Right on... remember the Stanzi vs. Christensen QB controversy? When Christensen signed, he was, hands down the more favored recruit. He was highly touted coming out of high school. Stanzi was virtually an unknown outside of Ohio. However, when Christensen failed to produce, along comes Stanzi in a heated starting QB competition in which Stanzi ultimately won, in what I would consider to be relatively convincing fashion.
I am an Iowan who likes the Hawkeyes (not as much as the Chiefs though) and I am not for the Chiefs hiring Ferentz as the HC. HOWEVER, one positive I can see coming from this is the fact that I have seen numerous quotes/implications from Pioli that indicate that he has a great amount of respect for Ferentz. The fact that Pioli respects Ferentz would possibly open up the window for the two being co-productive and Ferentz not being a Pioli "gopher" like Mcdaniels would be.
