After nearly three months, Iowa’s search for a new offensive coordinator reportedly came to a close over the weekend. Head coach Kirk Ferentz was unhappy 90 days ago when then-interim athletics director Beth Goetz announced that his son, offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, would not be retained after the season. However, Ferentz the elder waited until after the close of Iowa’s season (which came in abysmal fashion in a 35-0 blowout loss to Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl) to truly start his search for the replacement.
Even so, while we’ve seen myriad OC hires across the country, it’s taken nearly four weeks for Ferentz to make a decision in this process.
