Ferentz should be on the hot seat. Iowa's offense has been ass for years.
Brian Ferentz, Offensive Coordinator is on the hot seat, but no one in charge has figured out how to fire the coach's son, without losing the coach. The athletic director should have fired Brian F. after 2021, but the A.D. is not up to the job.
Bert would seriously consider that opening.Prolly be odds on favorite unless the Illini back up the trucks
Bielema was the head coach in waiting. I speculated he left for Arkansas because it would be difficult to transfer within the Big Ten. With his performance there he was no longer the head coach in waiting. Now with the transfer portal and players transferring within the Big Ten, it is not so difficult to envision a coach transferring within the conference.
Kirk Ferentz is 67. I suspect K.F. has two or three more years, unless he gets upset when the A.D. does to Brian F. what he should have done already, and quits as a result. I don't think K.F. would quit. He would reassign the boy to offensive line coach where he might do very well.
Bielema is down the list as a replacement at Iowa for now. Iowa has one of the top defensive coordinators in the country in Phil Parker who is 59, who I would expect might be offered. Iowa has a younger coach, Levar Woods, as special teams coach, and he has done an outstanding job, and would be an outstanding candidate, if Iowa is looking for a younger coach. And if they are looking elsewhere Bobby Stoops would be a candidate if he doesn't return to the Oklahoma job.
