In their first audio reaction to the Brian Ferentz contract news, the Register's Chad Leistikow and Kennington Smith convene to discuss all the layers of Monday's development that Iowa's OC needs to have the team win seven times and score 25 points per game to keep his job. Or at least that's what the contract says. Is it silly to make this public? Is Gary Barta or Kirk Ferentz more to blame for letting it get this far? How bizarre will this get by November? Kennington and Chad also discuss the Iowa men's surge with seven wins out of nine in Big Ten play, and Dargan Southard joins the show to discuss Caitlin Clark and preview a top-five women's showdown between Iowa and Indiana.
