A league source tells us that Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has a "real shot" at becoming the next coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

Since Ferentz is a college coach and Michigan is a college job, the story isn't directly relevant to a pro football site. But because Ferentz's name comes up from time to time in connection with NFL vacancies, it deserves a mention here.

Some believe that Ferentz has been waiting to jump to the NFL until Pats V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli is a General Manager with another team, and is hiring a head coach. As the source pointed out to us, however, capping a 6-6 season with a loss to Western Michigan might require Ferentz to jump out of Iowa, before he's eventually pushed.
