If you were Ferentz...

I'd be loving those paychecks.

If you do not think that Kirk Ferentz is giving it his all, you are not thinking this thing thru. KF has more reason to try to succeed than EVER before. His son Brian is on the coaching staff. KF knows if he does not succeed, in the next year or two, then he will be solely responsible for his being fired. Tell me one father who would possibly want that on their shoulders???

If you do not think that Kirk Ferentz is the most stubborn coach in ALL of college football, then you are simply not thinking... Coach with the talent you have, to best of their skillset. Do not coach to force your scheme when you do not have the talent. e.g. JVB is a shotgun, no-huddle QB. A blind man could tell you that. If something is not working and cannot be fixed by a seasoned veteran player, then something needs to be changed. Plain & simple.

If you were rodthompson, would you really start ANOTHER thread related to Ferentz's salary and his the Hawk's recent struggles? Yes, you would. Nice work, rodthompson.

The premise of this post is so moronic, it is really beyond repair.

I weep for whomever employs you.

Wasn't there a Rod Thompson that played for the basketball team in the early 90s?

Even if the working environment around me completely changed around me over the course of time. Ferentz is like an IT director at a company in the 90's who flat out refused to learn how to use the internet, but at the same time know he'd never be fired for it.

As much as I cannot stand KF and his philosophies, Barta is the real villain in all of this. Handing out that contract was that act of a madman.

KF didn't get to where he is by being lazy. You've just projected your own mindset onto Ferentz.
