Nope. I think he maxed out with the Brad Banks team that went 10-2 and tied for the Big 10 title with Ohio State. He probably shoulda taken another job elsewhere @ that point. B/c people were overrating him and he failed to see that Iowa isn't Nebraska, and it's not easy to get kids to play in such salty areas.
When UM was rumoured to be after him, I was in near tears. His coaching schemes aren't impressive. Banks was a guy who took his pedestrian offense to the next level, yet Ferentz afterwards kept recruiting slow, clunking QBs with limited wheels. And it shows. Iowa offensively is just flat out slow. Maybe a burner here or there @ WR, but otherwise just plain maple syrup slow. A lotta it seems to be the ability to lure talent there. He's not worth what he's making. Iowa will always be a tough place to win, a place where in a blue moon sometimes you can put together a great season, but Ferentz isn't the genius his paycheck seems to tell everyone he is.
