It sounds Tim Lester is the guy.

Really it doesn’t matter much who Kirk hired. The main point is Brian is no longer the OC. Iowa has a ton of pieces in place for Tim to be successful at Iowa. Kirk is stil the man so the offense won’t be much different however we need someone who can make adjustments on the fly and make good calls based on the adjustments the defense is making to what you’re trying to do. My hope is Tim will be successful at this.
 
His resume is not that dissimilar from Johns. He's demonstrated reasonable success running an offense and has a QB coaching background which is a plus. Also, being immersed in Matt LaFleur's system in GB over the past year can't hurt.

Not a splash hire by any means, but I'm willing to see how it plays out.
 
I said in a earlier post somewhat sarcastically that he'll pick someone that will make it look as if Brian shouldn't have been fired. Lester would be someone with NFL experience and somebody Kirk can manipulate more into his vanilla ass scheme. Not to worry though, the kool-aid drinkers will suck it down like opium based purple passion that I had few times while stationed in Okinawa and buy those season tickets and keep Kinnick full enjoying the same shit we've seen for two decade's and winning those juggernaut games against the weak big teams while trying not forget or admit that we're one of them. The only thing I hope is one day we get a shitty kicker and punter to peel the rest of the onion back. When I hire employees I look for initiative, potential and someone to interject fresh and new idea's. Of course I'm also trying to advance the business I'm head of into future times and offer customers great options and try to compete and surpass my competitors. Not Kirk though, he stuck in late 90's and early 2000's! I swear he's the one behind the space helmet and lunar craft on the MTV in the 80's right before Dire Straits comes on with Money for nothing! There, I've vented hopefully prematurely and if Lester is hired they'll be no ejaculation with it!

Just wait and see hopefully it turns out ok but i think Kirk is still running the whole show . Beth Goetz must of went along with it. Or is it a money thing?
 
Reading the difference came down to control based on Johns and Lester. Johns wanted more control of the offense and Kirk went with Lester.

Don't take it as gospel. That said, results wise, this is a pretty shitty hire.....the best he could do in 90 days?

I will say this though....FryIowa maybe right in this sense.......Kirk may not have been able to get anyone worth a damn for this main reason:

1. Kirk has probably 2 years left max, and the new coach is going to clean house leaving the OC high and dry.

I will add 2 more possibilities:

2. What quality OC wants to work for a micro-manager head coach and coming into Iowa's situation of terrible offense and the focus on defense and punting?

3. Was Iowa prepared to pay top dollar for said quality OC?
