If Chryst gets the job there will be plenty of “don’t trust KF to stay out of his way” posts

Well, as long as he stays out of his way...

I like to preemptively complain about complainers like @The Dad too.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Hopefully he's still available after the bowl game when Kurt starts looking to fill the position.

I’d be over the moon with a Chryst hire but reserve the right to disavow this post if/when it turns into Halo Gold at a later date.

My roommate from grad school is a Wisconsin alum and tells me Chryst is washed up and couldn’t adapt to the evolving game. Prove him wrong, Hawks!

Sounds like our guy!

 

[KitKatApples]

He was so washed up they hired a new guy who promptly won as many games as they did the year before

 

[Alan Lomax]

Does Kirk only get in the way on offense, or does he do it to defense and special teams too?

Grad school. Oh, nice. I was afraid it was a guy getting his Associate's Degree.

My theory is that Kirk has hard and fast ideas about both that his coordinators have to operate within. It’s just that rule changes and the evolution of the game have made his offensive philosophy severely outdated

KF takes heat for the offense and deservingly so. But he probably deserves more credit for having great to elite defenses for virtually his entire career at Iowa.

They actually adjusted the run game quite a bit this year, but the pass game just never worked.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

It’s entirely a personnel issue.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

It’s entirely a personnel issue.

I think it is more than that.

 

[Pipiyopee]

I’d love to hear Charlie Jones opinion on that

 

[hawkeyealum]

It’s entirely a personnel issue.

Yeah. The OC is moron

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Would have to do some serious digging, but in articles at the time of his hire, he was saying he embraced the Fry model where he wanted to hire a DC to entirely run that independently where he felt he had more expertise on the offensive side.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

he felt he had more expertise on the offensive side.

 

[ChipHilton]

Do we think that an offense fearturing Brad Banks, Fred Russell, Jermelle Lewis, Dallas Clark, Mo Brown, CJ Jones, Ed Hinkel, Robert Gallery, Bruce Nelson, Eric Steinbach, Andy Lightfoot and Dave Porter with Bridawg calling plays would struggle in today's game?

Probably. They’re getting kinda old.

They probably wouldn’t exist together, which is just as much of the problem as anything.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Bridawg is in year 7 and the players he has recruited and developed are DFL.

Also the 2019 team had a lot of good players on offense and they were almost good.

Douche for life?

 

[KitKatApples]

It’s been a very rascally day on Halo

 

[Harlan]

Don’t say it three times.

“Still going to be KFs system!!!” from people who can’t explain what that means.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I’d like to hear more about the hard and fast parameters he has or where the offensive philosophy is severely outdated.

I'm not sure audio recordings are yet a feature here at Hawkeyelounge.com

 

[BuffettHawk]

Chryst wants the job badly.

Grubb will get the job.

Watching the PAC12 championship tonight, and you just know Grubb is looking forward to the transition from Washington to Iowa.

 

[Gushawk]

Grubb also is paid $2M per, right now. We gonna bring him in at $2.5-3 and pay Phil $500k more than that?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I hope Kirk does the right thing and takes his $7mm salary and immediately donates it the Swarm to buy good players.

 

[Herky823]

if he's paid two, is he really coming to Iowa for 500k more? that's not that much more money at that scale, and there is significant risk associated with running the iowa offense.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Iowa is a great job and he will be the leading candidate when it’s open.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Iowa is a great job and he will be the leading candidate when it’s open.

Especially if you end up ending it all at 1:00 pm today

 

[Gushawk]

which job?

 

[KitKatApples]

Hand or blow?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

which job?

the head hawk

 

[Gushawk]

will depend on timing, I suppose

if he’s already HC at UCLA or Washington that might be tough

 

[Mr. Hawk]

I think he’d have to be offered an inside track to HC to get him. Coming to work for Kirk has its risks, in part because KF could hang it up at any time, and surely will in 2-4. A new HC may not keep him on and his current boss is much younger.

 

[HSP_Hawk]

Yeah. 25% raises at that level are bullshit. Why bother asking?

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Yeah. 25% raises at that level are bullshit. Why bother asking?

I only ask for 69% raises.

 

[Herky823]

Yeah. 25% raises at that level are bullshit. Why bother asking?

This is silly. 25% means a lot less the higher you get. That said, it’s obviously still a significant amount of money. But the risk I’m talking about is that he seems to be on a track to becoming a head coach fairly soon. There is risk in coming to Iowa. It could derail those plans if things don’t go well

 

[Debit One]

Yeah. 25% raises at that level are bullshit. Why bother asking?

That’s not what he said.

The point is that if you’re making $2M per year, another $500k likely doesn’t change your lifestyle.

 

[sergeanthulka]

Herky is right. There is no scenario where grubb comes to ic as OC.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Herky is right. There is no scenario where grubb comes to ic as OC.

Iowa hosts Washington next season.

 

[Herky823]

Herky is right. There is no scenario where grubb comes to ic as OC.

Maybe $3MM gets him here but is Iowa really paying his buyout, paying him 3 and then more than doubling Phils pay? Just don't see it.
