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

Reading through some of this made me realize that KF doesn't have much of a coaching tree like Hayden Fry did.

It's true, though not many coaches have a tree as successful as Hayden did. The fact that our successful coordinators like the Parkers have been so fiercely loyal speaks volumes about Kirk though. I'm sure Woods has had opportunities, and I think he definitely deserves consideration when Kirk does finally step down.

Woods would be one of my first choices and then hope he could convince Phil Parker to stick around.

KF just confirmed in his pressor today that he's indeed coming back next yr full steam ahead. So we can shelve this thread for another yr anyway

Not a chance in hell. We've kinda been playing this game for a decade now.

No one in Detroit had a good thing to say about him.

That definitely was a failed experiment, but he remains well-respected and his players rave about his approach to teaching. Many coaches just fit better at the college level, and he may be one of them, though I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up back in the NFL as a DC.
