KF using the program for leverage?

Why would a guy who was an offensive player and now only an offensive coach be the defensive coordinator? That's not a very good theory.

I don't believe that Elvis & Jim Morrison are alive and using their gas station in Kalamazoo as a front for a Martian takeover of the world but I am thinking of starting a thread about it in order to find out if other people think it's possible.

It came to my attention that maybe KF may be using this long delay in announcing Parker as DC to help give his son leverage with the Patriots organization. If true what's your thoughts if he is doing this?

Sounds very possible and if you play out with what has been going on with NE superbowl run, open positions there, BF's aspirations, KF pushing back the search everytime NE advanced, the fact BF's name was thrown out there a couple of times as coming back, and the very strong rumors that it is already Parker and it hasn't been announced yet, and if true then why?

I for one don't think it is the case but when I heard this and played it out in my mind over and over again, it seemed more and more realistic. If true, I think it is appalling.

I think you just wasted 5 minutes of your time typing this and who knows how much time speculating on improbable ideas like this one.
 
If not DC, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Brian is Iowa's new DL coach.

The more experience Brian gets, the more chances of him ascending a football coaching ladder.
 
Why wouldn't it make sense?

How much experience did Brian have with tightends before he became tightends coach at NE?

I'm also sure Brian knows Kirk's football philosophy inside and out.

He was a pro offensive lineman. TE's do the same thing as O-lineman half the time, pretty good experience if you ask me.

In what fantasy land is leaving a positon coaching gig for the Patriots for a position coaching gig for Iowa a step up the coaching ladder? Let's see, on one hand we have the best franchise in professional sports, and on the other, we have a middle of the road team in an increasingly irrelevant conference.

If he were to make that move, it would be an epic tumble down the coaching ladder.

Because coaches don't coach both sides of the ball very often in their career. Plus, I have a hard time seeing why he would want to go from a pro assistant coaching career to a college assistant position.

Plus if he had any desire to coach at Iowa somewhere I'm sure he could have whenever he wanted.

Nepotism. You don't think Brian would get all kinds of coaching experince from his dad?

Or for Bill Belichick? Plus, he'll look good to other teams already because he happens to have one of the best Tight Ends in the league playing for the team now while he is tight end coach.
 
Anyone ever read Halberstam's book on Belichick, The Education of a Coach?

Anyone who has read this book and followed the Iowa program under Ferentz would find it more likely that Ferentz and Belichick would conspire to humble Brian Ferentz. Those two guys are old school and buddies.

I'm sure Ferentz will do what he can to help Brian's career over the long haul, but to think he'd delay an announcement to help his son gain leverage on a man he greatly respects is ridiculous. Kirk is more likely to call Bill and tell him to come up with a new org structure as a practical joke that requires his tight end coach to wash the head coach's car.
 
Why in the world would they wait until AFTER signing day to hire a coordinator? Don't you think defensive recruits want to know who their d coordinator and position coaches will be? I've seen a lot of waivering from Defensive recruits (Johnson) or else guys that have committed elsewhere (Lambert, Curry, etc).

No. I don't think he has as much a run of the team in NE as he would at Iowa.
Fixed my own post.

Now you're changing your argument. You said he would go to Iowa to advance up the coaching ladder, now you say he is going to Iowa to have "a run of the team" (wtf???). Which is it. Does he want to advnace up the coaching ranks, or does he want to hide behind his daddy?

I won't claim to know Brian very well at all, but one of those descriptors does not work with him in the slightest.

IMO, Iowa (Ferentz) has already decided on a DC (P. Parker). However, some position coaches haven't been filled. The end of the Super Bowl will give us the answers EDIT: because Iowa (Ferentz) is evidently going to announce position coaches and the DC at the same time.

Ghost, means the same, alright?? A coach who might have head coaching aspirations would need to know what's going on on offense, defense, special teams, etc.

It helps EDIT: an aspiring head coach to formulate a football philosophy and helps to decide who would be good coaches in that philosophy. You gettin' it now?
