AH-TV: Kirk Ferentz and Brian Ferentz talk about Brian’s promotion to offensive coordinator
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz wasted no time in hiring his next offensive coordinator.
Iowa's veteran head coach announced on Monday that his 33-year-old son, Brian Ferentz, would replace Greg Davis as the team's offensive coordinator.
Davis announced his retirement on Friday after spending five seasons on the job.
Kirk Ferentz said Monday he wasn't sure if or how Iowa's 30-3 loss in the Outback Bowl against Florida impacted Davis' decision to retire. Kirk Ferentz expressed confidence that his son will succeed in his new position.
Brian Ferentz has coached the Iowa offensive line for the past five seasons and has been the running-game coordinator for the past two seasons.
Iowa produced two 1,000-yard rushers this past season for the first time in program history, as Akrum Waldey and LeShun Daniels both eclipsed the 1,000-yard barrier. The Iowa offensive line also won the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation's top collegiate offensive line.
