New OC

[L. Wade Childress]

they probably want to go to the game to make one final push for Grubb

 

[ClintWalker]

This is like when you were a kid hoping for that expensive HO train set for Christmas, but deep down you knew you were probably getting Chinese Checkers and jeans with the reinforced knees.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Ryan Grubb is my USS Flagg

 

[Hawkstrat]

Dochterman said Iowa did contact Grubb and Ludwig, but they said no. Apologies if I'm Gussing.

 

[Stu Beagle]

More important than the hire is hoping Kirk hands over full control and just moves into the CEO role

 

[The Full Monte]

It's shockingly stupid, but the NIL guy (who doesn't seem to be a dipshit) apparently asserts it as fact.

For context, Brad does Kirk’s bidding. If Kirk says “sorry, rule says it’s 10 days”….Brad isn’t pushing back one single bit on that

Did someone mention the “Ho Train”?

In fairness, this is a very emotional time, moving on from Brian. Give Kirk his space.

 

[HiG 2.0]

I’m losing a lot of sleep over this.

 

[Hawkmi]

It's only right to give him as much time and space as possible during such an emotional situation in a professional work environment.

 

[KitKatApples]

Kirk is an idiot if he hasn't decided yet.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

It's the same school that waited months to officially start an AD search, still ongoing, even though the presumed hire has been acting in the role since August. A sense of urgency is not a thing at the University of Iowa.

 

[douglasbader]

Another great point, it's beyond stupid that they haven't named Beth the AD.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Like the OC search, there's probably a mystery AD candidate

 

[AZmessDAWG]

The university wears the “moves slow” thing like a badge of honor. It’s fucking stupid.

 

[snips]

there's probably a mystery AD candidate

bowlsby?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Another great point, it's beyond stupid that they haven't named Beth the AD.

some of the same people who hate the Ferentz family don’t think Beth is necessarily the best choice either

 

[KitKatApples]

Is that because they just dislike everything?

“settling” is the term I heard. Take it for what it’s worth.

 

[JD720]

“settling” is the term I heard. Take it for what it’s worth.

I get that. I like what she's done so far and would be fine with her staying on full time, but the Iowa AD job is a big one. They shouldn't just hand it to someone aleady in the building without a proper search.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I was told the following things this morning.

Kirk met with Chip Kelly last week. No idea what that would be about unless chatting about Frost??

Buttmuncher and Copeland likely out

Cade asked for more money and was told to fuck off

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Cade asked for more money

Unless Budmayr is getting offers, that seems unlikely.

Kakert pointed out that Bobby Engram was let go as the Commander's WR coach. He was Chryst's final OC at Wisconsin.

 

[Debit One]

Cade asked for more money

If this is true, that's one ballsy kid.

 

[Brownzy]

I'm likely completely wrong here and Kirk is just being slow and dumb with this, but....

I can't help but feel the only thing that makes sense on why someone hasn't been hired is that they're still actively coaching somewhere. That really makes me want to hope its Grubb, as unlikely as that is. Maybe the guys a masochist and wants to be the hero to turn the Iowa offense around, ultimately leading to him becoming HC once Kirk retires and he would have a likely safe HC gig for as long as he wants.

Or its just Chryst and Kirk is being slow and dumb.

If you have the Halo Elite! membership, all of these were discussed in PM secret chat last week. Pay your membership dues, Alum!

 

[Orestes]

If this is true, that's one ballsy kid.

If true, McNamara has to think he's got some kind of leverage given Bacon's performance and is clearly not keeping his broken body in mind.

 

[Judge Kemp]

If this is true, that's one ballsy kid.

Specifically for QBs, we use the term moxie.

 

[kmurp]

Looks like the SDSU guy is going to Northwestern.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Chip Kelly was not discussing Frost. Kelly has interest in the job.

who is buttmuncher in this case?

 

[SteadyEddy]

I like that McNamara asked for more money. Probably makes it a bit easier for Kirk to recruit over him.

 

[BuffettHawk]

If true, McNamara has to think he's got some kind of leverage given Bacon's performance and is clearly not keeping his broken body in mind.

I'm curious as to McNamara's market value right now if he were to leave for not receiving the pay bump.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

All of those rumors seem so out of pocket, I find them incredibly hard to believe.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

You don't believe that not only would Chip Kelly want to come to Iowa as OC, but that Kirk would want Chip Kelly to run an offense at Iowa?

 

[hawkeyealum]

Chip Kelly was not discussing Frost. Kelly has interest in the job.

Why?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

You don't believe that not only would Chip Kelly want to come to Iowa as OC, but that Kirk would want Chip Kelly to run an offense at Iowa?

 

[BillyBob]

im hearing Andy Reid is interested in becoming the qb coach

 

[hawkeyealum]

I can see Kirk talking to him about Frost. I can’t imagine any scenario where Kelly wants to move to an OC job in Iowa

 

[CleteyColgate]

I can see Kirk talking to him about Frost. I can’t imagine any scenario where Kelly wants to move to an OC job in Iowa

Associate Head Coach/OC/Quarterback Coach

 

[hoosh]

I’m pretty sure @L. Wade Childress was joking

 

[KitKatApples]

Chip Kelly was not discussing Frost. Kelly has interest in the job.

Stop

 

[KitKatApples]

I’m pretty sure @L. Wade Childress was joking

He's givin us the business

 

[Uli Kunkel]

The most likely explanation for the delay is the simplest one; nobody wants the job

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Alright, Stop.

Fify

 

[6deuce]

Nobody that Kirk wants.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

No lol

 

[Dr_Hawk]

Chip Kelly was not discussing Frost. Kelly has interest in the job.

Was this with some sort of caveat of the potential to become sort of a head coach in waiting? I could see a scenario that Chip would want to bolt UCLA due to the current lack of support from their fanbase athletic department, but only with some security that he would be a HC soon.

With that being said, it seems very unlike something the Ferentz regime would be willing to do.

If true, McNamara has to think he's got some kind of leverage given Bacon's performance and is clearly not keeping his broken body in mind.

This feels like something somebody said in a Casey’s while getting coffee and it follows a player around for the rest of his career.

But if true, Cade can GFH.
