Just my opinion but I don't think Kirk would make an announcement until after the bowl game which in reality isn't too far away. The only way I could see sooner is if he is retiring for sure and the "secret" candidate they want isn't available anymore. Once a couple high profile positions start to get filled and the domino effect starts you need to announce that the job is available to try and get some candidates. Of course all of this won't matter if the candidate is in house.

I think that would be too late this day in age. It's an arm's race out there. This ain't 1995 anymore.

It all depends on who this candidate is and if they accept early. If they feel the candidate is wrapped up then there is no hurry but as I mentioned if they feel there is a gap and the other positions start to fill then they have to announce it.

Kirk won't want the attention before the bowl game if he can avoid it. The question is if it can be avoided. If Woods is the guy then nothing needs to happen. If Deboer, Dabo, etc are in play then this Saturday or possibly Friday night we need to see an announcement but not sure if he would do it at an away game facility. If Iowa is in play for a high profile guy it may take a little time for the musical chairs game to sort itself out so yes they need to get a jump on it.

Whatever happens (and remember I've made zero claims as to what will happen for sure)...what I'd really love to see is KF turn into Don Nelson 2.0 after he retires.

Grow the hair out, necklace, move to Hawaii, and take up weed farming/smoking with Willie and Woody. He's certainly earned it.

If this really is happening and it has been decided on both sides, then I would expect an announcement after the Nebraska game. Give the bowl game some juice for sure. I actually would have liked the announcement already to give the Nebbie game some additional juice, but I understand why KF would not want all that hoopla on a short week.

It could just be the emotions that his unit kicked the game winner and not letting Lester down. Ironically, it was Lester's unit that seemed to put that game at risk.

Either way it seems like strange leap to make. Oh look, Levar is emotional after a big win so that must mean he's the next Head Coach.

Huh?

I think when people have takes that don't make sense to you it really upsets you. It's water cooler talk, man.

You think there's no way on earth KF is gone, my coworker thinks it's Woods next, other people think he's going to retire, some people think it'll be Fitz or DeBoer or some no-namer next, another person thinks we'll hear about it after nebraska, other's think we won't find out till spring....it just seems like you're mad about any other take other than KF is going to have a few more years. Internet sports boards are made for hot takes. If there were no hot takes no one would come to this one or any other.

99% of us (which includes me) are going to find out we were wrong in the coming weeks/months. It's just people throwing the scenarios out there they think are gonna happen.

My man. Quit walking this back. You are on official HN record of saying 93% chance this mystery man is coaching Iowa next year. This is just your opinion based on what you've heard. We get it. Lean into it. You aren't on here making wild claims every month. We'll be gentle if it doesn't happen.

I'm not. I told you that 93% is my opinion. I can have a strong opinion and still have no idea if it will happen. It depends totally on a variable that I have no control over. Therefore, I have no idea if it'll happen.

I still think it will, but that's beside the point.

I think you're overreacting a bit. I'm not mad about anything, man. Just speculating and discussing like you are. Internet boards are made for "hot" takes, they also bring a lot of "luke warm" takes. State your opinion freely. If you don't like someone having a different one, if would seem you're the one who's upset or "mad".

I never said there's "no way on earth KF is gone". Where do you get that?

I've always thought Woods would be a good candidate, too. He's a great young coach who's "Iowa" through and through. Speculation that he may considered is one thing. I just don't see how him hugging Lester somehow indicates he's the next coach. Seemed liked kind of a reach. That was the point...that you clearly missed.
