Hawkeye nation was hit with a bombshell on Monday afternoon as interim athletic director Beth Goetz issued a press release indicating that offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz would no longer be with the program after the conclusion of Iowa’s 2023 season. While the younger Ferentz will remain with the team through their bowl game, the drive to 325 no longer has any bearing on his future beyond this season.
In short, head coach Kirk Ferentz will be left to look for a replace for his son as offensive coordinator this offseason. Such a search will mark the fourth time Ferentz has had to do so in his tenure as head coach.
