In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC

[CySmurf]

Regis?

He's dead...which means he's a possible option.

 

[Gonzo]

It's going to be Budmayr. No one good from outside the program wants the job.

Interesting that Paul Chryst said no thanks for the OC job. I thought that was a slam dunk. Gonna stay as an analyst at UT

What's going to be more hilarious is if he takes the San Jose State job

 

[CloneLawman]

Is Chris Klenakis available?

Maybe a tag team of Klenakis and Mangino?

wasn't it Messingham that said our players needed to make more Sports Center highlight plays?

 

[7Got6]

Hahaha no way.

Yeah that’s why I said I’ll believe it when I see it.

Oh, now there's an Unholy Trinity: Mangino, Messingham & Klenakis. Sounds like a law firm that will get you "the most money in the least time".

Warmer weather, lower stress...I could see it if he's burned out on coaching. Doesn't seem like many coaches do though

 

[ClonerJams]

These dudes are just different than me. Chryst, Patterson, Kill, ect. I'd take my millions and enjoy the easy life.

 

[cycloner29]

So they promote Seth Wallace to Assistant head coach and give Parker a raise to 1.9 mil a year….. but crickets yet on an OC.

I’d bet my mortgage it got down to final details, and Kirk hit him with a “by the way, you can have the title OC, but we’re running my offense”

Wondered about that. Once you’ve been the boss….

 

[VTXCyRyD]

Couldn't Kirk just rehire Brian as a contractor? Technically he wouldn't work for the University.

 

[kingcy]

Why doesn’t Iowa just promote the QB coach or WR coach to the OC?

Brian was the QB coach.

 

[kingcy]

Somebody who wants an easy job near retirement. When they can signal in plays by holding up fingers on one hand, it's not tough calling plays.

Kirk tells the media his offense is hard to learn.

 

[kingcy]

He is also right at a .600% winning percentage, the minimum to get into the college football HOF, I am one that thinks the Freerents believes he can stick around long enough to catch Hayes and end up with a .600% career winning percentage.

Why does he belong in the HOF?

 

[carvers4math]

Why does he belong in the HOF?

Well he has solved his racism twice already

 

[Cmonwhatarewedoinghereman]

Why does he belong in the HOF?

You know I wondered the same thing so I went down the rabbit hole. First off there are A LOT of coaches in the college HOF at all ncaa division levels. These were the ones in there of modern coaches (last 40 years) that have similar resumes to KF (lot of wins, few conf titles, no natty, few really good years but a lot of mediocre too). In other words, inclusion by just being around for a long time.

Ault (Nevada), Beamer, Belotti (Oregon), Earl Bruce, Cooper (OSU), DeBerry (Air Force), Donahue (UCLA), Hayden Fry, Paul Johnson(Navy, Ga Tech), Nehlen (WVU), Pinkel (Mizzou), Slocum (A&M), Snyder, Welsh(UVA).
