How about from his neck up?
$30M Buyout for Kirk Ferentz. He is signed through the 2029 season
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
F him for getting the money on his contract?
Agree, but there's more to it than that. I'm not posting that long of a post, Reasons have been up in many threads
Iowa had so much luck occur during that game, int that went through the lb’s hands then to Moeaki, the pick six that was called back due to interference by tOSU. Only bad that day was the missed field goal and stone hands Terry Stross missing two wide open catches, one for a td. Iowa had a lot of luck going their way that day and KF was too chicken shiat to play for the win when given the chance to do so.
i think you are right
I think recruit's relationships with the position coaches may have more of an influence than the head coach. The fact that players can leave at any time doesn't tie them to the head coach like it used too.
Kirk is good for at least one more year...what's the buyout after next season?
the only problem is that if the HC gets canned, the position coaches essentially get canned too
For those who want to move on, do you have $30M to spare?
Guessing the answer is "no."

😂 Why would anyone need to spare $30 mil when we are making double that in media rights this year? Not to mention all of the other money the athletic dept rakes in.
next year we will be paying players up to $22M annually
@RagnarLothbrok , do you have $30M lying around?
“I have a mansion, forget the price. I’ve never been there, they tell me it’s nice…”
Anyway, it’s up to Kirk to do the right thing and retire. I’m acutely aware of the position Barta’s dumb ass put the university in.
The only problem is that he's stated many times that he loves coming to the football building every day.
The University doesn't have the money to buy him out. They don't even have the money to get rid of the softball coach that needs to go. All the lawsuits have crippled the athletic department.
It would take big wig donors to come forward and tell Beth that they will pay the $30M if she is willing to pull the plug.
if Kirk wants to keep coaching, he can go be an OL coach in the NFL. This is something Kirk mentioned many years ago when talking about his life after being a head coach,
There are several NFL assistants who are in their 70s. Tom Moore is still an “offensive assistant” for the Bucs at age 86.

The longer they wait, the bigger the rebuild could be.
Not every situation is a quick fix like Indiana.
Negotiate a settlement when he passes Woody Hayes.
If KF has any integrity, he's going to understand, but I imagine his ass is still chapped from Beth canning Brian.
Lose/Lose situation.

He's mentioned recently that being an OL coach would be his dream; did he ever give a timeline when he wanted that to happen?
Kirk turned 69 on Aug 1.
Just a $30 MILLION reminder for those speculating on whether KF could be fired if things end badly this season....
Drop in the bucket with TV rights et al. Let's start 2025 with a kick ass hire.
Don't forget that there's a new item to budget for: up to $22M annual in revenue sharing with players.
Make the coaches she'll that out if they want to have a competent team. Fans will start leaving if the onus tonpay players is upon them.
Make the coaches pay the money if they want to keep their jobs, fans are going to walk away when they are continually asked to pay more and more to fund a team. D1 will die on this hill.
Beth can have a new Office set up in some secluded corner of the facility and give Him a geriatric friendly version of NCAA 2025 with full dynasty mode enabled , punch bowl full of gum and have the softball Iowa press come in once a week and do a press conference to make Him feel like He is still running the program .
What's he do when he gets there. Watch old Woody Hays tapes of 3 yards and a cloud of dust?
