Fresno State vs Kansas















A lot of Iowa connections indeed. Kurt's other son was a walk on receiver at Nebbie for a couple years.

BF has certainly had to restart his coaching career near the bottom rung of the ladder. He is going to have to grind to climb back up again. Hopefully, he banked some money from his time as the most overpaid OC in the country.

It's really a pretty incredible fall given that there were no legal, moral or NCAA issues involved.

Before his 30th birthday, he was coaching arguably the greatest tight end tandem in NFL history, for perhaps the greatest football coach in history, in the Super Bowl. And before long, was the coordinator for a top 25 and highly respected Big Ten program.

Just a free fall from going essentially from those positions back to coaching tight ends at a pretty crappy non-P5 program.

I'd think a typical step down would be to position coach (even an assistant position coach?) for a major program or NFL team. Or remaining a coordinator at a non power conference D1 school. Or if he felt like it was time for a different path, trying to be head coach at a D2 or D3 school, maybe even a juco or NAIA. And that'd be for a typical coordinator looking for a job - I'd argue Brian is way more connected than your average coordinator.

I hope he grinds away and rediscovers some joy in coaching, and I wish the guy no ill will. But do you think he must have interviewed really poorly? I get nobody being interested in him as a coordinator, but I would have thought he'd have found a spot as TE or OL coach at a more attractive program than Fresno State...
