Ok, so in almost every thread we hash about Ferentz, stay or go, go or stay, etc. I for one have been on both sides of the fence many times. My biggest disappointment in Ferentz is consistency. He built a 10 win team, and although I know it's unrealistic to maintain that, he should at least be in the 8 win range every year. With that said, here is Ferentz's most successful against foes.
10 wins – Minnesota (10-5)
8 wins – Penn State (8-4)
7 wins – Michigan State (7-5)
7 wins – Indiana (7-5)
7 wins – Iowa State (7-8)
6 wins – Purdue (6-4)
6 wins – Wisconsin (6-6)
5 wins – Illinois (5-3)
5 wins – Michigan (5-5)
5 wins – Northwestern (5-7)
Minnesota should be a given, Penn State is kind of a surprise, Indiana should be better, Iowa State is my PISSED off moment, shouldn't have lost a single game to them. Purdue/Wisconsin/Illinois is about right, Michigan again a surprise considering before Ferentz took over we only had 8 wins in the history of the series. Northwestern, well Fitzpatrick is building a little dynasty there and at least he's maintaining it.
He's 6 and 4 in bowl games, a couple of Big 10 titles.
I seem to think he's willing to change enough to get back on track. If what has currently transpired this year is work towards being a more flexible head coach I'm back on his side. No matter what happens the rest of the year record wise, so long as I don't feel like we got "out coached", then that would be progress.
Thoughts?
