His track record for hiring assistants is pretty great, I'd be down if he promised not to hire Mike.

Practicing....but still ineligible right? There hasn’t been any announcement to the contrary right?
He's redshirting because of academics. That doesn't stop him from practicing, he just can't play. They already announced it last week so I don't think there's really anything else to announce at this point?

Kirk seems pretty okay with it and was complimentary of what he's done since he got on campus, so I don't think there's too much danger of him not being eligible next year

NIU had arguably the best defense in the G5 last year, although they were playing a really aggressive style that isn't all that similar to what Iowa does. Still definitely a worthwhile guy to take a shot on given the current LB situation

Is Northern Illinois where our wide receiver coach was at?

"While they may desire a moat between themselves and the outside world, the Ferentzes cannot appropriate the right-of-way easement, up to and into the Roadway surface — as their personal rampart," Tarr wrote in a filing.
Ferentz had been advised by his predecessor, the legendary football coach Hayden Fry, to live outside Iowa City and "build a moat."
Not so fast...

I'm guessing he tweeted that out because NIU is Iowa's first opponent.

Could be that, but if they're going to bring in a grad transfer that'd be the obvious place (well that and punter). Especially when it's a good player from a program in the area that Kirk respects a lot.

E: should have read that whole article, he wants to transfer to a school in Tex, where he's from. So you're right. Still good news for Iowa though.

It looks like he is throwing a no-look swing route with a jazz hand.

Is Ronda Rousey a new QB walk-on we haven't heard about?
