Ferentz with the worst contract in CFB
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Don't forget Fran M! I kid. I kid. I kid.
In all seriousness Kirk's longevity and "body of work"(not a joke) deserves the contract. The AD is flush with cash from Big 10 revenue. I would have no problem with Campbell getting a contract if he earns it.
KF has one top 25 finish in this decade. None of them can say the same
I am looking at the similarities.
I'm not sure how it is a negative to be on this list? Can you explain that to me?
You think Ferentz ever stays awake at night thinking about how he's gotten rich off of college kids?
ISU fans would be thrilled if they had KF and had similar results the last 18 years with the same compensation.
I think he's trying to point out how Urban, Jimbo and Gus (hilarious name group btw) have won National Titles and can justifiably ask for a big contract but Ferentz is overpaid just "because."
You do realize that @CyTwins 's post is incorrect, don't you?
The ones you listed, (you didn't put lovie there) all have been highly associated with a Natty, except your boy and he has a similar contract. Although I question if 6 or 7 or 8 wins gets a bonus for them. Campbell doesn't even have that.
Hands down that Illini contract is the worst in college football, followed by aTm (no protection for the school).
I think Ferentz has kept IA from falling into the forgettable half of the Big10 (UI, Pur, NW, ILL, MN, Rut, Mary, and now Nebby). I think that's huge for the school and justifies the contract.

Ferentz has earned a contract that is being compared to National title winning coaches, I already knew that. Once again tell me how this is a bad thing?
Try talking about that then. Yes, he should have stated one of the five worst, however that doesn't mean that Kirk's isn't the worst, just that they didn't rate the worst five 1 through 5. They just lumped them together.
Kirk is someone you can most likely trust your kid with, who obviously has put guys in the NFL. For the most part, he's a steady presence on the sidelines.
But the main point with a lot of these articles is that it sounds like you're overpaying for an average of 7.5 wins a year over his career. None of that has anything to do with ISU or ISU fans taking that result or not.
It's just a fact.
Probably about as much as Campbell or any other Power 5 coach does.
The man needs another raise. There is no reason for a man of his accomplishments to have one of his children forced to live in government subsidized housing. Kirk deserves a living wage!
It's bad because you're paying for something you'll never achieve. They are paying for something they could.
I personally don't think Ferentz contract is bad. He's been lucky to have good players at the right times when the schedule is very favorable (see 2015). At the end of the day he wins a lot of games at Iowa so he can ask for more money. Them's the rules.
It is also a fact that it is extremely hard to win at a school like Iowa on a consistent basis long term. KF has done a good job at Iowa even considering his salary. It is just a fact.
