I'm not comparing him to Fry per se, I am saying Fry showed that Iowa doesn't exactly get as many worse players as you think.Hayden Fry had practically the same winning percentage, and ended the year ranked in 10 seasons out of 20. Ferentz has ended the year ranked 10 times out of 27.The one coach I’ll never understand why we never made a play for is Ferentz. I’m not saying to do it now but if there was ever a better coach doing more with less in the B1G I’d like to know who it was. I would have loved to see what he could have done with the higher level of recruits he would have brought to Happy Valley.
Not sure the "done more with less" narrative holds up if his predecessor had just as much, if not more, success.
Why has he beaten PSU the amount of times he has when he has rarely ever been able to recruit at the same level as PSU does? Because he does more with less that’s why. There’s no doubt in my mind that if he were at PSU he would be able to recruit at a higher level.
I’m not comparing him to Hayden Frye , I’m comparing him to other coaches of his era.
I believe he is a cery good coach, however some coaches are just built for success where they are at and wouldn't necessarily do well elsewhere. I think Ferentz is a pefect fit at Iowa... and not sure he'd be any better somewhere else.
@roaminglion Coach Ferentz always seems to have a good OL, QB’s that don’t beat’em and a sound defense. They play good sound football.
I know it’s just their opinion but this might come down the pipe but you have to listen to the whole thing. It’s a out 30 minutes but it’s some good stuff.
Lea from Vandy is a name I’m hearing a lot lately and he’s a guy I like even less than
Manny. What exactly has the guy done in 5 years in Nashville to deserve the hype and consideration for the job at PSU?
@psujoe Vandy will be back being Vandy when that QB graduates. Ain’t no way I’d get him.
Yeah he's living off some big wins that now don't look all that big. #1 Alabama last year turned out to be not so great. South Carolina this year, and LSU... same thing now both unranked. Missouri lost their QB.Lea from Vandy is a name I’m hearing a lot lately and he’s a guy I like even less than

Not a fan either.
