But how many coaches has Wisconsin gone through since Alvarez? Probably more than Minnesota in that same time frame. Minnesota can't win cause they offer no kind of environment that recruits want to play in. They got a new stadium that only holds 50,000 people in a major city. Problem is that the Twin Cities are a pro sports city and don't care about the gophers. Recruits see this and want to go elsewhere.
Ferentz with the worst contract in CFB
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date

Fleck is a decent coach IMO but a lot of rah-rah and smoke and mirrors. To me, he's a poor man's hyped up Bobby Petrino. Decent results but at what cost?
Kirk Ferentz is not like the other three great coaches remaining on that list because 'ships.
Think about Auburn. Had to pay $5 mil to buyout Tubbs, then had to help buyout Chiz at ISU, and bought him out at $7.5 mil to be able to fire him.
Against this B1G West? They could pull a 2015 Iowa every year then maybe get that Conference Championship won and into the playoffs. From there who knows. Urban would probably give you the best bet to win one at Iowa because he's used to the north recruiting and weather.
Yep, also Texas A&M paying Sumlin $10.4 million and now paying Jimbo $7.5 million. Also, Charlie Weis was getting buyout money from both Kansas and ND at one point in his career.
I can only remember 3 since Alvarez and Bieliema was a protege....plus Alvarez didn’t leave the program. Moved to AD and the staff basically stayed in place. Not comparable to Minny in that regard.
I do agree that the Twin cities is a pro sports town and that ain’t changing
I’d bet Ferentz could win a national title at Ohio St, Florida St, or Auburn. I’d also bet Meyer, Fisher, and Gus couldn’t win a national title at Iowa.
Chiz won a national title at Auburn, and Ferentz is 10x the coach he is.
Chiz hires Gus. Kirk hired title IX. Being a HC many times comes down to your hires.
Chiz paid for one of the most dynamic college players of all time. The fact that the NCAA hasn't taken that trophy back is a miracle in itself.
