I disagree here. I think Norm has more autonomy than any other coach or coordinator on staff. I think Norm can run whatever scheme Norm wants to run, he just prefers the standard 4-3 cover two, and for good reason.
D coordinator happenings?

I thought I had heard that Mike Stoops burned some bridges in Iowa City in the past.
Duff, I agree. I also think Norm has much more autonomy than the others.
Not sure what to think of all of this. On one hand, I do think the AD would step up and issue some kind of statement about Norm's continued committment to the team (if he is able). The fact that they haven't, and that there was a presser today, seems fishy.
I don't know much about Stoops as a DC but I have watched him as a HC. He doesn't strike me as a Ferentz kind of guy. In fact he seems like an asshat. Then again, Ferentz did make a point of stating publically that he planned to call Stoops after he was fired and even then that seemed a bit of a pointed comment.
As for adding Stoops to the mix, I wonder how he'd do with Coach K. He's a firey guy as well and I have to wonder how they'd work together. It'll be really interesting to see how this all unfolds and, if it happens, it opens up all kinds of crazy scenerios once KF chooses to retire.

We have not had a thread run like this in a long time--- maybe BW leaving camp thread/rumor..? Amazing. Oh, and that turned out to be true, too.
I have no problem with Stoops being a DC for the Hawks. He was certainly good at that position before. I'm just not sure he can find the speed here that he had at okie.
just sayin, it might take a while to get things squared away/ recruited..
But I vote yes, assuming Norm is stepping down because of his health.

Yeah, he's pretty much unimpressive as a HC. I'll be shocked and probably disappointed if there's really anything to this.

Was this talked about on TV or were you at the game? You've mentioned this a couple times now, so I don't know if it was something obvious during the broadcast that I missed or if you were there and witnessed it.
Either way, I agree with your sentiment.

They said it on the broadcast. I took it with a grain of salt figuring Kirk just went over there to talk to them. Would like to know if anyone saw it

I've seen Ferentz go ballistic on the O-line in the middle of a game. Back when Brian Ferentz was playing. Lots of spit flying.
Yeah, we have heard this about him and the Oline. But not another unit.
Basically, the sideline reporter said he had a heated exchange with the DLine in which he accused them of sleepwalking "out there."
Then they went out and had 2 TFL's and a 3 and out.
Just can't see how that bodes well for the position coach who needs the head coach to come in to motivate his players.

Really makes you wonder even more about the departures along the front. I'm not suggesting we get rid of Coach K or anything like that. It's just an interesting bit of information that could possibly be related.
I really hope that is not true... KF should not have to do that. The D-Line should be motivated as it is and if they aren't their position coach should be taking care of that.

Count me in as excited. We need some new blood on the defensive side of the ball. On top of that we get a defensive coordinator who can actually go out and recruit... Something Norm won't/can't do. I think it's a win win for us.

The sideline reporter said it was Kaczenski who told the DL they weren't trying hard enough, which led to the 3 and out

And yes, it would hep if we had a defensive coordinator who went out and recruited.
