Ferentz with the worst contract in CFB

[CyCloned]

NW has been a challenge for Iowa in the past, not sure what happened to them the last couple years. Purdue looked like it was getting better last year, but fell on their faces this year. NU will eventually get better under Frost. He is a very good recruiter, and will make a move eventually, but the talent level is startlingly bad right now. MN and P. J Fleck, who know. IL, there is no excuse for them not being better with the recruiting base that they have.

Right now, besides WI and IA the rest of the east looks like a conference KU would dominate.

How much money has Iowa saved by not having to buyout a coach in 40 years? I saw where ISU paid Rhoads $5 million to leave. Other schools have paid much more to fire coaches.

 

[iahawks]

So basically ISU is paying Campbell $3.5 million and Rhoads $750,000. Total head coaching salary is $4.25 million.

And yet he is 3 - 0 against MC.

He lost his first 3 (4 actually) against ISU and was 11-24 in his first 3 years. It only took Campbell two years to win 11 games.

All hypothetical. You never know, honestly.
Iowa could be where they're at now financially, or they could be lower with a worse coach or higher with a better coach.

I agree with you, but the fact remains that Rhoads will be getting $750,000 a year until 2022.

That's nothing these days. That plus Campbell's salary is still less than was Nebraska is paying Frost to be 0-4, what Illinois is paying Lovie Smith to suck, etc.

Oh I agree, look at Jimbo's buyout. Holy smokes!!! KF and Campbell also have big buyouts at the moment. College coaches always have to have at least five years left on their deal in order to recruit so there will always be a buyout when someone gets fired. Just the way it works now.

Nope, pay attention. A donor came forward and ponied it up.

That Jimbo contract with Texas A&M is SO BAD. Like who let the AD write that? Fully guaranteed if they want to fire him but he can just walk and not have to pay anything back.

At least Ferentz (very) and Campbell (getting there) are established at their schools. What if Jimbo can't figure out how to win in the SEC or in Texas? Granted Texas A&M is a money machine so they could pay off Jimbo pretty easily.

Still has to get paid, and it still is part of what of ISU is paying coaches.

 

[Cat Stevens]

Urban Meyer, Jimbo Fisher, Gus Malzahn, Kirk Ferentz. Seems like a pretty strong list to be included in.

Yeah one of those things is not like the other.

I get you’re a ******* insecure moron, but to be as stupid as you come off is like the triple crown of worthlessness

Nope, lump sum at firing.

 

[Legend Hawk]

I agree, Lovie Smith is not like the other 4 great coaches on that list.

This is why you pay Ferentz and why Iowa State will pay Campbell once he proves himself.

But it was still paid and that was $5 million that didn't get donated to the Athletic Program at ISU as it instead went into Rhoads' pockets.

Thanks, very interesting. I’m not sold that Fleck is the long term answer but stability once you find the right fit is critical. ISU is all in on Campbell which I think is the right move...the trick for ISU is to stick with him even if he falters. Just too easy to clean house to satisfy the donors and fan base when in the end that knee jerk reaction sets you back years.

Blue bloods in recruiting hotbeds can do this...devepmental/recruiting challenged programs simply can’t IMO

While the overall premise is correct, PJ Fleck is just using this as a way to say that he shouldn't be fired for subpar results.
