Kirk Ferentz
Kirk Ferentz is beginning his 12th year as Iowa's head football coach. His tenure as Iowa's head football coach trails only Hayden Fry (20 years). Coach Ferentz now ranks second in longevity among Big Ten Conference football coaches.Following the 2009 season Coach Ferentz was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time in the last eight years. He was also named a 2009 Regional Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association.
The 2009 Hawkeyes (11-2) surprised a lot of football experts by winning their first nine games (a school record) and moving up to fourth in the BCS rankings. Impressive road victories over Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Iowa State were indicators of the team's mental toughness. And for the second straight year the Hawkeyes maintained possession of all three traveling trophies (Cy-Hawk, Heartland and Floyd of Rosedale). Iowa finished in a tie for second (6-2) in the Big Ten. It marked the eighth time in the last nine years the Hawkeyes have finished in the league's first division. Iowa's 24-14 win over Georgia Tech in the FedEx Orange Bowl was the final chapter in a season to be remembered.
Ferentz was named Iowa's 25th head coach on December 2, 1998. At Iowa, Ferentz has an overall record of 81-55, including a 77-36 mark over the last nine seasons. He has posted a 49-39 record in Big Ten play. His career record is 92-76 in 14 years as a collegiate head coach. Coach Ferentz is just one of seven Big Ten coaches ever to guide a team to 10 wins or more in three straight seasons.
Ferentz was born August 1, 1955, in Royal Oak, MI. He attended Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh. He graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in English Education. He was a football captain and an academic all-Yankee Conference linebacker at UConn.
Kirk and Mary have five children. They are Brian (26), Kelly (24), Joanne (22), James (20) and Steven (16).
