New OC

[SuperHans]

Tyler Barnes new OC

 

[kenos]

Can we all just agree to STFU with the “Go-Go” thing already?

yeah. the last thing iowa football needs is a little trouble funk.

 

[SuperHans]

 

[The Dad]

“Uptempo” isn’t descriptive enough.

 

[kenos]

 

[AZmessDAWG]

That’s a massive Fuck you to fans.

 

[Kamala]

This all gives me a sad

 

[6deuce]

Yes. Frodo is a yuge trump supporter. Loves the guy.

 

[douglasbader]

Leistikow now thinks this drags on into February. LOL.

 

[The Dad]

On Feb 17th they’ll announce the hiring of Buttdart for a salary of $799k.

Nick Saban retired less than 6 days ago. In that time, Alabama / Washington / Arizona have all lost and hired new head coaches along with nearly their entire staffs.

It's been 80 days since Kirk’s son, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz was told he wouldn't be renewed and 15+ days since Iowa's bowl game. In that time Kirk hasn't been able to hire a OC and, according to the NIL guy, is still out there interviewing and hasn't come close to offering someone.

Lol.

Alabama lost one of their most valuable defensive coaches to Georgia.
That coach then interviewed with the new Alabama staff.

Kirk mailed Joe Philbin a letter last week saying they should talk about Joe coming back to Iowa in a covered wagon.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I don’t think that happened but who knows?!?!?!

 

[Kerky]

It's all part of the plan for us to be relieved when Philbin gets the job instead of Budmayr. Bar keeps getting lowered. What a shit show, once again.

 

[douglasbader]

I don’t think that happened but who knows?!?!?!

Well, now we know it happened.

 

[The Full Monte]

Leistekow said this morning he's learned in the past 24 hours it won't be Philbin.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

Iowa seems like the team to finally hire a black OC and then not actually announce it on MLK day.

Given a major party held its caucuses on MLK Day, I'm not sure most of the state is aware of the holiday.

Which is of course the point the Kirk ballwashers missed when attempting to defend the speed of Iowa’s process vs how quickly Alabama moved after Saban’s announcement.

I’ve worked with professional PR firms that aren’t as skilled at deflecting and putting a positive spin on situations as well as a decent chunk of the Iowa fanbase

 

[The Full Monte]

Given our aging head coach & current predicament at the QB position, this is simply going to be a very difficult job to fill.

Bulllll….shit….

 

[WestMifflin]

If KF tries to do that, Beth should fire the old man on the spot. Period. The Bud man already should have been fired, along with Barnett, that brilliant O-line coach.

Until we know otherwise, I'm still hoping for the guy from UNLV. Make him the highest paid OC in the country. The money is there. That hire would shock the college football world and make Iowa an immediate contender for the Big Ten title and CFP. Anything less, and KF needs to go. Period.

He'd most likely be a good, but making him the highest paid OC in the country would be dumb. That'd be over $2 million for a guy who had 1 year as an OC in the Mountain West. Fuck. This is getting stupid.

I was literally afraid to take a shit yesterday, given the stakes.

 

[Harlan]

With Kirk near retirement and Iowa’s tradition of long tenured head coaches, you’d think it would be an attractive OC job where you’d have a good chance to be the front runner for the next HC. Kirk is gonna pwn everyone here one way or another.

 

[The Dad]

All you have to do is get Iowa into the top 60 offensively and we’ll be begging to name the fucking stadium after you.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

The P-C's Leistokow said point blank this morning that it "won't be Philbin or UNLV offensive coordinator Brennan Marion." If that's correct, that's good and bad news. Iowa doesn't need a retread like Philbin, but Marion and his innovative, run-based "Go-Go" offense would be a perfect fit with Iowa's philosophy and personnel, so if KF doesn't get Marion, he'll have made another huge mistake.

Leistikow goes on to say he thinks KF will now go for someone from the NFL since Chryst was offered the job and turned it down. Maybe there's someone out there in those ranks who will work out, but Marion would be a fantastic choice, so passing on him is a mistake, no matter what.

This guy sucks

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Either way, the update from Brad NIL guy sucks and is pretty telling today. He obviously got an update from Iowa/Kirk and is out there trying to do damage control for them. He's selling the fact that not only is a OC hire not imminent, but Kirk is trudging around conducting interviews and no offers have been made.

That's not good.

Baghdad Brad. (Quasi stolen from Gus).

 

[Kamala]

Then just suspend the search and look for a new head coach instead

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Chryst wants the job badly.

 

[BuffettHawk]

That may have been RATT, but then he found out the salary limitations and changed his mind.

 

[JD720]

That may have been RATT, but then he found out the salary limitations and changed his mind.

That or wanted more autonomy over the offense than Kirk was willing to cede.

 

[SteadyEddy]

LWade doesn't know shit, but it's possible Chryst was interested until he found out Kirk was going to drag his offense averse old man ball sack across his scheme and decision making.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Or maybe he found out his office wouldn’t have a standup desk.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

It’s possible.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

That may have been RATT, but then he found out the salary limitations and changed his mind.

not salary issues- Kirk was just looking for a multi-year commitment.

It’s a RATT no matter what, because that’s how RATTs work.

Imagine moving your family from the PNW to fucking Alabama

Let’s go with Butfycker.

the guy did spend a long time in South Dakota

 

[Mountain Hawk]

Or maybe he found out his office wouldn’t have a standup desk.

Or that it would have a chair, but it flushed.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

South Dakota, while rural, is very nice.

I’m LMFAO thinking about how some folks here got called “hysterical” for suggesting this was going to be handled “in the most Iowa way imaginable.”

 

[WizardHawk]

Dad wants to find a cheap OC AND one that also won't make BF look incompetent at any point. That's a tough find and probably will take until at least mid-Feb

Cry about it. Maybe even hysterically.

LOL. The ballwashers are getting ANNNGGRRRRYYYYY!!!!

Birmingham area > Des Moines area.

The sad thing is that Brian reached such levels of ineptitude that you could probably get away with giving some D2 coach $500k and still see a decent amount of improvement.

 

[The Dad]

I would not be sad about a decent amount of improvement regardless of how it comes about.

 

[KitKatApples]

Birmingham area > Des Moines area.

Birmingham is the Detroit of the south

 

[SteadyEddy]

This is sort of my thought as well. It literally couldn't get any worse. A fairly no-name OC from FCS or the MAC who's proven the ability to run a quality offense could still come in and improve upon what currently exists...even if their name isn't inspiring.
