The Iowa Football head man has never sought out the spotlight, but his body of work speaks for itself. After an eight-year stint as the Iowa offensive line coach under Hayden Fry (1981-1989), Ferentz returned to the program 10 years later and has been one of the best coaches in college football.
Since taking over the program in 1999, Ferentz has accumulated a 204-124 (128-88 Big Ten) record, two wins shy of passing former Ohio State Head Coach Woody Hayes for the most in Big Ten history.
Ferentz's 204 wins ranks No. 1 all-time in Iowa program history.
