Not to go all LWade here, but I heard yesterday that he plans on "at least another 3-4 years".
Lwade said he heard this was his last season, I thought.

My daughter will be a freshman at Iowa next fall, so that would potentially have him there for her entire four years, which is nuts to think about because I was 16 years old when Ferentz was hired.
Stuff like this is fun. He was hired when I was in 4th grade, which is what grade my oldest is now. Crazy

Roommates with Jeremy Allen and Tim Dodge as a 19 year old Sophomore when Ferentz got hired. If he stays around as long as posted above, my kid will be graduating college and I'll be turning 50 years old.

My son is there now in his freshman year. Kirk showed up my Junior year. That’s kind of fucked up - but I’m cool with it.

When Kirk was named head coach I was 16, going into my senior year of high school. Got a DUI that summer and spent the only night of my life in jail while he was in his first training camp at Iowa

Had he known you were in there, I bet he would have bailed you out. He's a pretty good dude.

I’m glad you turned your life around after that moment. A lesser man might have let that moment define them.

Tim Dodge is a dick. One of the most abrasive, full of himself, assholes I’ve ever met.

He was nice to me and got along with him well, but he was your typical "my dad is a pastor and I'm a child of god and I've got a wholesome girlfriend" that abandoned a lot of that for a while in college before coming back to it.

Flunked his Freshman English writing class because he cheated by using the paper of another track guy named Dan from Canada who was in another session and and changed a few paragraphs around in the middle and tried to submit it as his own. They caught him, flunked him and put him on probation. I told him it was stupid before he did it. Didn't listen.

I was also a sophomore at Iowa when Kirk was hired and my son will be a freshman at Iowa next year. He might have more years in school with KF as the head coach than I did.

I was kidding. He seemed like a super laid back, genuinely nice dude. I met him long after college though.

I'll tell another Tim Dodge story. When he was a freshman or sophomore, there was a OL that transferred to Washington on the team that eventually ended up on American Idol. Tim was walking to the showers after practice, back in the day when they still had mass showers with no individual stalls. This OL picked him up butt naked and carried him around the locker room showing him off to everyone saying "Look at the fuckin' pecker on this little guy! You ever seen a pecker like that on a little white guy??" while all the upper class guys laughed their ass off.

Jeremy Allen relayed this story to us the night it happened because of how weird he thought it was. He refused to shower in the locker room. He always came home to shower.

He was a nice guy, but I could see how some wouldn't like him. He could be pretty arrogant to others, mostly the judgmental religious stuff.

I didn’t talk to him for long enough to get into any shit like that, fortunately.

The OL name is Matt Rogers. He was not the starting QB at Iowa in 1991

I also hung out with Robert a lot his Freshman year when he was just a skinny redshirt TE. He was a good, funny dude and a funny drunk that ran from the cops a few times and got himself cut up on a fence and held his head when he was puking and crying once.
