After withstanding years of criticism about nepotism and a floundering and unimaginative offense, Iowa brought clarity to Brian Ferentz's status on Monday as interim athletic director Beth Goetz announced head coach Kirk Ferentz's son will be out as offensive coordinator after this season. The Hawkeyes' offense has never been prolific in Brian Ferentz's seven seasons, but the unit has been in a free fall for three years. The team's 232.2 yards per game this season ranks last in the Football Bowl Subdivision by far and its scoring average of 19.5 points per game is 120th.
