In the twenty years since Kirk Ferentz joined the Iowa football program, there have been a number of ups and downs. While the Hawkeyes have become synonymous with 8-4 with an Outback Bowl win during his tenure, his legacy will largely be defined by the peaks of 2002-2004 with three straight top-ten finishes, the 2009 Orange Bowl Season and the 2015 undefeated regular season in the pro column and the valleys of 2006-2007 and the abysmal 2012 season.
As we approach what is sure to be the twilight of Ferentz the elder’s coaching career, it seems pertinent to ask what fans should expect down the home stretch.
