New OC

[winmac]

Bill O'Brien has entered the chat.

His chin butt entered first.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

No need to be an ass

I bet that thing smells

 

[MikeyJoe]

Take it with a dash of salt but im also seeing smoke around saban being fed up with the 'magnifying glass' of Tuscaloosa and thag he has entered into exploratory talks for a sort of 'associate head coach / coach in waiting role in iowa city, which he feels is more a bespoke fit to his central identity. Dont take it to the bank but rhats what im hearing.

@Jim Tebow has been given a 3 week reply ban from this thread for this truly terrible post.

Never stopped you before

 

[BBK]

Oh you

 

[Will McCoy]

Seasons over. Do we have an OC yet ?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

There’s going to be a slight delay.

 

[hawkeyealum]

The candidate is looking for stamps to mail in his application.

 

[The Dad]

Having trouble reaching the references.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Brian had the easiest performance goal of all time. To the point that we rightfully mocked Gary Barta for how stupid it was.

Yet he still managed to fuck that up in the most glorious fashion of all time. 78 teams hit Brian’s goal and he missed it by nearly 10 points per game.

Only 4 Big Ten teams though for what that’s worth. Brian was still a trainwreck.

 

[CleteyColgate]

If no one accepts, Kirk has another son to fall back on.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Having trouble reaching the references.

 

[Creed]

I like to think that Philbin already has an application on file with the UofI from the 90s so it’s unlikely to be him.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Knowing how the UofI operates, I bet they still accept paper applications and have some big file cabinet. Peggy is probably calling Barry Alvarez right now to try and get reference checks for Chryst. "sorry Kirk, but we can't move forward with a candidate until we get their references and they pass the drug test."

Yep, it was more the way that it happened. The complete and total ineptitude across the board offensively.

I am not as bullish as Doug on the playoff potential of this squad next season, but month ago they played in a game with the National Champs that was there for the taking had they been able to do anything. Win that and they are right there around #12. Hell, had we not gotten fucked in the Minnesota game we would have beeen right around there going into the Big Ten Championship game. It isn’t as far fetched as some seem to think.

Make a decent hire who can call plays and who knows? CCMF

I believe pretty much any story that involves the rank stupidity of UI hiring procedures.

Imagine, if you will, that a long-time successful college football coach suddenly and without warning resigns in the off-season. An interim coach is hired, a coach at a lower-ranking program but who is an alum and protege of the old coach. The new coach continues the success of the old coach and fully expects to be hired by his alma mater, but isn't because the hiring committee didn't review enough candidates. HOWEVER, the problem with number of candidates is discovered too late to make a permanent hire for the next season, and new coach agrees to serve as interim for one more year. Just as successful, the interim coach again expects to get hired permanently, only to get passed up for a candidate who has more experience outside the retired coach's tree.

The candidate who gets hired runs the program into the ground, creating an environment so toxic that the school has to rehire the retired coach for a season just to keep the program from entirely collapsing. The former interim coach goes on to success at another program in his alma mater's conference.

Imagine the riots that would occur if that happened at Iowa.

(The twist is that it actually did happen at Iowa, just to the marching band in the mid-90s rather than the football program, more or less exactly as described.)

(I love the UI, but that place has been run by bureaucratic dipshits for a long, long, looooooong time.)

@fossilhawk has been given a 7 day reply ban for sharing that story about the marching band in this thread and should consider himself fortunate it is not longer.

I was actually angry on reading this sentence and feel as though my time was stolen.

Woodley definitely got screwed. Marylin could have hired him, but had a severe personal dislike. She just about ran the whole school into the ground.

Fuck you

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

The revenue between football and marching band is pretty much equal.

 

[hawkeyealum]

That’s one of the most embarrassing things ever posted.

 

[Geese]

I just want someone that isn't retarded to run the offense. Not a big ask.

Ok, who the fück is Marilyn?

 

[Harlan]

Fuck you

Well said

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Some guy on Rivals said Chryst turned down the job.

Step right up, Joe.

 

[Pipiyopee]

Well fuck. I’m almost as mad about that as I am the handling of the mid-90s marching band leadership transition.

 

[snips]

this is sort of what i am afraid of

 

[Harlan]

Ok, who the fück is Marilyn?

We can swear here without disguising it, you stupid son of a bitch. See?

I will bow that umlaut shit all fucking day

Awesome. Kirk’s oatmeal just got another squirt of vanilla.

 

[CUIHAWK]

Those marching band leaders HATED each other!

 

[Harlan]

Chryst read that marching band story and turned down the job.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Noise, I’m not asking you. Don’t waste my time

 

[Verbal]

We all have three months to live.

 

[Gushawk]

If Chryst turned it down, I can only assume Kirk refused to provide the necessary assurances re autonomy.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I feel a bit better about the delay right now. There are some extenuating circumstances going on.

 

[Pipiyopee]

That’s the second most shocking twist I’ve read today
