"Iowa Taps Packers Analyst Tim Lester as New Offensive Coordinator"

Iowa is set to hire Tim Lester, a former Western Michigan coach and Green Bay Packers analyst, as its new offensive coordinator to replace Brian Ferentz. Lester, who has previous experience as an offensive coordinator at Syracuse, will be tasked with revitalizing an Iowa offense that has struggled in recent seasons, with the team finishing near the bottom of the FBS in scoring. Despite his dismissal from Western Michigan, Lester's teams consistently boasted productive offenses, and he will now look to bring that success to the Hawkeyes.

Iowa's Offense Shines in Victory over Illinois

Iowa's offense stepped up in their 15-13 victory over Illinois, with sophomore running back Kaleb Johnson delivering the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The win clinched the Big Ten West Division championship for No. 16 Iowa. The victory was also significant as it marked offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz's last game as a Hawkeye at Kinnick Stadium. The defense, which has carried the team all year, played a crucial role in the win as well. Iowa will finish its regular season at Nebraska and has secured a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Iowa Offensive Coordinator Brian Ferentz's Future Uncertain

Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of longtime coach Kirk Ferentz, will not return for the 2024 season due to the offense's struggles and his contract situation. The decision was made by interim athletic director Beth Goetz, who supervises Ferentz because of nepotism laws. Iowa's offense has been performing poorly this season, ranking 118th nationally in scoring offense and last in yards per game. Ferentz's contract included a points-per-game provision that the team failed to meet. The Hawkeyes have faced setbacks with injuries to key players. Kirk Ferentz, the head coach, has had only three offensive coordinators in his tenure.

The final decision on Ferentz's future rests with interim athletic director Beth Goetz, who does not have a longstanding relationship with the Ferentz family.
