When Kirk Ferentz got to the meat of his first stump speech of the spring I-Club circuit, he opened by reflecting on the 2014 football season.
“I’ll start with the positives — there were some, believe me,” the 17th-year Iowa coach told the crowd of about 600 that assembled Tuesday night at the Sheraton Hotel in West Des Moines.
That was Ferentz’s closest attempt at humor in what amounted to a state-of-the-program address in front of the Polk County I-Club. The football climate probably isn’t ripe for a few riffs — like the jokes associate head wrestling coach Terry Brands told prior to Ferentz taking the dais that had the crowd roaring.
