The last ncaa football head coach still left from the 90s. Not counting bill Belichick.
Excellent interview
He mentors all of the kids here in the great State of Iowa. So proud to be a Hawkeye.
His ego won't let him.He wants to get all the cupcake wins he can and think he's the greatest ever.
That’s my coach!! We are so blessed to have KF at the helm of our special program. Go Hawks! 🖤💛🖤
Love my Coach!! Go Hawks!!
It’s clear Aaron and Coach have a connection you can’t fake. Love when these two connect. Great convo gents
13 more days until Iowa Football!!!🖤💛
I have a lot of respect for coach ferentz.
Maybe increase the volume if the video.
It's very quiet
Great Coach who is usually just a QB and WR away from taking the next step.
As a Husker fan, I want to hate this man, but I can't.
HOFer, classy coach. his players would run through a brick wall for him.
This guy is a good interviewer.
I really hope Iowa does well over the next 3 years (Kirk will likely retire after 30 years). He deserves to go out a winner, with a few great seasons.
If he could coach offense, he'd have won multiple championships. The difference between Cignetti and Ferentz is that Cignetti and his O coordinator can develop a passing game.
Go Hawks
volume to low
Awesome conversation with their connection to Joe Moore and the OL. Thanks for doing this
Without listening to this video. The money is great, the program runs itself, no pressure to win the national championship, he has got tenure, and IOWA is just content with 8 games a year. Why would he leave.
That’s my coach!😁
