Other than looking for a run/pass balance, how has Kirk held back his OCs?

Clearly he’s not going to hire a June Jones or a Mike Leach type of guy but that still leaves a shitload of available candidates.

247 reporters and posters making strong hints that there is more than one former Big Ten HC interviewing for the job. Not sure how I feel about it, but they are definitely hinting at it being Frost.

This is true, and it is Frost.

I thought Kirk wasn’t a big fan of Frost?

I never got the feeling that KF was a fan of Scott Frost

I have zero inside info, but based on the leaks I've seen, this is my current bold prediction.

60% Youngish coach inside a Shanahan inspired NFL offense (SF, LA, GB, etc). Klint Kubiak is the obvious name here, but he's definitely kicking the tires on more than one guy in this category.
30% Chryst
3% Frost
7% Other

I might be completely wrong, but I've seen enough people suggest that Kirk is seriously pursuing the first option, that it makes me believe that's his preference. I think if it doesn't happen, it means he was turned down by the guys he wanted.

Frosts run game usually gave Iowa fits. Seeing as though Iowa/Kirk have accepted that the cut block rule don’t really allow for them to run the outside zone the way they would like anymore, a move like this actually makes some sense. Especially if they allow him to incorporate some RPOs which would be perfect for the players Iowa can actually get at receiver.

From my brother, who almost certainly got his information from boards I don't follow or Leistikow) when I mentioned Frost and Chryst:

Frost was WR coach for Chip Kelly’s Oregon teams and OC for the title game team. He also did a really good job at UCF. He failed as HC because he’s apparently an immature jackass, but he’s a capable offensive coach.

Eickholt literally posted a picture of Frosty the snowman. I doubt he's making it up.
Eickholt is retarded then.

Scott Frost, both professionally and personally, violate everything I’ve come to know about Kirk ferentz.

I don’t know, he’s young and likes a pop star and some rap music. Hard to trust him. I’ll defer to guys like Mike Hlas.
Eickholt might end up being wrong about this but at least he has the balls to post something relevant when there is some smoke.

Someone is either trolling eickholt hard or they’re doing the Departed thing where they feed disinformation into the communication loop in order to find the rat.
LOL. When has he been wrong on a scoop? Do you have an example? Or will you let cooler heads prevail?

I don’t always agree with the sarge but this would be stunning if it was happening on a serious level.

I’m not a fan of Eicholt, and people will point to the Traquan Holden Chrystal ball as an example of him being wrong but the NIL guy said in an interview a month or so ago that Holden was ready to commit to Iowa and Iowa backed off.

And even if Iowa doesn’t end up hiring Frost, I’d rather have a person running a website at least comment on what they’ve heard rather than what Kakert is currently doing by saying ‘they are having conversations and we’ll likely know after the bowl game’

Edit to add after Kakert makes a comment like that his posters will say ‘Thanks for everything you do Tom’

Brad literally said he was right in an interview. Anyone who “points to that,” is fucking dumb.
