It’s a newsy Friday for the Iowa State football program. Fresh off the news that Iowa State is parting ways with Tom Manning, speculation has naturally turned to who will ultimately be the replacement. Well, the fine folks at WRNL have learned that an unexpected candidate is emerging as a possibility: Iowa’s least favorite son OC Brian Ferentz.
But we’ve also learned an interesting tidbit that makes tells this reporter that there’s smoke to the fire. Brian, of course, works in the family business under longtime Iowa Football head coach and disappointed father Kirk Ferentz. Apparently Brian was seen throwing duffle bags in his car outside the Ferentz home late last night, and a “For Rent” signed has been placed in the front yard of Kirk’s residence.
