Kirk Til 2015

The University of Iowa has, in a stroke of genius, signed football coach Kirk Ferentz to an extension that keeps him here until 2015.

Excellent! Ferentz has been a solid replacement for Hayden Fry and keeping him here is an extremely smart move- hopefully they can do something about the basketball team next- it might be nice to get to the Big Dance again sometime soon.

I think Ferentz should be good to go here until 2011- after that, if there's a big move to be made, I'd see what happens after JoePa retires at Penn State. Ferentz has long-time ties to PA and if he wants to jump, it might be back to PA. I can't see him going to the NFL. Nick Saban jumped to the Miami Dolphins and then jumped right back into college football, so transitioning from college to pro doesn't always go so well.

But yeah- awesome move down at the U.
