A Record that may stand forever

[Tech Machine]

So we all know who just passed Woody Hayes as the winningest coach in Big Ten History. This record may be broken some day, Ryan Day may have a shot in 12 years or so…..But Mr Ferentz also owns the record for the most losses with 125 as of gameday today. Second place goes to Pat Fitzgerald who likely has coached his last Big Ten game, he has 101 and would have been a prohibitive favorite to take that title.

Amos Alonzo Stagg has 95 losses
John Pont has 94

Active coaches are Bulemia with 46
And Fleck with 40

Just throwing that out there because there is no game this week.

With the way coaches are getting shorter and shorter tenures there is a great chance Ferentz's record is never broken because someone would have to have a longevity that just doesn't happen anymore (especially in conferences like the Big Ten).

Hell, there were people ready to send Day packing if he didn't win it all last year.

Franklin has been at PSU 11, Fleck at Minnesota for 9.....combined they are still 7 years short of Ferentz tenure at Iowa.

PJ only needs about 10 more years of 12 wins a season to break that. Or 20 years of 6 wins a season. Something like that at least.

Well Kirk is going to win a few more games but when you put it like this it’s pretty breakable.

Fleck averaging 7.8 wins per full season.
Hes 44
He has 58 wins not including this year.
If he wins at the current pace he needs to match Ferentz from now until Ferentz quits plus 18-19 seasons.

So like, if Ferentz retires after 2027 fleck has to coach until he is 63 at the current pace of wins at Minnesota.

Ferentz's winning percentage at Iowa is marginally higher than Fleck’s (62.3 vs 60). So PJ would either need to overtake Ferentz's percentage (and coach a long time) or coach for a longer time at MN than Kirk does at Iowa.

I just looked over Ferentz's season by season record. He's been even more consistent than I thought. If I counted right, he has completed 26 B1G seasons. He's only had 5 losing B1G records and only 5 more .500 ones. So 16 winning B1G seasons. With that kind of run, its crazy to think it feels like he's been on the hot seat multiple times.
