Kirk Ferentz salary & contract details: How much does Iowa's coach get paid per year?

In a day and age where loyalty doesn't seem like something that matters in college football, Iowa's head coach Kirk Ferentz proves just the opposite. Ferentz has been coaching at Iowa for longer than most of their students have even been alive.

Ferentz also has a lot of coaching experience in his long history of coaching, which even includes another stint at Iowa early in his career. In Ferentz's first stint at Iowa, he coached with another guy who had a long career with one team, Bill Snyder.

As the third oldest coach in college football, Ferentz is not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon, and with how Iowa has performed, it seems like they are content with keeping him around.

With Nick Saban now out of the picture, Ferentz has become the longest-tenured coach in college football as he is ready to enter his 25th season as Iowa coach.

Ferentz has a tough season ahead of him as the Big Ten has added four new teams to the conference. The addition of Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC has elevated the competition for the Hawkeyes and they are set to face two of the new members with Washington and UCLA on their schedule.

So what does Kirk Ferentz's contract look like?

How much if Ferentz actually getting paid each season?

Ferentz signed a four-year contract extension with Iowa after the 2021 season that keeps him with the Hawkeyes through the 2029 season. Annually, he is making $7 million, broken down he has a $500,000 base, $5.5 million in supplemental compensation, and a $1 million longevity bonus.

By the time Feretnz's contract is set to expire, he will have coached at Iowa for 30 years. He might be ready to hang up his whistle by then, but all that depends on how his team performs over the next few years.
