If a college football coach is going to make the nutty sum of
$2.84 million a year, it might as well be Kirk Ferentz.
Ferentz has built Iowa into a Big Ten and national power, runs a
Listerine-clean program and is the charismatic, humble spokesman
every school would want for their program.
He also is Iowa's highest paid state employee by far and got a
$1.4 million bonus just to sign his latest contract extension (that
came after a 7-5 season). Ferentz's $2.84 million payday is almost 72
times what the average Iowa teacher will make this year ($39,284).
Sure, Iowa's teachers are building the minds and shaping character of
the state's future leaders, but can they beat Michigan?
We can cringe ...
