Last week, former offensive coordinator Greg Davis retired after five seasons with Iowa football and a 43-year college football coaching career. This week, the Iowa Hawkeyes named offensive line coach Brian Ferentz the new offensive coordinator.
Ferentz, the son of head coach Kirk Ferentz, played as an offensive lineman at Iowa from 2002-05. He then joined the New England Patriots’ coaching staff in 2009 after a short NFL career. He stayed with Patriots for three seasons before joining Iowa’s staff in 2012.
Iowa is coming off a season where they ranked 95th in points per game and only managed three points against Florida in the Outback Bowl.
