Kirk Ferentz confirms that he plans to coach Iowa in 2026: "26? That's next year, right? God, I hope so. Unless you know something I don't know. I just tell them (recruits) the truth.

I've got permission from my wife to keep doing this. It's what I like doing. I really enjoy doing it. Unless we just screw this up beyond repair, which we're trying to do right now in college football, I don't envision stopping anytime in the near future. It's just what I do. I don't golf. When I did, I stunk. So I don't see going back to that. That's irreparable, too — my golf game."
