The Hawkeye win Saturday over Iowa State was the 200th career coaching victory for Kirk Ferentz. Ferentz says he didn’t achieve the milestone alone.

 

Ferentz has been the head coach for 25 years since returning to Iowa and that include 188 of the 200 wins. He says counting wins isn’t the goal of a coach.

 

Hawkeye players say Ferentz was emotional in the locker room after the game. Offensive lineman Conor Colby says it was special to be able to deliver the 200th win to Ferentz.

Quarterback Cade McNamara transferred to Iowa this season.

Ferentz started at Iowa as an assistant and left to become head coach at Maine for three seasons before returning to the Hawkeyes.
