Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz wants his team to avoid being satisfied as they open spring drills. The Hawks are coming off their second straight double digit win season after an impressive victory over Florida in the Outback Bowl. Ferentz says the players need to remember the hard work that got the program turned around. He says the new guys don’t have a full appreciation for what it took to move forward. Ferentz says in athletics things are really fragile and you have to work hard.He says the success of the past two season does not guarantee success in the 2004 campaign. He says he’s been out enough in public since the Outback Bowl and says the enthusiasm is great, but he says they didn’t win the national championship. He says they need to get back to work, as the “high five’n time is over.”
