I have experience with the UI hiring process both from the job seeking and the job offering sides. The Coordinator Experience item is listed under Desirable Qualifications, not Experience Required. That means that they will give preference to applicants with coordinator experience, but they will not rule out applicants without it. Put another way, DQ is where you daydream about your perfect candidate; ER is where you describe the worst-case scenario candidate.

Maybe you can enlighten all of us and tell us what difference it matters if posted today or 3 weeks ago.
Nobody that sends in a resume and cover letter is getting this job. It is a technicality that it has to be posted. This isn't your typical job posting and KF and Barta sort through applicants and bring in 5 or 6 for interviews.
I'm sure KF has in mind who Norm's replacement will be and that person probably won't "apply" until after being hired.

I still think its either Aiken or Phil Parker.
here is to hoping for aiken. nothing against parker just prefer aiken and his dl abilities to get us back where we belong with the dl.

This makes a lot of sense. Right now the two coaching positions Iowa is looking to fill are the DL and LB's. You can bring Aiken in to be the DC and coach the DL and promote LeVar Woods to LB's coach which is the position he played so he would know something about that position.

Because 3 weeks ago shows that we're ready to move on from Norm. Acknowledging that fact doesn't take a thing away from Norm or Ferentz.
Instead, it looks like Ferentz refuses to let go. If he knows who the new coordinator is, then just name them and move on so we don't have to deal with stupid speculation, like whether we'll find out who the new DC is from a recruit because they were told (and only told this huge state secret because NCAA rules might demand it).
And that's really a big problem for this program in general: they just flat out seem to revel in letting speculation run wild, when if they knew the first damn thing about PR they could head off some of the crap.

Aiken has a season to finish. If its an inside hire no reason to announce.

How about ten years on the message boards?

Again, this is standard university procedure. You people keep acting like this is a pro team. Look at all the job openings at the university. They do exactly the same thing. They have to advertise, give a reasonable amount of time for people to apply, and all apps have to go through the equal opportunity office.
Now, if it is Parker, there will be another spot available. But they could fill that by promoting Woods, just like they did with Kacs.

Even if this was posted 3 weeks ago it doesn't mean they would have made a hire by now, in fact I am 100% sure a hire wouldn't have been made by now even if posted 3 weeks ago.
Some of you people have no idea how this process even works and just assume that since nobody has been named a DC that Barta and KF and the rest of the people involved are just sitting on their a** and doing nothing which couldn't be further from the truth.
And the speculation about a DC, are you kidding me? The right people know what is going on and so do recruits. The general public doesn't need to know what is going on behind the scenes. If rumors start flying so be it, but the University doesn't owe anyone anything about speculation rumors.

I'm telling you, they made a definitive mistake. They could have booted Norm out the door after his last official duty was to post the opening for his own job. Then none of this message board speculation would be in play and peace would exist among Hawkeye Nation.
In fact, they should have just hired the next guy and maybe let Norm fetch his coffee for his last official act...just as a precautionary measure, so there was no confusion.

Or so, buddy!
It's all a great mystery that will be solved in 2 weeks or so.
That's if all of the "insiders" don't have it solved before then.

I don't disagree.
But if it's Aiken, Iowa could have also simply announced that and that he wouldn't join the team until his duties were finished with his current employer. Problem solved, speculation ended.
There was a thread the other day about how Norm isn't getting enough attention in all of this. Well, not having the new DC named is a big part of the reason why.
Because that's worked out SO WELL for the university recently.
