re: Meet the Head Coach who made Saban's arse quit

You know that old trope about how you could have been great, if you only took the chance? That's Kirk Ferentz in totality.

I remember back when he came up, he was as highly regarded as Saban was. Yes, quite possibly he was the better coach.

But while Saban pushed the edges of his career and bounced around (on an upward trajectory), Ferentz played it safe and stayed at Iowa, comfortable, never growing.
