Brian Ferentz will not be the offensive coordinator for the Hawkeye football team next year. Ferentz, son of head football coach Kirk Ferentz, is in his seventh season as offensive coordinator. Beth Goetz became Iowa’s interim athletics director in August. Goetz said in a written statement that she had conversions with both men as well as the university’s president and has informed Brian Ferentz this is his last season with the program.

The statement from Goetz made a passing reference to the team’s offensive struggles. Iowa has a six-and-two record, but the Hawkeyes’ offense ranks last nationally.
