. Yes, that’s a years old Marie Kondo reference and yes, I would prefer not to write about this stuff. But all of it is newsworthy and, thus, worthy of a spot on our page.
We’ll start with the chronology of how things were announced, the first of which was the announcement of Kirk’s extension on Friday afternoon. Classic Friday newsdump, especially considering the signing of the extension occurred before Iowa’s bowl loss to Kentucky.
