Just for fun I thought I would do a list of the coaches who overachieve. These coaches do More with Less. Over the past four years these coaches have finished higher in their conference than they should have, according to recruiting. Kirk Ferentz leads the pack by finishing SIX places higher in B1G standings than his recruiting had him. Obviously a pretty good HC, but Ferentz just can't recruit ..... or is it good players just don't want to go to Iowa?
