"IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

I wonder if Bri doesn't end up as OL or TE coach in Evanston next year? If fact, if there is significant change on Iowa's staff soon, I could see a few guys ending up there.

He could get a move to East Lansing Next year. I could see Fitz hiring him. I think his relationship with Kirk is strong since his son is on the team and Brian would fit Fitz's play style. I think Brian is a good position coach but not a good coordinator.
 


Several of these candidates will be snapped up with so many vacancies out there, but my short list would be:

1. Clark Lea, Vanderbilt. Anyone who can build a powerhouse at Vanderbilt is special. This would be a home run.

2. Ryan Silverfield, HC, Memphis. He checks all of the boxes and I think he would be a good fit.

3. Jon Sumrall, HC, Tulane. Assuming Phil leaves with Kirk, we will need someone with a strong defensive background that can hand pick his guy.

4. Eric Morris, HC, North Texas. Classic "gets the most out of his talent coach"

5. David Braun, HC, Northwestern. He's better than people think. Also, a great character guy.

Anyone thinking that Fitzgerald is the right guy should read this article first:

Being that he won a nice settlement for wrongful termination and just accepted a HC job at Michigan State for a ton of cash. Fitzgerald seems to be vindicated…
