From Waterloo. What happens when Barta tells Kirk to fire Brian? Does Kirk quit?
Klieman to Iowa?
- Thread starter cycloneML
- Start date
With what's coming to the B1G with the chance of even finishing in the top 5 being dimished, it would be hard to want to go there.
It's no going to happen. Kirk runs the show, not Barta
Kirk has over $40 mil left. Dude went to court over landscaping costs. He isn't giving up that gravy train, LOL.
Brian works for Barta. He could fire Brian himself. He won't, because he's Kirk's *****.
Kirk will likely do some shuffling to appease the fans but nothing will really change. Brian will get transitioned to a run game coordinator or co-offensive coordinator. The bigger issue is that it is still Kirk's offense so whomever is calling the plays, it will be the same thing. Criticizing Brian and the offense will just make Kirk dig in his heels even more.
Waiting for Surly to start arguing with the Iowa fans on here
Klieman works for his best friend and is in his mid-50s. He's retiring at K-State.
Iowa just needs to find another strength and conditioning coach with proper knowledge of pharmaceuticals and they'll be back to their old self. Hopefully one that's not a racist POS, but that's not a deal breaker for them either way. No need to change anything else.
(inserts hopeful emoji)Kirk to AD. Brian to HC. Book it.
The money is going to be so much better than what K-State could pay to keep him happy. He could come home, and get paid. Seems like a no brainer to me. FWIW, Klieman doesn't really scare me. Sure, KSU has been pretty good this year, but if they were say, 3-3 instead of 5-1, his seat would probably be getting a little warm.

I could have sworn I saw him in the Charlotte airport the Thursday before the Baylor game wearing a Texans shirt but couldn't find anything online linking him to them.
As a Cyclone fan, I want Brian there for a long, long, long time.
Klieman is very close to K-State's athletics director, Gene Taylor, who promoted him to head coach at NDSU and then brought him to K-State. I can't see him leaving Taylor - they are like brothers. And money has never been a problem in Manhattan.
