Iowa to extend Ferentz through 2020

Thu 2nd, September 2010

Iowa City, IA (Sports Network) - Iowa announced Thursday it plans to extend the contract of head football coach Kirk Ferentz through the 2020 season. School officials expect Ferentz to sign the contract Friday.

The Hawkeyes begin the 2010-11 campaign Saturday against Eastern Illinois, and it will be Ferentz's 12th season as Iowa's head coach. The Hawkeyes have gone 81-55 with five bowl victories since Ferentz took over the position in December 1998.

"I've said publicly, and privately to Kirk, that it would be my goal to have him retire at Iowa. This contract is a statement supporting that commitment," said Iowa athletics director Gary Barta.

Ferentz has been named the Big Ten Coach of the Year three times, including last season, when Iowa went 11-2 and beat Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. He was also named the Associated Press National Coach of the Year in 2002.

Under the new agreement, Ferentz's annual compensation will total $3,675,000.
