Our offensive line has sucked I know, but another huge part of that is obviously zero passing threat. There's no world where the run game is 90% as effective as wisconsin unless there is *some* risk to the defense for putting 32 guys in the box.
Just have a few things to clean up.

I mean, Philbin would be the most Ferentzian hire ever. So of course it will be him.
He might as well fire the OL coach and just bring back Philbin and KOK and have a full on reunion.

Do I challenge myself and bring in a fresh perspective, or do I hire this old retread yes-man?

We're very excited to welcome Coach Philbin back to our program. We think he's going to be a great fit with what we do here.

The Hawkeye booster bigwig is probably skiing in the SLC area and has an idea of who it is.

All this scurrying around when there won’t be any meaningful news until January is kinda funny.

Not to white knight for kakert or anything, but sometimes there’s just nothing meaningful to report.

Once upon a Kinnick dreary
Our last place offense weak and weary
Over stunning lack and loss of volume of
——-touchdowns scored
While I nodded, frustration raging , suddenly there came a clanging,
As of Beth’s balls gently clanging, clanging at the head coach’s door
“Tis the new AD” Kirk muttered “clanging at my office door”
Nepotism’s over forevermore

A Philbin/Budamyr coordinated passing game is quite uninspiring.

Sadly, acceptance of “Coach Bud”’s ascension to QB coach probably was a requirement for any viable candidate, and were likely to get it under both Philbin or Chryst.

He's been fired or shoved down the line about a dozen times since he left Iowa. It's a shit hire if/when it happens. Chryst is the far superior hire.
He’s been at 5 places since Iowa

don’t they need someone else to leave to make him QB coach?

I only said Chryst and Philbin bc those were 2/3 of the ones mentioned in Kakerts article about the search taking shape. The NIL guy basically shot down Ludwig.

Now, he did also mention there is a decent amount of interest in the position and his bet was on someone no one has mentioned yet.

Living and dying by every rumor is pretty pointless. The good news is they appear to be doing a real search, the bad news is they aren't moving as quickly as fans, and the open transfer portal, would suggest they should.

Are they doing a real search? Not convinced
