I know a few fans of the Big Ten that are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of Michigan hiring Ferentz. One cheers for Penn State, the other for OSU.
That about sums up that hire, in my opinion.
and yet...we beat LSU with Ferentz too when we were pretty big underdogs especially with the "GREAT SABAN" as the coach. Hmmm I guess that about sums up my opinion on that.
Ferentz isnt the best coach in the land, but he is good for Iowa. We havent done well last few years, but he is a good head coach. And besides...he turned the Mighty Michigan down...LMAO

Yeah why not pay a guy $3 milion who hasn't had a winning season in years. And that's in the Big 10!

Actually, what he said was along the lines of "Michigan football players were tracked into classes and/or majors that would keep them eligible to play."
He didn't impugn Michigan academics as a whole.

this blog covered it well:

They are not about to forget Jim Harbaugh for the swipe he took three months ago at his former school.
"He's not a Michigan man," Wolverine running back Mike Hart, right, told Angelique S. Chengelis of the Detroit News. "I wish he had never played here, but it is what it is."
Harbaugh, in his first year as Stanford coach, told the San Francisco Chronicle in May: "Michigan is a good school and I got a good education there, but the athletic department has ways to get borderline guys in, and when they're in, they steer them to courses in sports communications. They're adulated when they're playing, but when they get out, the people who adulated them won't hire them."
Jamie Morris, one of Harbaugh's teammates, used to consider the former quarterback a close friend. Today, they no longer speak.
"We've dissolved our friendship," Morris said.
Morris, who works in the Michigan athletic development department, said he talked to Harbaugh shortly after the comments were printed.
"I said, 'Jim, here's my question for you — do you really believe the comments you said, or are you saying them to make you look good?'
"He said, 'I believe them.' And I said, 'Would you have said it if [former coach] Bo [Schembechler] was alive?' He said, 'That's not the point.' And I said, 'That's exactly the point. You didn't hurt Michigan, you hurt your coach, and you hurt the guys you played with. These are the teammates you turned your back on.' "
Then it became heated.
"We said, 'We're not friends anymore,' " Morris said. " 'You lose my number, I lose yours.' "

basically, he wouldn't be hired if he was the last coach on earth.

oh please
if you do not hire Harbough in a year or two someone will hire him to a big time programPosted on 12/6/07 at 2:09 pm to Turbo
i really don't give a shite, but a lot of former players (and more importantly, the administration) despise the guy over this.

He's also dissed Cal.
TSD: I see most schools across college football selling out in order to win: taking kids that wouldn't get into that school if they didn't run a 4.4, funneling them through easy courses, looking the other way when they get into trouble. You mentioned Michigan, but a lot of Stanford fans would say that's the route Cal used to turn its program around. What do you think? Do Stanford and Cal differ in terms of how they prioritize academics and football?
JH: I don't think there's any doubt about it. It's a pretty wide gap. Right now, Stanford is No. 1 in the country at 92 percent graduation, and Cal's at 44 percent. So, I'd say they're cutting some corners.
Basically, the guy is a douche.
