Full text of tweet:

Beth Goetz on whether she envisions this job being a long-term destination:

"Absolutely. The days of people being in positions for 20 years may have passed us by, but there is no place else I would be better suited for and be more passionate about than to continue to lead here at the University of Iowa.

As you all already know, I'm a Midwest kid. I'm from this community. It's felt like home from the moment that I came. I feel like we collectively have the best team in the country. Again, these just amazing coaches, incredible student-athletes and the support across campus.

I don't know what else you would look for that's beyond these walls.

I'm excited about my tenure here and certainly look forward to staying as long as President Wilson will have me."

Beth Goetz on how the decision to move on from Brian Ferentz was received:

"I think every decision we make is certainly an impactful one and certainly some are more visible than others. Anytime you make a decision about someone who has meant so much to this institution and to a program, it's always going to be difficult.

But at the end of the day, relationships and leadership is about building trust, and you take the information that you have, you make the best decision that you can in the short and the long term. You do that with your values in mind, making sure you're taking into consideration all those that are impacted, and you go from there.


I think over time, you continue to develop that trust and that respect that even in moments where some may agree and some don't that they understand how you got to those decisions, and you work hard to ensure that while you may not agree on every account, that they know that you support them, you care about them, and certainly in the case of football, how passionate I am about continuing to support Coach Ferentz and that program moving forward."
