Interesting take from a writer from the Forbes staff on Ferentz's contract and Iowa's buyout on him. Not sure if Iowa would actually pull the trigger on something like this but was still a good perspective of the breakdown of his contract and what Iowa would be looking at.

Seriously.

People were calling for Pauls firing with a huge buyout a week and half ago.

Now Forbes is suggesting Kirk is on the launchpad.

Folks, the season is still young.

ISU is so low right now that any team we beat we are putting their coach on the hot seat.

Mack Brown didn't last very long after ISU took down Texas. If we can pull out a win of UT that's probably enough to really shorted the career of their current guy.

Iowa's case is much different than ours...Ferentz is a top paid coach and several of Iowa's losses can be directly attributed to poor coaching decisions. I'm not saying he should be fired, but Iowa does have a much more logical claim than ISU to fire their head coach if you ask me.

Can they afford to not fire him? They're not even filling the stadium and t-shirt sales are down at Walmart.

Black and gold tarps are cheap.
