Just because I'm bored of the legal garbage...what would you think of bringing in McDaniels as the offensive coordinator and relegating KOK to QB coach?
Josh McDaniels

I was hoping we could ignore that aspect of it and just discuss it hypothetically.

McDaniels started at Michigan State under Saban as a grad assistant I think.

He has a pass first ideology I think so that just wouldn't work here.

McDaniels is going to be a good head coach some day. He will land somewhere maybe college ranks as a HC.
People keep forgetting that KOK runs the offense the way he does because that's the way KF *wants* him to run it. In the .00000001% chance that KF replaces KOK and hires Josh McDaniels, he would be told to run the same offense with the same overall philosophy: vanilla, execute better than your opponent, be conservative and safe, hope the other team makes the mistakes, 50/50 run/pass.
To change the offense you will have to get rid of KF, and I don't think many are ready for that yet. At least I hope not!

In that case, when I am declared undisputed queen of the planet, should I go by Her Majesty or Her Excellency?

I think that is the worst part of this whole idea. KOK doesn't do much to develop the mechanics of the QB, he's an Xs and Os guy. They should just replace him. I'm all for Chuck Long.
Don't think that Chuck Long is the answer. His track record the last 4-5 years leaves something to desire as a coach. Great player ; subpar coach.

You mean as San Diego St.'s HC or KU's OC. Both not the greatest positions to be in. However when he was QB coach at OU they won a national championhsip. I guess it has to do with the talent level, and I'd say Iowa is inbetween those 2 programs at the respective time periods.

I agree, at OU when he was OC/QB coach he helped develop a heisman trophy winner and some pretty good QB's that didn't have a lot of big name recognition. Granted, alot of coaches aren't head coach material but are great coordinators!

McDaniel's pedigree is in the pros. He will stay at that level. He will probably get an OC position somewhere and return to HC position eventually. I think he will be very good someday. The Broncos--- a) didn't have anymore time to let him get through his learning curve (although I would of liked to see one more year with the help of)---b) he was not given a separate manager of operations and was just too in overhead at his experience level.
The money would probably not be right either. Nor all the egos involved. Nor as other posters indicated, the O philosophy would not greatly change.

Personally, I want to KEEP the current Offensive scheme and change the OC to someone who can run it efficiently and put points on the board. You don't have to run a spread to score points and "conservative" does NOT mean the same thing as "low scoring." Too many fans have confused the two for far too long - because quite frankly KOK has run the Offense so poorly that is what some fans have come to think KF wants: a low score.
I refuse to believe that KF or any other head coach does not want to score points. KOK simply is not getting that job done inside the Iowa system. He may be the most bestest DIII spread coach in the world - but he isn't a good fit for Iowa's offensive scheme and his production (or lack thereof) proves it.

I'd love to see them open up their wallets for Gus Malzahn, but that'll never happen either.
