Thought this was interesting. If you are thinking Kirk Ferentz is the next head coach that could be fired if Iowa loses to ILL, think again.
the buyout on Ferentz’s contract is at $6M per year remaining. After the year, Kirk still has seven more years left on his deal, meaning it would cost Iowa $42M to fire him after the season.
But then again, Iowa AD Gary Barta is officially the boss of OC Brian Ferentz. Barta could fire Brian Ferentz based on performance, which would probably force Kirk Ferentz to resign in protest, effectively firing Kirk Ferentz without financial penalty.
