For Matt Campbell to match Kirk Ferentz’s numbers, he would have to have THIS resume over the next 17 years:
•Average 7.8 wins**
•Have 7 AP top-25 finishes
•Finish 5 times in the AP top-10
•Go to 16 bowl games
•Go to 3 BCS/NY6 games (Win 1)
•Produce 23 All-Americans
•Win an AP COY
•Have players win: AP POY, O’Brien Award, Mackey Award x2, Groza Award, Doak Walker Award, Jim Thorpe Award, Outland Trophy x2
**Cy fans will say, “BuT tHeY pLaY iN tHe BiG tEn WeSt”... take away the last 4 years for KF (37 wins) and MC will have to average 7.4 wins to match KF.
Something tells me you’d take that. I’d say Kirk is a pretty good coach
