Rumor: Ferentz Talking To Michigan

[HILLCYD]

So let me get this straight. Michigan's fan base was sure it was going to get Les Miles, now it is going to be Kirkie?

That is kind of like being told that AC/DC is going to play your birthday party and when the time comes it ends up being the Bacon Brothers....

who has Marty's dentist number? I'm sure he'll confirm the rumors...

It would be hilarious if Ferentz went to Michigan and Ken O'Keefe was promoted to head coach at Iowa. The hawk fans would implode.

Why would Michigan want to hire a coach with the same boring/predictable style of football as they have been playing under Lloyd Carr?

If KOK became the head coach that would be the best. I think IC would get burnt to the ground.

Apparently they like the boring/predictable type of football. I love reading the message boards of Michigan's, with lots of posters saying they will quite coming to football games if KF gets hired.

Detroit Free Press speculating on a lot of names...

Read the article with KF's picture and the reader comments.

The list Michigan has to choose from is embarassing. KF is certaiinly the best of the worst.

It really is surprising that there haven't been bigger names floating around. Part of it could be that it's been hidden from the public but with that big of a job, you would have expected more names to have been leaked. Now obviously there aren't any high profile coaches actively looking for jobs but I still would have expected other names by now with a little more flair.

Steve ***** was convinced yesterday on Miller's show, that they were going to offer Bob Stoops within 24 hours.

I completely agree. In fact, if Gene Chizik had been available this year, he was a sure thing for a "big"program, or if he had won seven here his first year, we might have been in trouble. I hope not, but it's a fast world.

First time I've heard that name and Michigan together. A big stretch.

However, it certainly wouldn't suck.

Let the "KF to OU" rumors begin!

[CyPlainsDrifter]

Everybody talks about a pay cut, but I'm not sure I agree that it's an issued. He's made more money than he'll ever need at Iowa. Michigan is the better overall job. Let's say he makes half of what he's making now. Wouldn't that be worth the cut? It's not like he's in dire financial staits.

Drop Iowa and take the job. Win big games, beat OSU, compete for the Big Ten title/BCS spot and money will take care of itself. It really shouldn't be an issue. It'll be there eventually.

I agree. He can easily still get 1.5+ million from Mich and be rich as hell.

[ketelmeister]

Has KF made ANY statements about absolutely staying at Iowa next season? If someone has seen that quote, I'd love a source.

[Jeremy]

There were rumors put out by one poster on a Hawk board over a week ago that KF withdrew his name from the MI job but nobody ever had a good source and obviously he hasn't even been seen in about two weeks. He hasn't even gone to the Iowa MBB games when recruits have been there.

I know less about todays recruiting that anyone here, so let me ask this question. Are these rumors, regardless of if they are true or false, helping us with Iowa high school kids that we are recruiting?? I've heard that Chiz makes a big impression on both players and their coaches when he visits high schools. I'm hoping this little bit of intrigue at Iowa will help Chiz start dominating instate recruiting. Other than that, who coaches Iowa doesn't make much difference to me.
