Iowa City, IA -- The University of Iowa is coming off a "disappointing" season a year ago. Whether it be athletic director Gary Barta, head coach Kirk Ferentz, the team or the Hawkeyes' fans, the 45-28 defeat to a young and upcoming Tennessee Volunteers' squad, ending with a 7-6 record wasn't what many had expected for the Hawkeyes in 2014.
Iowa's Kirk Ferentz is the dean of Big Ten football coaches.
