I would be angrier than I have ever been in my life if this Brian Ferentz thing were happening to us, this is so funny.

The Lovie and Miles thing was bad, but this isn't exactly good either...

For Iowa.

For the rest of us it's awesome.

Not what anyone would consider a bold goal. They averaged 26 points per game the last six years. Seven wins would be a step backward. Brian can just phone it in and cash his checks. Daddy has his back.

Looking for Brian to run it up on the nonconference opponents (Utah State, Iowa State and Western Michigan) to give himself a cushion for later season games.

They couldn’t even do that last year…..even when they blew teams out the defense did most of the scoring lol

I should have said "try to run it up..."

No Michigan or Ohio State next year. Should be a pretty favorable schedule for them.

Iowa states defense will be pretty stout again. Best of luck B-Ry.

Do defensive points count towards the total? Asking for Mrs. Ferentz.

They do

Illinivek23 · Feb 6, 2023

They averaged 29 ppg in the 4 yrs pre-Petras. McNamara should be a huge difference maker there.

Is his dad going to help him with household expenses with the pay cut? How will he make it on the reduced salary?

lexwaldez · Feb 6, 2023

This makes no sense. How does changing Brian Ferentz's contract incentivize the Iowa defense to score more points???

GILL-INOIS · Feb 7, 2023

I won't root for Iowa.....but I would love to see exactly 7 wins and something like 25.1 ppg with a defensive TD at the end of the season to take it over the 25 point average

Not a gimmie schedule but fairly easy one without Ohio St and Michigan to reach those goals. If they have a healthy McNamara the whole season I would be shocked if they didn't reach that.

I’m taking the over in their Utah State game to start the season. And if I can find it the over on 4th quarter TD’s.

And there will be hieroglyphics that say, "Bbuck21 was here!"

with all the better metrics that are out there to evaluate perfomance of a coach, leave it to Iowa to use
a. wins &
b. points per game,

as if its year 1954 and thats all they have access to

You summed that up concisely and very well.
