Iowa Hawkeyes 2023 Football Preview
In recent seasons, Iowa football has been a dichotomy of an elite defense, great special teams and an offense that is, well, offensive to the point of being a joke to the rest of college football. Adding to the comedy value is that Iowa’s offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is the son of the head coach Kirk. Ferentz will eventually retire as Iowa’s winningest football coach, which makes Brian a tough assistant to replace. In order to address the concerns of nepotism, Brian Ferentz officially reports to the athletic director and not his dad. (Of course, on the field, the athletic director can’t really be involved, so that’s a formality.)
