Ferentz, Iowa get props in Chicago Tribune

From Teddy Greenstein's column:

When I think of Kirk Ferentz, this word comes to mind: Dignity.

His program is hardly perfect. Hawkeyes fans have gotten frustrated by five-loss seasons and talk of the ginormous buyout. And yet there’s a trust factor with Ferentz, a sense that given an ethical challenge, he’ll do the right thing. How many Power Five coaches deserve that tag?

Ferentz is the dean of Big Ten coaches and after the Hawkeyes pounded NIU 33-7, he is Iowa’s all-time winningest coach. As the Athletic noted, Ferentz spent more time praising the Kinnick Stadium maintenance crew than basking in the accomplishment.

Defensive end A.J. Epenesa said he didn’t even know about Ferentz’s record until he was asked about it after the game: “He puts the team in front of everything.”

At least this paper recognizes integrity and honesty, when it sees it.

Unlike the BigTenNetwork for a comparison. All they care about
is the garbage coming out of Columbus. (In my humble opinion)

It's sad to think we really do have fans that would rather have someone like Bobby Petrino coaching the team. God we have some stupid fans.

Thanks for linking OP, good write-up.

Thank goodness Kirk is married. The Catholics may be looking for a new Pope and I'd hate to lose him.

There is no evidence I am aware of that Kirk has ever Sanduskyed an 8 year old so you may bwe on to something there Herk.
