Brian Ferentz coached his second-to-last game as offensive coordinator at Iowa on Saturday. He made a significant wardrobe change as he did.
The 40-year-old son of the head coach has been on his dad’s staff since 2012 and took over his current position in 2017. He will step down from his position following the bowl game later this month or next. The decision was “mutual” and made by “both parties” at the end of October.
Iowa’s offense has been the butt of the joke for the vast majority of Ferentz’s tenure. His team has been unable to score year after year after year.
The Hawkeyes helped to set the record for lowest ‘Over/Under’ betting line in college football history during multiple games in 2023. They hit the Under in most of those instances.
Prior to Oct. 30, Ferentz always wore team-issued gear on the sideline. Iowa’s logo was somewhere on his body for four and a half years. Without fail.
That was not the case in each of the last four weeks. Ferentz refused to wear any Hawkeyes gear after being fired and wore all-black from head to toe without a logo.
It was hilariously petty.
However, as Iowa played for a Big Ten Championship against Michigan in Indianapolis, the boycott came to an end. Ferentz wore a slightly-too-small performance polo with the Tiger Hawk on his chest!
Why the change? Unfortunately, nobody was able to get the scoop before the game.
Perhaps he decided that the conference championship was too important not to show solidarity. Maybe the school made the decision for him.
For all we know, his father made him switch things up. That would be the funniest reason.
Whatever the reason, Ferentz clothing watch came to an end. He caved to the powers that be and wore the logo!
