1999

Taking over a Hawkeye team that finished the 1998 season last in the Big Ten in rushing and total offense, Kirk Ferentz faced a tough schedule, including a home opener against longtime powerhouse Nebraska, along with road games at Iowa State, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. At season’s end, the Hawks had tallied only one win, a 24-0 victory over Northern Illinois.

Recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, Hawkeye quarterback coach and Iowa legend Chuck Long left the Iowa coaching team to join Bobby Stoops’ coaching staff at the University of Oklahoma.
