How much does Kirk Ferentz earn annually in 2024?

Kirk Ferentz has directed a number of wins on the Iowa sidelines during his 26 seasons. Precisely 200 of them in fact.

Those 200 victories at Iowa have Ferentz trailing only Woody Hayes in overall wins by a Big Ten head coach in college football history.

As one of the models of consistency in college football, Ferentz is appropriately well compensated.

After signing a four-year contract extension following the 2021 season, Ferentz earns $7 million annually. It includes a $500,000 base, $5.5 million in supplemental compensation and a $1 million longevity bonus.

Ferentz’s contract runs through the 2029 season and expires on Jan. 31, 2030. If Ferentz stays for the duration of his contract, he will have served as Iowa’s head coach for 30 seasons.

In USA TODAY Sports’ updated college football head coach salary rankings, Ferentz checks in as the nation’s No. 23 highest-paid head coach. Ferentz ranks eighth among Big Ten head coaches.

“I don’t know what I’ll feel like at 70 or 72. If I feel like this, I’ll keep going for a while. I will say this. I’m not going to do this at age 78,” Ferentz said in June 2021.

The longtime Hawkeye head coach has been a part of a pair of Big Ten championships in 2002 and 2004. Ferentz also led Iowa to Big Ten West titles in 2015, 2021 and 2023.

With Ferentz steering the Hawkeyes, Iowa has earned 21 bowl invitations. Ferentz is tied for first all-time among Big Ten head coaches with 10 bowl victories.

Iowa has finished with a winning record in each of the past 11 seasons and looks primed to make that 12 seasons in a row given the start in 2024.

In Ferentz, Iowa knows the consistent results it’s going to get.
