Ferentz locks up $500k bonus for that elite 8th win
- Thread starter Alum-Ni
- Start date
Well considering that 4 seems to be our new standard, 8 wins sounds pretty good.
Congrats to Iowa for rewarding mediocrity.
So, you are ok with rewarding a coach for mediocrity in year 20? Got it. Congrats on beating a bad team to get there.
Might be the reason one program has 5 trophies and the other will never even think about sniffing one.
Lol, you’ve sunk from 5 trophies to losing 4 straight to Iowa. Let that sink in.
Seriously, the program is a dumpster fire right now and Iowas team acted like they won the superbowl when that kick went through. Let that sink in.
Well we fired a coach who won 9 games every year....Iowa pays $500K for 8 wins. I have no idea what this all means, I just find it fascinating, and this year if we had won 8 games we would have been ecstatic so IMO we look kinda silly poking fun at this situation.
Ferentz donates far more than the $500,000, so it goes to a good cause. There’s problems with that? It’s not a great year for the Hawks, wasn’t supposed to be, Next year is.
Even crazier he turns around & donates that to the Children's Hospital, am I right? Crazy old KF being generous. Lunatic.
No shame in Ferentz finding a team that will accept those crazy contracts.
When did 5-4 become a "great" season, do not kid yourself. Iowa won the games they were expected to, maybe less one. Ideally, 7-2 or better, since one wants to play in Indianapolis.
Tough road otherwise. Good finish for Scott Frost. Entertaining game.
I’m confused by this stat.. who’s record is this?
Edit: I see, he went current year 1st in talking about Nebraska.. worded it weirdly..
But doesn't his salary come from Iowa taxpayers? So that's a farce so what, it's really not Kirks money it the state of Iowas money going to the children's hospital
I was told by a person close to Nebraska football the good ole Kirk is a real jerk on the sidelines
No - his salary is fully self-funded through the athletic department, which is worth $117 million last year, btw (19th) compared to $110 million for Nebraska (22nd).
when the contract was announced in 2016 Barta/Kirk were concerned with optics so they propagandized a salary of 4.5 mil. But anyone who read the contract understood he was making 5+mil for the next 10 yrs at a minimum. That "bonus" bar was set low intentionally to allow the AD to lie about the compensation package. The sheep took the bait and Kirk took the U of IA for an expensive ride. His son has already built a Taj Mahal in Iowa City in preparation for when the HC position is handed to him. You can't spell Barta without s-a-t-a-n
all I know is Huskers plus 9.5 was cash money today, 10 point fav's had to kick at full time just to hope to win against that team, don't know which team is the bigger fraud, Northwestern or Iowa - and the future is much better in Lincoln than anywhere else in the B1G West
Really taking shots at two teams that beat you this year?? And you don’t know the future it could work out it might not
And that does what for Nebraska fans?
“Our coach makes more that Kirk Ferentz!”
“We lost, but our coach made more money.”
Dumb!
As is any reference to salaries. EVERY. SINGLE.COLLEGE COACH . Is grossly over paid for their contribution to society
This is just garbage. You have to come on our board with this crap after you win. If you think Frost is a bad coach and that this teams trajectory isn’t up, then you don’t know shit about football. Go back to your boring ass life in Iowa. Can’t wait to play you dirtbags next year.
You should see what Nebraska fans are doing on the Iowa board. And after a loss. It’s really weird.
Good for KF to donate so much of his salary.
He is a 20 year coach that is 151-101, almost exactly 7-5 average for his career. Iowa is who they are and have been for 20 years, nice , sound and every once in a while really good followed by crappy then back to 7-5 life.
Nebraska has been down the last few years with a coach that shouldn’t have been hired, after a coach who could keep his emotions in check to win the big games.
Our current coach is going to get things turned around. Need to get the lines fixed and tackle on defense, but those will come. If a coaching change is needed on staff, I think he is capable of making the change.
In three years Iowa will be still Iowa 7-5/8-4 and loving it while Nebraska will be 10-2/11-1 and playing for a chance to get into the final 4.
