Iowa to hire Bobby Kennedy and Jim Reid?

[thejumper5]

This is what FootballScoop.com is reporting. Kennedy was most recently the WR coach at Colorado. Before that, he was with Greg Davis at Texas. Reid has been the DC at Virginia for the past three seasons. He has head coaching experience at VMI, Richmond, and UMass. He was once the DL coach for Syracuse and coached LBs for the Dolphins from 2008-09.

Reid for Wilson? Or is there other shuffling going on? I thought Erb was out? Hmmm.

Kennedy has been coming to Iowa since the fall. It's who gd wanted from day 1. Ferentz gave erb, Campbell and Wilson ultimatums in their postseason meetings to look for new work. The Campbell domino fell, erb is out, but nothing official yet and with Jim Reid it looks like the Wilson domino will fall as well.

I'm really hoping we hire Bobby Kennedy and I'm hoping that after a win and the next game up is in Evanston, he's say something like, "now it's on to Chicago and let's win there too".

Excellent historical reference. If kennedy can get it done all the better.

Thanks for up-date. It doesn't appear as if KF is just sitting on his hands as so many people around here think.

There seems to be a lot of shaking in Iowa City this offseason. I like it.

Thoughts on Bobby Kennedy?


A few quotes who those who don't click the link:

Terrible. High school level coaching, wasted a ton of talent by not knowing how to push guys towards improvement.

Should make him a DB coach. He can shut down WRs like nobody's business.

His receivers didn't seem to block worth a $#@!

Color me unimpressed.

In all honesty what were you expecting TX fans to say? They basically ran the offensive side of the coaching staff out the door. Of course they are going to say bad things.

 

[OUTofTOWNHAWK]

He worked for greg davis so he has to be good. Kirk davis knows what hes doing. Plus this will give one more year of "give him a break he has a new staff".

 

[INTIMIDATORHawk]

I thought this line was pretty good:

"My first thought on hearing this rumor is that Kirk Ferentz must actually hate the Iowa Hawkeyes. He's trolling you."

Last year was the transition year. This year is for keepsies.

The ending wasn't so good on that one.

Hope this is true. It tells you how bad those asst. coaches are when they can't get hired by anybody else. It's been over two months and they still can't find anything.

Glad this is happening now, should've happened several years ago even if KOK was still the OC.

this makes sense. My question - is this speculation?

Shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Doubling down on the GD experiment. I am not impressed.

I was talking to a fb friend of mine that plays for Colorado and he told me Kennedy was coming to Iowa as far as he knew.

The AD should be fired for that contract. I wouldn't give Nick Saban a contract that at any point would require a buyout that large.
