Brian Ferentz to Maryland as "Senior Offensive Assistant"

[Beattheohiostate]

It's true. Story in the Press-Citizen. Here's the link: https://www.press-citizen.com/story...n-ferentz-joining-maryland-staff/73471201007/

I wonder how Maryland is selling that hire? And I wonder what, exactly, a "Senior Offensive Assistant" does, especially one who just completed two of the worst seasons on record as an OC in the BIG. I also wonder what such a job pays . . . BTW, Iowa plays @ Maryland on Nov. 23.

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

He's an analyst.

 

[desihawk]

He's an analyst.

we play at maryland this year, so hopefully his first year assignments include providing advice to their qb coach.

 

[obfuscating]

Good for BF and family. Good for Iowa.

It's Maryland.

 

[jerbob36]

He's not running the offense, designing plays, or creating a Saturday game plan.
He's one man giving one opinion on a low totem pole.
Good for him. Wish him luck except for Iowa.

Traffic around the beltway just got much slower.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

$60k/yr salary. Won't work with players. Mostly reviewing opponents game film from home while advising actual offensive staff.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

He’s far enough from Iowa City for me.

I’ll allow it.

Health benefits?

60K? Seriously? Even I make more than that (not by a ton, but still).

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

I don't like it!

 

[hawk224]

Good luck to him

Brian will do fine in his future coaching endeavors. He just did not have the inherited ability to be an offensive coordinator He did fine coaching lineman, and must have ability as was the tight end coach for the Patriots in the Super Bowl run

 

[desihawk]

surprised someone didn’t offer a position coach spot. he would be a good get as ol, te, rb coach.
or perhaps they did but brian preferred analyst.

Hook, line, and sinker!🤪

 

[SI_NYC]

I’ll allow it.

It could be from Iowa City if it's just a scout type of job.

 

[herkhatescy]

Not me.

 

[BigAssTurkeyLeg]

It’s actually kind of smart. Just have him tell you what to do, then do the opposite and you should have a top 10 offense

 

[2D_]

Honestly, good for Brian. Happy to see he's landed on his feet on the D1 level, and not at some random high school or D3 school.

Makes sense. His offense at Iowa specialized at turtleing into it's shell. Especially at the end of games

I see what you said there

Doubt they even give him a whistle to wear around his neck.

 

[Moral]

That is one of the most prestigious senior offensive analyst positions in the country.

 

[nck24]

Fear the Turtler?

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Maybe he will learn how an offense is suppose to actually work to scheme against opposing defenses.

[Hawky42]

Will he continue his un masculine hairstyle?

He's CMac!!

 

[hawkdave007]

This is a good move for Brian for a lot of reasons:

1) It dispels the notion that he will only get hired by his dad or one of his dad's cronies, thus it shows Brian knows a thing or two about college football.
2) It's a P4/P5 job, and he didn't have to step down a level.
3) That's a pretty experienced coaching staff, so he's going to learn a few things and gain some healthy perspective on different ways to run an offense and a program.
4) The head coach, all three coordinators, and a majority of the staff are Black. For Brian, given the history of the lawsuit, that will really help him, to work with some guys who can vouch for him and let others know that he isn't a racist, assuming he forms some good relationships out there in Maryland.
5) It's far away from the Iowa City fishbowl.

I wish him the best of luck.

If Maryland had a fan base they would be so pissed right now.

where did u get the 60k figure? you really think he is willing to go from 800k a year to 60k?

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

A job like this is most likely just for one year while you pursue other opportunities.

 

[dadster]

Maybe he can help them bring Deacon on board?

I'm not so sure he had much of a choice in the matter...

 

[shrinkhawk]

hopefully Budmayr will become their 'Assistant to the Assistant' sometime next year.
