Yeah, Ferentz passed his 5-year quota for having a 10+ win season. He just went from hot seat to raise and job more secure than Saban's.
Hell a 10 win season would have made his job more secure than Saban's. Iowa is content with less. Dude can go 5-7 the next 2 years, then secure his job with another 10 win season after. Not that I am mocking that mentality, just the reality of the situation.

Iowa will be Top 10 in preseason poll and go 7-5 during the season, with a loss to Iowa State. Well, in 2010, Iowa won 9 games after their 11-2 season.

Seems to be Iowa's thing no? Have a really good season then struggle the next? I don't have a list of their records, might just be how I perceive it because of a lesser season following a really good one.

Well, had a 3-year stretch of 10-wins from 2002-2004, but basically been 1 every 5 years since.

Gotcha. I remembered the early 2000's a bit, but I was young then. Around 2003 I was old enough to watch and follow all the games, but I was still a kind of young. Details like that unless it pertains to my team slips my mind.

Iowa had some studs during that time, some went on to be studs in NFL, like Bob Sanders, Dallas Clark, Nate Kaeding, and Jonathon Babineaux (who I think is still playing for the Falcons).

Their game vs LSU in the 2005 Capital One Bowl (2004 season) was amazing game. It was "The Catch" that beat LSU in Saban's last game as LSU coach.

Only thing preventing Miles from coming to Tucson at this point is our artificial turf not being edible.
