That is surprising, he absolutely is what epitomizes a hawkeye fan.The ToE fans I know absolutely hate Bielema.

Stoops has stated over and over he is done with college ball. Takes too much time to be great at it and does not like free agency and the uncontrolled NIL.Never know but I would think Stoops would go to a bigger brand where he can have a legit shot at a national title.
He might do well at Iowa but not well enough to fit his ego.
Also age...he's 61 so there's no longevity.
The NIL and Free Agency are what are going to drive KF out. He absolutely hates it and does not want to deal with it. This all came from someone with intimate knowledge of Iowa football.Stoops has stated over and over he is done with college ball.

My daughter also wants unicorn for Christmas....Is trending on twitter.
Nebraska really wants him after their questionable loss to Northwestern.
I know he won't miss that part at all. I don't think he will leave any earlier because of it, but he sure won't miss it and I don't think he is very fond of the USC and UCLA thing.The NIL and Free Agency are what are going to drive KF out.

Campbell wouldn’t go to NebraskaI mean it makes perfect sense (from a Nebraska POV). A guy whose team maximizes ability versus under performs and generally doesn't consistently shoot itself in the foot almost to comical levels.
And yeah, the money from the tv deal helps etc and etc... but IDK. I'm not going to worry about anything till it or if it happens.
The TV deal, history and fan support are positives but their boosters and AD would be huge negatives and are why he’d never take the job.I probably would agree with you but there are several reasons - playing devils advocate - that it could make sense.
Would I bet on it? Nope. I would be surprised if he left. But there are reasons I could understand once I got over my initial surprise
Meddlesome AD and delusional fan base makes it a non starter for Campbell.Campbell wouldn’t go to Nebraska
It will be interesting to see how long he sticks it out. What would it take for him to be done? Either an improbably failure, or another improbable 10-2 type of successful season with Big 10 Championship game appearance and I'd bet he retires. 7-5, 8-4 type season will probably keep him satisfied enough to stick around.The NIL and Free Agency are what are going to drive KF out.

Needs to get coaching record to .600 to have a shot at the HOF. That matters to Kirk.It will be interesting to see how long he sticks it out. What would it take for him to be done?

If anyone has remotely been paying attention, you would know this.Campbell wouldn’t go to Nebraska
What about the Kirk Freerent coaching tree?Unless Bob Stoops would go back there and coach, there's not a whole lot of coaches from Hayden Fry's coaching tree around that I think would take the job.
So they might be entering uncharted territory after he retires for the first time since the 70s.
Does KF have much of a coaching tree?What about the Kirk Freerent coaching tree?
Jay Norvell is a former Hawk player from 80's and is in his first year at CSU after having some success at Nevada. He's almost 60, so Iowa may go younger- hoping to get their next 20 year coach.
