kirk ferentz

k fHead Football Coach10th Year at Iowa

Kirk Ferentz is in his 10th year as head ootballcoach at the University o Iowa. His tenure asIowas head ootball coach trails only Hayden Fry,who led the Hawkeyes or 20 seasons (1979-98).Ferentz ranks third in longevity among Big Ten

Conerence ootball coaches.

Ferentz has led the Hawkeyes to bowl eligiblestatus in each o the last seven seasons, although the Hawkeyes did notcompete in a bowl game a year ago ater posting a 6-6 overall record. TheHawkeyes appeared in six straight bowl games between 2001 and 2006,the second longest bowl streak in school history (Iowa appeared in eightstraight bowl games rom 1981-88). Iowas streak under Ferentz includeda string o our straight January games rom 2002-05.

Iowas 6-6 record a year ago included a 4-4 mark in Big Ten play. Iowatied or th in the league standings, marking the sixth time in thelast seven seasons the Hawkeyes have nished in the Big Tens upperdivision. The Hawkeyes won their nal three league games o the yearand our o the last ve.

Ferentz was named Iowas 25th head ootball coach on December 2, 1998.He replaced Fry, who retired ater 20 seasons with the Hawkeyes. AtIowa, Ferentz has an overall record o 61-49, including a 57-30 mark overthe last seven seasons. He has posted a 38-34 record in Big Ten play. Hiscareer record is 73-70 in 12 years as a collegiate head coach. Ferentz isone o just seven Big Ten coaches ever to guide a team to 10 wins or morein three straight seasons.

Eleven true reshmen saw action in 2007, the most or the Hawkeyesunder Ferentz. Overall, Iowa used 31 rst year players a year ago, agure that ranked third nationally behind North Carolina and Florida orplaying young players.

Four o Iowas six wins a year ago came in Kinnick Stadium, where the

Hawkeyes have posted a 32-7 (.821) record since the start o the 2002season. That mark includes a school-record 22-game winning streak(2002-05). Iowa begins the 2008 season with an active streak o 30consecutive sellouts (70,585), selling out every game in each o the lastour seasons.

Under Ferentz, the Hawkeyes put together the greatest run in schoolhistory. The Hawkeyes won 11 games in 2002 and 10 in both 2003 and2004. With a 7-5 record in 2005, Iowa posted a our-year mark o 38-12,the best in school history. And, Iowas 25 Big Ten wins were the mostever by a Hawkeye team in a our year span. No other Big Ten team wonmore league games in that our-year span.

Iowa climbed as high as 12th in the 2006 polls while winning ve o itsrst six games. Injuries and inopportune mistakes played a role as the

Hawkeyes struggled or consistency during the second hal o the season.Still, a 24-21 loss to 15th-ranked Wisconsin and the two-point loss to16th-ranked Texas in the Alamo Bowl provide reasons or optimism in2007.

Ferentz, the two-time Big Ten Coach o the Year (2002 & 2004) led theHawkeyes to a third place Big Ten nish in 2005. An overtime loss toMichigan and a last-minute, one point loss at Northwestern is all thatkept the Hawkeyes out o contention or a third Big Ten title in ouryears. Following the 2005 season Iowa was one o our teams (SouthernCal, Georgia, Florida State) in the nation to play in our consecutiveJanuary bowl games.

Iowa won a Kinnick Stadium record 22 straight home games beore anovertime loss to Michigan in 2005. The home streak was the ourthlongest in the nation.

Ferentz led the 2004 Hawkeyes to their second Big Ten title in three yearsand won the leagues Coach o the Year honors or the second time. Iowas10-2 (7-1 in the Big Ten) record was expected by very ew. A victory inthe 2005 Capital One Bowl (30-25 over deending national champion LSU)capped o a third straight appearance in a January bowl game.

Iowa put the topping on the 2003 and 2004 seasons by beating avoredSEC teams in New Years Day bowl games. The Hawkeyes ended the 2002,2003 and 2004 seasons with an eighth place ranking in the nal polls.On a national scale, Iowas record over that three year span ranked eighthbest in the nation.

The 2003 Hawkeyes were the only Big Ten team to beat league championMichigan (30-27). Five Iowa players were named to the 2003 rst all-BigTen team and two were named rst team all-America. Hawkeye oensivelineman Robert Gallery was named winner o the 2003 Outland Trophy,which goes to the nations top collegiate interior lineman. Iowa put thetopping on the 2003 season by beating a avored Florida team (37-17) inthe Outback Bowl, in Tampa, FL, on New Years Day.

The 2002 team was probably the most decorated in Iowa ootballhistory.

Ferentz was named 2002 Associated Press and The Walter Camp FootballFoundations Coach o the Year in college ootball. He was also namedBig Ten Coach o the Year in a season that saw his team climb as high asthird in the national rankings.

Ferentz led the 2002 Hawkeyes to their rst Big Ten title since 1990 andthe most wins (11) in school history. Iowa posted impressive road winsat Penn State and Michigan on its way to the schools rst undeeated BigTen campaign since 1922. The win over Michigan was the most convincingby a Wolverine opponent, in Ann Arbor, since 1967. The Hawkeyes alsoplayed in the BCSs FedEx Orange Bowl or the rst time, having their

nine-game winning streak snapped by Southern Caliornia.Winning three o its nal our games in 2001, Ferentz led Iowa to theSylvania Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, TX, where the Hawkeyes deeatedTexas Tech 19-16.

The oundation o Kirks program at Iowa was established in his rsttwo seasons and began to pay dividends late in the 2000 season whenthe Hawkeyes won in double overtime at Penn State. Iowa returnedhome the ollowing week to post a 27-17 win over Big Ten co-championNorthwestern, ranked 12th in the nation at the time. That late-seasonsuccess carried over into the winning campaign o 2001.

And while Ferentz has guided the Iowa program to great success on theeld, the Hawkeyes have also made their mark in the classroom. In 2005,

Iowa tied Southern Cal and Virginia Tech with the best ootball student-athlete graduation rate (58%) among all Division I teams earning a bowlinvitation. Among the teams which participated in bowl games ollowingthe 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons, only Iowa and Southern Cal ranked inthe top ve in graduation rates in each o the three seasons. Among the64 schools who participated in bowl games ollowing the 2006 season,Iowas graduation rate (72%) ranked ninth best.

Along with Ferentz earning conerence and national Coach o the Yearrecognition, members o his sta have also been well recognized. NormParker, Iowas deensive coordinator, was a nalist or the 2004 and 2005Frank Broyles Award, which recognizes the top Division I assistant coachin the nation. Lester Erb, who has coached running backs, wide receivers



kirk ferentz

and special teams at Iowa, was named by Rivals.com as one o the top 25recruiters in 2005. Ron Aiken, Iowas deensive line coach through the2006 season, was the American Football Coaches Association Division IAssistant Coach o the Year in 2002. Aiken is now on the coaching stao the NFLs Arizona Cardinals.

Under Ferentz and his sta, Hawkeye players have gathered all-BigTen and national recognition at a record pace. Four Hawkeye playershave earned national Player o the Year honors at their position. Those

include oensive lineman Robert Gallery (Outland Trophy), place kickerNate Kaeding (Lou Groza Award), quarterback Brad Banks (Davey OBrienAward and AP Player o the Year) and tight end Dallas Clark (John MackeyAward). Banks was also the runner-up in the 2002 Heisman Trophyvoting.

Banks was the Big Ten Conerence Player o the Year and conerence MVPin 2002 and guard Eric Steinbach was the Big Ten Lineman o the Year in2002. Gallery, in 2003, became the ninth Hawkeye to earn the Linemano the Year award.

Another part o Iowas success under Ferentz is refected in the annualNFL drat. In the most recent NFL drat, DB Charles Godrey was a thirdround selection o the Carolina Panthers, while DE Ken Iwebema was aourth round selection (Arizona) and LB Mike Humpal was selected in the

sixth round (Pittsburgh).

LB Chad Greenway was a rst round pick in the 2006 drat, with ellowlinebacker Abdul Hodge being selected in the third round. In the 2007drat, OL Marshal Yanda (third round, Baltimore), TE Scott Chandler(ourth, San Diego) and OL Mike Elgin (seventh, New England) wereselected.

Overall, 23 players have been drated in the past six years, with sevenbeing selected among the top 50 picks. In addition, ve Hawkeye playerssigned NFL ree agent contracts the day ater the 2003 and 2007 drats,nine signed ree agent contracts immediately ollowing the 2004 drat,three in 2005 and 2008 and our ollowing the 2006 drat.

Over the past nine seasons, 60 o 70 senior starters under Coach Ferentz

have been selected in the NFL drat or signed to an NFL ree agentcontract.Robert Gallery was the second selection in the 2004 NFL drat, whileBob Sanders was selected in the second round as the rst pick o theIndianapolis Colts. Nate Kaeding, a third round selection o the SanDiego Chargers, became the rst kicker since 2000 (and just the sixthever) to be selected on the rst day o the drat.

Iowa ranks among Big Ten leaders in number o players (26) dratedover the past seven years. In the 2005 NFL Drat, DE Matt Roth and DTJonathan Babineaux were second round selections and DB Sean Considinewas picked in the ourth round.

Among the ormer Hawkeyes who have gone on to play in the NFL,

Kaeding, Sanders and DL Aaron Kampman (Green Bay) have earned all-Pro recognition. Sanders was named by the Associated Press as the 2007NFL deensive Player o the Year.

Ferentz joined the Iowa sta ater serving as assistant head coach andoensive line coach o the Baltimore Ravens o the National FootballLeague. He had been a part o the Baltimore (Cleveland Browns prior tothe move) organization or six years.

Ferentz was a member o Hayden Frys Iowa sta or nine years as oensiveline coach (1981-89). Iowa appeared in eight bowl games during the timeFerentz was an Iowa assistant. A pair o Rose Bowls (1982 & 1986), twoHoliday Bowl appearances (1986-87) and a pair o Peach Bowl visits (1982

& 1988), along with appearances in the Gator (1983) and Freedom (1984bowls, highlighted his previous Iowa stay. Iowas record in those nineyears was 73-33-4 and included two 10-win and two nine-win seasons.

Oensive lines under the direction o Ferentz anchored our o Iowashighest scoring oenses. Five o Iowas top oensive teams, in terms oyards gained per game, were operating behind Ferentz coached oensivelines. And, seven o Iowas top 10 passing teams o all time occurredduring the Ferentz years o the 1980s.

Kirks coaching career began as a student assistant (1977) at hialma mater, Connecticut. The next two years (1978-79) were spent atWorcester Academy, where Kirk also taught English literature. He servedas a graduate assistant oensive line coach at Pittsburgh during the 1980season. That Pittsburgh team (coached by Jackie Sherrill) nished withan 11-1 record and a number two national ranking.

He joined Frys sta in 1981 and the Hawkeyes won their rst conerencetitle and Rose Bowl berth in over 20 years. A string o 19 straight nonwinning seasons came to an end in 1981. Ferentz continued as Iowaline coach thru the 1989 season.

r mOensive LineNinth Year at IowaRecruits Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota

Reese Morgan, one o the most successul highschool coaches in Iowa prep history, is in his ninthyear with the Hawkeyes. Morgan is in his sixthseason as Iowas oensive line coach ater spending

the rst three years on the sta as tight ends coachand recruiting coordinator.

Featuring a well-balanced oense, a solid, hard-hitting deense and specialteams that rank among the best in the nation, Iowa appeared in six straightbowl games between 2001 and 2006 and was bowl eligible last season or aseventh straight year. The six straight post-season appearances mark thesecond longest streak in school history and included our January bowlgames. The Hawkeyes earned a share o the Big Ten title in both 2002and 2004 and have nished in the Big Tens rst division in six o the pastseven seasons.

The Hawkeyes have won 50 games over the past six years, competing inthe 2003 Orange Bowl, deeating Florida 37-17 in the 2004 Outback Bowl,deeating LSU 30-25 in the 2005 Capital One Bowl and earning a return tripto the 2006 Outback Bowl and 2006 Alamo Bowl. Iowa has won 31 Big Tengames in the past six seasons.

Among the reasons or Iowas recent success has been the play o Iowasoensive line, working under the direction o Morgan. The 2006 Hawkeyesranked third in the Big Ten in total oense (just a yard behind second placeOhio State) and second in pass oense. In 2005, Iowa boasted the Big Tensleading rusher and the leagues best redzone oense. Iowa, in 2008, returnsits entire oensive line unit rom a year ago.

In the 2007 NFL drat, Marshal Yanda (Baltimore) was selected in the thirdround and Mike Elgin (New England) was a seventh round selection. Inaddition, Mike Jones signed a ree agent contract with the San DiegoChargers. Jones was a rst team all-Big Ten selection, while Yanda earnedsecond team honors. Elgin was a rst team academic all-American in eacho his nal two seasons ater earning academic all-district honors as a

Senior center Brian Ferentz started the nal 20 games o his careerin 2004 and 2005 and signed a ree agent contract with Atlanta immediatelyollowing the 2006 NFL drat.

While the number o injuries sustained by running backs in 2004 hampered

the consistency o Iowas rushing attack, the Hawkeyes adjusted bydeveloping one o the most dangerous passing attacks in the nation. Withjust one senior in the starting group, Iowas oensive linemen adapted tothe change and improved rom week to week as the Hawkeyes scored 23points or more in the nal ve games o the season, including 30 points inwins over Wisconsin and LSU. For the year, Iowa ranked second in the BigTen in passing oense, pass eciency and redzone oense.

The lone senior in 2004, right tackle Pete McMahon, led the way with astandout senior season. Facing two o the more-highly regarded deensiveends in the nation in Iowas nal two games, McMahon led by example bycontrolling his opponents, who were both rst round selections in the NFLdrat. McMahons talent was recognized, as he was taken in the NFL Dratby the Oakland Raiders.

Anchored by consensus all-American and Outland Trophy winner RobertGallery at let tackle, Iowas oensive line had our new starters to start the2003 season.

The Hawkeyesended the season by scoring 27 points or more in three straight wins overranked opponents, rushing or over 200 yards in a season-ending win atWisconsin and in the Outback Bowl win over Florida.

Gallery was named rst team on every all-America team at the end o theyear. He was the second player selected in the NFL Drat, being taken bythe Oakland Raiders. In becoming Iowas third Outland Trophy winner, hebecame the second Outland Trophy winner coached by Morgan.

Hennings wasrecently inducted into the College Football Hall o Fame.

In addition to Gallery being selected in the rst round o the 2004 drat,center Eric Rothwell (Kansas City) and tackle Sam Aiello (Chicago) signedree agent contracts immediately ollowing the drat.
