The Ferentz Succession Plan
The 2020s will be marked as the decade of change for Iowa athletics. Men’s and Women’s basketball both made changes after long tenures at the university. Rick Heller is in his 60s and could hang it up relatively soon. It’s a bittersweet time to be a Hawkeye fan. I’m sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what the future holds. That’s all fun, but at the end of the day, it’s all small potatoes compared to the looming question with the football program.
I’m not running Ferentz out of town, but having a plan when he calls it quits is paramount in today’s college football landscape. Everything is fast-moving chaos; there’s no way to avoid it, only to adapt.
