DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS - GARY BARTA

in scoreboards, ribbon boards, and video walls at historic Kinnick

Stadium, construction o the aorementioned $6 million Hoak FamilyGol Complex at Iowas award-winning Finkbine Gol Course, tur

replacement at Grant Field, the home o Iowas nationally ranked feldhockey program, resuracing o the courts at the Klotz Tennis Center,

the home o Iowas mens and womens tennis programs, and the

construction o a new indoor tur acility.On the horizon or Barta, rom a acilities perspective, is the

planning and construction o the Hawkeye Campus. Located on thewestern edge o the UI campus, immediately west o Finkbine Gol

Course and adjacent to the UIs Athletics Hall o Fame, the practice

and competition sites or Iowas soccer and feld hockey programs,and the UI Sports Medicine Clinic, and near the UIs Ashton Cross

Country Course, the Hawkeye Campus is envisioned to be the newhome or Iowas track and feld, sotball, and baseball programs.

Another avorite saying o Bartas is, Vision without resources is

irrelevant. Over the course o his career he has been directly involvedin raising hundreds o millions o dollars in support o intercollegiate

athletics. This task has remained a primary ocus during his tenureat Iowa, where private support or the Hawkeyes continues to be

a critical piece to Iowas ability to remain one o a handul o NCAADivision I intercollegiate athletics programs that are 100 percent sel-

sustaining fnancially.

Under Bartas leadership -- and thanks to a talented athleticsdevelopment sta - the UI has seen year-over-year improvement

in annual giving in spite o the dicult economic environment. Inaddition, under Bartas direction, the UI generated more than $20

million o philanthropic and corporate sponsorship support or the

revitalization o Carver-Hawkeye Arena and more than $30 million osupport or phases I and II o the projects designed to position Iowas

ootball program or success in the next decade.The UI also generated the $2 million in private support necessary

to ully und the Hawkeyes new practice acility or its mens and

womens gol programs. Philanthropicsupport will also play a critical role in the

development o the Hawkeye Campus. Bartas involvement in the UI campus and

the greater Iowa City communities extendsar beyond his position as director o the

UIs intercollegiate athletics programs. He

is a member o the Presidents Cabinet,comprised o vice presidents and other

campus leaders that provide counsel toUI President Sally Mason. That group was

instrumental in the UIs response to record-

setting ooding that besieged the campusand the Iowa City and Coralville community

in June 2008.Barta also represents the UI and the

Hawkeyes at the conerence and national

level. During his frst six years at the UI,

he has participated in the creation andimplementation o the Big Ten Network,the expansion o the Big Ten Conerence

and realignment o athletics conerencesnationally, and the Big Tens postseason

bowl game agreements that were

successully implemented in 2010.Nationally, Barta remains active in the

Division IA Athletics Directors Association,the National Association o College

Directors o Athletics, and currently serves

on the NCAA Football Committee Board oDirectors.

Barta is also involved in a variety o community groups, included

the United Way o Johnson County and Partnership or Alcohol Saetya joint eort between UI campus leaders and the city o Iowa City.

Barta oten suggests to his sta that Hope is not a strategy, whichis why he is currently overseeing a comprehensive review o the

strategic plan or the UI Athletics Department and has worked with

the UIs leadership on a long-term fnancial plan.As the director o athletics at the University o Wyoming or three

years, seven dierent UW coaches were named Mountain WestConerence Coach o the Year. He also spearheaded a und-raising

eort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private

support and $11 million in matching state und.As the senior associate athletics director at the University o

Washington, he directed the Campaign or the Student-Athlete,was a participant in the design, construction and/or renovation o

several UW athletics acilities, including Bank o America Arena and

the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility. In addition to almost doublingthe amount o annual private support received by UW, Barta also

managed the departments external relations division, a task thaincluded corporate sponsorship and radio contracts.

His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to includehiring o coaching and administrative sta, and the day-to-day

oversight o several Huskie sport teams.

The roots o his development experience extend to his frst twopositions: director o athletics development and external relations a

the University o Northern Iowa and director o development at hisalma mater, North Dakota State University.

Barta earned a Bachelor o Science degree in mass communication

and broadcast journalism rom NDSU in 1987. He was an optionquarterback or Bison ootball squads that won the Division II NCAA

National Championship in 1983, 1985 and 1986.Barta, and his wie, Connie, have a son, Luke (15) and a daughter

Madison (13). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

HEAD COACH - KIRK FERENTZ

Kirk FerentzHead Football Coach

15th Year at Iowa

Kirk Ferentz is in his 15th season as head

ootball coach at the University o Iowa. Histenure as Iowas head ootball coach trails

only Hayden Fry, who led the Hawkeyes or 20

seasons (1979-98). Ferentz is the dean o Big TenConerence ootball coaches. He is tied or third

in coaching longevity among BCS schools andtied or fth among all Division I head coaches.

Following the 2009 campaign Ferentz was named Dave McClainBig Ten Coach o the Year or the third time in eight years. He joins

the select company o Hayden Fry, Joe Paterno and Bo Schembechler

in winning the prestigious award at least three times. He was namedBig Ten Coach o the Year in 2002 and 2004. He was also named

national Coach o the Year by the Associated Press and Walter CampFoundation in 2002. Ferentz was named a 2009 Regional Coach o the

Year by the American Football Coaches Association as well. Ferentzhad guided Iowa to 10 bowl appearances in 14 seasons. His six bowl

victories put him in a tie or third all-time among Big Ten coaches.

Under Ferentz, the Hawkeyes have put together the greatest run inschool history. The Hawkeyes won 11 games in 2002 and 2009 and 10

games in 2003 and 2004. With a 7-5 record in 2005, Iowa posted a our-year mark (2002-05) o 38-12, the best in school history. In addition,

Iowas 25 Big Ten wins were the most ever by a Hawkeye team in a our-

year span. No other Big Ten team won more league games over thatour-year period. He is 100-74 (.575) in his 14 years as Iowas head coach.

Ferentz and his sta have led the Hawkeyes to bowl eligible status in11 o the last 12 seasons. The Hawkeyes appeared in six straight bowl

games between 2001 and 2006, the second longest bowl streak in

school history (Iowa appeared in eight straight bowl games rom 1981-88). Iowas streak under Ferentz included a string o our straight January

bowls rom 2002-05. Iowa was just one o eight schools in the nation toappear in six January bowl games between 2002-09. The Hawkeyes have

placed in the Big Tens frst division in 10 o the last 12 seasons.The Hawkeyes are 57-17 (.770) in Kinnick Stadium since the start o

the 2002 season, winning 25 o their last 33 home games. That mark

includes a school-record 22-game winning streak (2002-05), whichended in an overtime loss. Iowa sold out 36 straight home games

during that time and has sold out 62 o its last 65 games.The Hawkeyes posted a 4-8 overall record in 2012. Iowa lost our

games by three points or less, including two games in which the

opponent won on a feld goal on the fnal play. Iowa was the onlyteam in the nation to have six regular season games decided by three

points or less. Three o Iowas wins came over teams that advanced topostseason play. Senior DB Micah Hyde earned the Tatum-Woodson

Deensive Back o the Year Award in the Big Ten and was selected by

Green Bay in the 2013 NFL Drat.Iowa posted a 7-6 mark in 2011 (4-4 in Big Ten). WR Marvin

McNutt, Jr., was named the leagues top receiver. McNutt and OLRiley Rei were unanimous frst-team all-Big Ten selections. McNutt

set both single season and career receiving records, while QB JamesVandenberg passed or over 3,000 yards. For the third straight year,

six Hawkeyes were selected in the NFL Drat. Rei became Iowas third

frst round selection in the last three years.The 2010 Hawkeyes were ranked virtually the entire season. Iowa

capped the season on a high note with a 27-24 win over 12th-rankedMissouri in the Insight Bowl. The win gave the Hawkeyes an 8-5

season record (4-4 Big Ten, ourth place).

Four Hawkeyes were named to the frst all-Big Ten team, while sevenothers were named second team. DE Adrian Clayborn was a fnalist or

the Lombardi and Ted Hendricks awards, punter Ryan Donahue was a

fnalist or the Ray Guy Punter o the Year Award and QB Ricky Stanzi

was a fnalist or the Johnny Unitas Senior Quarterback o the YearAward. Six Hawkeyes were selected in the 2011 NFL Drat.

The 2009 Hawkeyes (11-2) won their frst nine games (a schoolrecord) while ranking as high as ourth in the BCS rankings. The loss

o starting QB Ricky Stanzi in the 10th game was a key actor in Iowa

losing two straight games beore winning its regular season fnaleand the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl. Iowa fnished in a tie or second (6-

2) in the Big Ten, alling to Ohio State on the road in overtime in whatwas, essentially, the Big Ten title game.

Seven Hawkeyes earned frst team all-Big Ten honors in 2009,

including OL Bryan Bulaga, who was named league Oensive Linemano the Year. Six Hawkeyes were selected in the 2010 NFL Drat.

The 2008 Hawkeyes caught fre in the second hal o the season bywinning six o their fnal seven games. Iowa fnished the season with

a 9-4 record (5-3 in the Big Ten), with the losses coming by a total o

12 points. A win over previously undeeated and third-ranked PennState (24-23) was the biggest highlight o the successul stretch run.

The icing on the cake was a convincing 31-10 win over South Carolinain the 2009 Outback Bowl at Tampa, Fla. Iowa fnished 20th in both

the AP and coaches fnal polls.Four Hawkeyes made the 2008 frst all-Big Ten team, with two

gaining considerable individual honors. RB Shonn Greene won the

Doak Walker Award as the nations top running back. He was also thewinner o the Chicago Tribunes Silver Football, emblematic o the

leagues most valuable player. He was named the Big Tens oensivePlayer o the Year by both league coaches and media. Greene was also

the MVP o the Outback Bowl. DT Mitch King was named the leagues

Deensive Lineman o the Year while earning all-league frst teamhonors or the second straight year.

Iowas 6-6 record in 2007 included a 4-4 mark in Big Ten play. Iowaclimbed as high as 12th in the 2006 polls while winning fve o its frst

six games. Injuries and inopportune mistakes played a role as the

Hawkeyes struggled or consistency during the second hal o theseason. Still, a 24-21 loss to 15th-ranked Wisconsin and a two-point loss

to 16th-ranked Texas in the Alamo Bowl showed Iowas toughness.Ferentz led Iowa to a third place Big Ten fnish in 2005. An overtime

loss to Michigan and a last-minute, one point loss at Northwestern isall that kept the Hawkeyes out o contention or a third Big Ten title

in our years. Iowa returned to the Outback Bowl, its ourth straight
