One aspect that I think will be interesting to watch. When Kirk steps down, no matter which way Goetz goes, I think we'll see staff movement. Say she goes with an outside hire and the staff departs. Maybe Wallace (or someone else) takes a head non-P4 job. Who are "his guys" who follow him...

I'm not obsessing over it, but it might be fun to watch this play out week to week. We all know the margin for error is pretty slim most weeks with Iowa, so a loss could happen at any point. That said, this is looking like one of Kirk's teams that can go on a run and stack some wins...

Love Benetti. His work with Bill Walton doing Pac-12 games should have won awards - it was gold. He was the perfect partner for Walton. I like Huard, too. I'm out here in WA and he seems to be everywhere (and well respected). I remember him gushing about his first visit to Kinnick several years...

He had one catch last season. One.

I like to imagine the dinner conversation at the Ferentz household last night. Mary: "Good for her. The press release said she is looking forward to exploring other interests and hobbies she has, and traveling with her husband David." Kirk (staring down at his salad, focused entirely on...

The Kallenberger stuff was definitely wrong. But is there anything else that causes you to call him a puke human being? My hunch was that Doyle walked around with a sense of complete autonomy and filled with hubris, and Brian took a shine to that approach. Which was particularly problematic...

Baller.

Do you mean really nasty from the standpoint of fans' vitriol to Brian as OC?

But would you be shocked if Team Ferentz still thinks this is a possibility? (To return as an O-line coach under Wallace in a couple years?). I mean, seems like Kirk was holding onto the notion of Brian still being his successor years after everyone else knew that ship had sailed.

Only spit-ballin' here, but I wonder if a certain scenario is contributing to Brian taking an analyst gig that likely allows him to stay in Iowa City instead of uprooting his family to chase on field position coach opportunities (which would seem to play more to his strengths)? That scenario...

Just stumbled upon this old thread. Given we're considering a relocation back to my hometown of Iowa City, I'll be sure to hang on to this offer. I'll even buy. You pick the spot. You an IPA guy? Lager? I like 'em all.

What's your gut tell you for how this ends? For both Shannon and the DCI.

Me too. It you were trying to set the cops up by planting a fake email, you wouldn't make it that obvious.

Adkins also badly misread what the public reaction would be.

See this one that leaked out today? I saw this in a Keith Murphy tweet.... In the federal lawsuit filed on behalf of 26 former and current student-athletes mostly from Iowa and Iowa State against the Iowa DCI for allegedly violating constitutional rights by warrantless searches, here's an email...

I tend to agree, although I wonder if he was somewhat selective based on the stability of the opportunity? In other words, if the only opportunities to be an OL or TE coach at P5 schools were at places that the coach seemed to be on the hot seat and/or it was fairly likely a heading coach...

Unbelievable toughness, courage and resiliency. How can you not be romantic about sports?

I'm not looking to kick any dirt on the guy at this point - genuinely hope he finds a good path for himself in coming years. But I am interested in what his options were. Do you think he basically decided to take a redshirt year this year? In other words, do you think Brian was looking to...

Think he even needs to relocate? Might be able to do the job from Iowa City, fly in for a couple nights each week during the season. I'm guessing he isn't moving his family for that job.

Yep, what's weird is I am not sure I ever really liked running. Yet I ran cross country and track all through college. By about junior year of high school, it had become a year round sport for me. Lots of miles. I think the reason I couldn't quit was the love of competing as a team. Plus cross...
