The Iowa Hawkeyes have given longtime coach Kirk Ferentz a six-year contract extension and raise through the 2025 season, the school announced Tuesday.Ferentz, 61, will make $4.5 million per season under the new extension, which the school said runs through Jan. 31, 2026. He had been paid a little more than $4 million annually under his old agreement.The buyout on Ferentzs previous deal, which guaranteed him 75 percent of the guaranteed pay remaining on the contract if Iowa fired him, was heavily criticized by Hawkeyes fans and others. The new contract changes the buyout structure but is still hefty, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette.Under the new deal, if Iowa were to fire Ferentz for reasons other than a scandal or physical incapacity, he would be owed 100 percent of his guaranteed money in 2016 and 2017 and 75 percent of it between 2018 and 2020. For each of the years from 2021 to 2025, Iowa would owe him 50 percent of his salary. For each year between 2016 and 2020 that the Hawkeyes win at least seven games, one of the years from 2021-2026 would convert to a 100 percent buyout.Ferentz would also receive a $1.5 million bonus for winning a national title, $375,00 for making the College Football Playoff and $250,000 for winning a Big Ten title.Ive said it many times: I would like Kirk to retire as a Hawkeye, and this contract is a strong statement toward that commitment, Iowa athletic director Gary Barta said in a statement released by the school.Ferentz is already tied for the current longest tenure at a school in the FBS, as he and Oklahomas Bob Stoops were both hired in 1999. Ferentz was already signed through the 2019 season, but the school rewarded him after a 12-2 season in 2015 that included appearances in the Big Ten title game and the Rose Bowl.Iowa is home to me, my wife, Mary, and our five children, Ferentz, 61, said in a statement. We moved a lot during the early years of coaching, but once we arrived in Iowa City, this quickly became our home. We appreciate and value what it is to be an Iowan and an Iowa Hawkeye.Ferentz won Big Ten coach of the year honors last season, as well as national coach of the year recognition from several organizations.The Hawkeyes opened the 2016 season with a 45-21 win over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday.Ferentz will surpass Hayden Fry, whom he worked with for years as an assistant, as the longest-tenured coach in Iowa history if he stays through the end of his new deal. Fry coached for 20 seasons at Iowa.There were two great coaches here, [Ferentz] and [Hayden] Fry, linebacker Josey Jewell said. Hes an amazing coach, an amazing guy to look up to. He does all the small things right.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The New York Jets travel across the country in something of a funk, as their coach Todd Bowles returns to familiar turf.His longtime friend and former boss, Arizona coach Bruce Arians, has had problems of his own.The Cardinals (2-3) were ballyhooed as a sure-fire contender, but already have lost as many games as they did all of last season.They are coming off a 33-21 victory over San Francisco , though, and quarterback Carson Palmer returns after sitting out the 49ers game with a concussion.The Jets (1-4) are having a tough time against a schedule that opened with four of their first five foes having participated in the playoffs last season.New York lost the first three of those matchups, most recently a 31-13 beating at Pittsburgh , as they head into a Monday night encounter with the Cardinals.Bowles was a popular defensive coordinator with the Cardinals for two seasons before getting the job with the Jets.The only other guy Ive been around that had the amount of respect that his defensive guys have for him is with Mike Zimmer, Palmer said of the coach of unbeaten Minnesota, who was defensive coordinator in Cincinnati when Palmer was with the Bengals.Its also a homecoming for New York quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who grew up in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert.Here are some things to watch for when the Jets face the Cardinals in New Yorks first trip to Arizona since 2004:GOOD FRIENDSArians and Bowles, whose relationship spans three decades, arent the only good buddies on opposite sides of the field Monday night. Palmer calls Fitzpatrick a great friend.Their relationship stems from their two seasons as teammates in Cincinnati in 2007 and `08.Whenever Im not playing against him, Im rooting for him so hard, Fitzpatrick said, because of just the way that he approaches everything and the way that he lives his life on and off the field. I think hes one of the more impressive guys Ive ever met in my life.DECKERS DOWNJets wide receiver Eric Decker was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a partially torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, and will have season-ending surgery. He was inactive for two games after initially being injured at Buffalo in Week 2 and the shoulder worsening at Kansas City the following week.Its a big blow to the Jets struggling offense, which still has Brandon Marshall (24 catches) and Quincy Enunwa (team-leading 27 receptions), but the rest of the receiving corps is young and inexperienced. Rookies Robby Anderson, Jalinn Marshall and Charone Peake could see increased snaps, starting with the game at Arizona.ddddddddddddTOUGH SLEDDINGDavid Johnson rushed for 157 yards and two against the 49ers, earning NFC offensive player of the week honors, but it will be a lot tougher against a Jets defense that has given up just 68 rushing yards per game, second-best in the NFL.Its even more challenging because Arizona lost starting guards Mike Iupati and Evan Mathis to ankle injuries in the San Francisco game. The replacements are Earl Watford and John Wetzel, who normally plays tackle.Theyve got their hands full, Arians said. They were uncovered for most of the game in San Francisco, blocking linebackers. Theyre going to have big, strong dudes on top of them this game.BIG PLAYSThe Cardinals have had trouble making the big passing plays that were their trademark in their 13-3 season last year.That could change against a Jets team that has had issues with giving up big plays through the air. New Yorks pass defense ranks 31st out of 32 teams.Thats a stunning spot for the Jets, who went into the season thinking the secondary would be a strength. But Darrelle Revis struggled during the first few games before missing last weeks game at Pittsburgh with a hamstring injury. Hes uncertain to play against Arizona.Darryl Roberts saw a lot of snaps against the Steelers before injuring a shoulder in the game, but fully practiced Thursday. Buster Skrine, Marcus Williams, rookie Juston Burris and the recently signed Nick Marshall are the Jets other healthy cornerbacks.LOOKING UP?After an alarming stretch in which he threw nine interceptions in two games, Fitzpatrick got through the game against the Steelers without getting picked off. It was his best performance since Week 2, when he threw for 374 yards and a touchdown in 37-31 victory at Buffalo, after which he was selected the AFC offensive player of the week.He still leads the NFL with 10 INTs, though, two more than Tampa Bays Jameis Winston.Fitzpatrick has just five touchdown passes through five games, way off his pace from last season, when he set the franchise record with 31 TD tosses.Ryan will bounce back. Hes just that guy, Palmer said. Hopefully, its not against us.---AP Sports Writer Dennis Waszak in Florham Park, New Jersey, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
