New OC

[Creed]

Leave it to Kirk to hire a guy who has called plays for a total of one season in the last twelve.

 

[MikeyJoe]

That would be very disappointing.

 

[The Full Monte]

Philbin is the type of hire that is on the razor’s edge of confirming these decisions need to be forcibly taken from Kirk’s hands.

A P2 program making this kind of hire in 2023 is absolutely embarrassing

 

[nolookpass]

I think hiring this 60 something year old
Dude will be a recruiting boost for the type of skill position athletes Iowa will want to recruit

“If it ain’t broke why fix it?” - KF

 

[gable_guy]

This could be bargaining - but I wouldn’t be that bothered by it.

If it were somebody outside of KF tree with that much NFL experience - we would take it.

Plus, maybe he can help with OL

Terrible haiku

Terrible haiku

Sixty-year-old hire,
Recruiting boost for Iowa,
Skilled athletes sought here.

That works only if you say hire like @brantshawks

My God, the hyperbole.

 

[thrawn]

I don’t think Philbin would be a terrible hire, but you can’t convince me he’s the most qualified/talented available option, just the easiest.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

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

Jesus.

If it was a guy eligible for social security with no history of coaching QBs, fired from last four jobs and hasn’t recruited since the Clinton administration I think most would have a problem with it.

It might work out fine, but it’s not above serious questioning.

 

[6deuce]

Can Kirk just GTFO already?

You’re like Shawnee, only spazzier.

 

[MikeyJoe]

Yeah, that's what I meant by disappointing. He probably would be competent, but there's no way he's the best option they actually have. He's 62 years old and on a distinct downward career trajectory at this point.

If it isn't laziness, it's stubbornness.

 

[Revolver]

Don’t be stunned if Iowa is forced to re-sign Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz as punishment for Kamala’s song.

 

[Hawkstrat]

My thoughts on the hire will be greatly impacted by a staff shuffling. If it's just replacing Brian, I'm disappointed.

If they make Philbin OC/OL, can Barnett and hire a QB coach not named Budmayr, I'm reasonably happy.

 

[shoot-the-three]

Philbin OC/OL
Budmayr QB
Hodge WR
Little Stevie Ferentz TE

 

[Hawkstrat]

Kakert says nobody has been offered the job.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Congrats @Nobody

 

[TJones3312]

Congrats @Nobody

Hope he knows a qb coach

I’ve always been under the impression that @Nobody is a woman.

Oops

I’ve always been under the impression that @Nobody is a woman.

Correct, nobody here is a woman.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Time will tell

Boner killer if true.

 

[Nobody]

Congrats @Nobody

This motherfucker

 

[Dr. Zaius]

PHarty sucks. He doesn’t know shit

 

[HerkyHopeful]

If someone is disappointed in Philbin's resume lately thats perfectly fine, but the age thing is stupid. Andy Ludwig was mentioned as a great option here and is 59

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Who knows for sure, but I am expecting a pretty big shakeup on the offensive coaching staff.

Bielema?

Jerry Kill?

Like Copeland and Barnett being let go?

[L. Wade Childress]

More than likely Copeland. Supposedly people truly think Barnett is good and polasek was the root of many of our issues.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Pat Harty is the absolute fucking king of personal attacks on Twitter.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

This motherfucker

Pat Harty is the absolute fucking king of personal attacks on Twitter.

He seems pretty unhinged in that whole thread. He would get ran over like a freight train on Halo.

 

[SuperHans]

Joe Philbin hasn't called plays since 1996, at Northeastern University

Aaron Rodgers is no Jim Murphy.

www.nbcsports.com

@tcondon here’s something to fill up some air time

 

[nolookpass]

perfect. Makes him a great fit for Kirk's offense that is well known for game time adjustments and creative schemes.

 

[SuperHans]

Other than his time at Northeastern, Philbin last called plays for the final 4 games of 2018 as the interim HC after McCarthy was canned. His last game calling plays the team put up a goose egg versus Detroit with Deshone Kizer getting the start for the Pack.

Of course, Rodgers was also well known to change McCarthy’s plays. I would assume this continued if not increased with Philbin.

[Hawkstrat]

NIL guy claims Kirk was in Ohio yesterday attending a funeral. Philbin could end up the OC, but this seems like Harty just guessing.

 

[brantshawks]

Harty looks, and likely smells, like he gets his infro from bathroom stall walls.

 

[IowaWigman]

Harty looks, and likely smells, like he gets his infro from bathroom stall walls.

As the great Greg Giraldo once said, he looks like he smells like pee.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Why would Philbin even be allowed to be a candidate at this point?

Why don’t we start posting tweets by random anonymous users? Because that’s essentially the same as going to Wikipedia at this point.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Mainly because we can't post tweets any more
