Yeah, the Ferentz Empire is strong at Iowa. Long live the Emperor!

Considering what the man does with that program and what players he brings in, he is worth every penny.

WVU got their money's worth for Dana Holgorsen!

Of course, he is in for a HUGE pay raise this year now that he is head coach (remember, he was supposed to only be offensive coordinator last year).

Yeah everyone hears the chatter on shows about Ferentz and possible moves to other places but no one really hears about just how much the Institution, alumni, students and fans love the guy. Now that you guys see just how high his pay is you realize why no one can pull him away from Iowa. His boys play ball there and now one of his sons is a coach there. He pretty much is a King of Iowa City and Iowa City is a really nice town. It may not be all that huge but it has it's own charm that is undeniable.

Iowa loves it's Coach.

Re: Top Paid Coaches in College Football From 2011 Season

Ferentz is worth the $$ to me, great coach would love to have him coach a team of mine if they had an opening.
