Kirk gets win #119 on the road against the Badgers which moves him into 8th in career wins among all coaches in B10 history, now just ahead of Alvarez.
Barry Alvarez was on hand to watch Kirk Ferentz pass him on the all-time career win list
- Thread starter nu2u
- Start date
I bet Alvarez didn't like today to much.
Barry wouldn't shake hands either . sore loser
And KF handed him his last home loss ever, in his final game at Camp Randall.
Barry retired too early--he really did. I think he and Tom Osborne both could have easily coached another decade (and their teams would probably be in a lot better shape today if they had).
Wow, KF beat Barry in 2005 during his last game at Camp Randall; now this.
Alvarez won 119 games at Wisconsin in 16 full-time seasons, and parts of two others. Ferentz, in his 17th season, has now won 120 games. KF and Alvarez were tied for ninth on the Big Ten’s career wins list; they are no longer tied, after today.
Good job, KF!!!!
Seriously?!! I didn't see that. If so, what a jerk (as if we didn't already know that).
Lol, yeah I thought that was Alvarez right at first when they showed that guy.

Here it says he's actually 9th.
1 Amos Alonzo Stagg - 232
2 Woody Hayes - 205
3 Bo Schembechler - 194
4 Joe Paterno - 162
5 Hayden Fry - 143
6 Henry Williams - 136
7 Robert Zuppke - 131
8 Lloyd Carr - 122
9 Kirk Ferentz - 119
10 Barry Alvarez - 118
Interesting link. I see that Fry and Ferentz are third and fourth respectively in all time losses. Ferentz needs 11 more losses to have the most.
Disappointed in Barry's display here. He's Athletic Director, not some drunk fan, which is what he looks like. Reminds me of Jamie Pollard, or worse, Jerry Jones.
Don't know if he coaches long enough to be the first to 100 but it's possible.
Surprised. I didn't even see BA on the field after the game. Where and when did this not take place?
Yeah, I gotta say, when I saw that shot of him on TV yesterday, I thought "wow, that guy looked like Alvarez, but then thought, "no, he wouldn't act like a lunatic on national TV." Must be some look-alike fan that likes to dress up like a past coach.
I stand corrected.
Correct, only Paterno's wins while PSU was a member of the Big Ten would be counted for all time wins, in the Big Ten.
Paterno still has 162 Big Ten wins which puts him 4th. Paterno's wins were reinstated if I remember correctly, so he's on the list whether the Big Ten likes it or not.
