Another Kirk Ferentz quote.

But Iowa's Kirk Ferentz said he isn't comfortable talking about coaches' workloads or stress levels. Ferentz points out that the father of Iowa linebacker Jeff Tarpinian recently did some duty in Iraq.

"Coaching football is a pretty good deal compared to ammo coming in and all that stuff going out and it's all concrete and desert and 120 degrees every day," Ferentz said. "That makes this look pretty easy to me."
