The Iowa Football program is no stranger to success under Head Coach Kirk Ferentz. After a slow 4-19 start to his tenure, Ferentz has guided the Hawkeyes to 22 winning seasons, including 12 straight from 2013 to 2024.
During Ferentz's 26 years at the helm of the Hawkeyes, the program has a 204-124 (128-88 Big Ten) record, with 21 bowl game appearances (10 wins).
Ferentz's 204 wins rank No. 2 all-time in the Big Ten, and he has the chance to break the all-time record (205) this season.
Ferentz has been the straw that stirs the drink for the Hawkeyes, but the success of the program is contingent on the performance of the players.
