Do you know the mystery coach? And am I going to be frustrated or excited?

That's why this makes it difficult. I listed 2 very very very and I mean, very qualified guys for the job that have also been rumored to be front runners. Knowing our fan base and this site as well as I do, I can almost assure you that "mystery guy" is the most attractive candidate because they have some out of this world and unrealistic expectations on who Iowa is going to hire.
 
I go with PC. Mostly due to he was most recently a HC within our league playing a similar style of smash mouth O that we'd like to do. He has recruiting ties with HS coaches within Wisconsin and the BIG footprint as well. He'd make a 10x better OC/play caller and QB coach then BF ever was. He's overqualified for it if anything.

Philbin feels like another Greg Davis yes man to me. He'd just be happy to be there getting a pay check and would cowtow to anything and everything KF would want without any dissention. We can't have that and PC at his stage of his career is way more likely to not be that then Philbin. Philbin in the past openly had said he wasn't about the recruiting aspect of things hence why he was in the pros for so long..

Well sorry sweetheart but that's a huge huge part of it along with the portal and I think as old as he is this part of the game has passed him by.

Honestly PC is about as good of an OC as we could hope to get frankly. Guys like Grubb in Washington are a pipe dream. We'd be lucky to have PC be OC for the rest of KFs career really lucky. So due to all I've said I suppose Philbin is who KF will pick.

In a perfect world I'd like to see PC as OC and Philbin take Budmayrs gig.... But I can't see that happening either.

Yah, I wouldn't be livid.
I wouldn't be thrilled.
I'm pretty firm on the idea that the likelihood of being thrilled is somewhere around 0.001%.
Even at any other school, I would only put that at a .01% chance. Even if it's some sort of alleged "wunderkind", I'm still skeptical until I see results and history.
 
Out of the two names given I would chose Joe even though I voted for Chryst.

It would only seem natural to have it be Chryst. Can’t remember how many times I sat with my dad and heard him say over and over while watching Kirk’s offense “Holy Chryst!!!!”

I think Kirk would be a perfect sales representative for “VIAGRA”

“Hi there sports fans I am Kirk Ferentz of the Iowa Hawkeyes and I mastered the three and out offensive scheme at the University of Iowa. Thanks to a great AD names Barta I was able to not perform year after year on the offense and get off Scott free. However my wife was not impressed with this mind set and let me know without any certain terms that this was not going to work for her. I found this new pill called viagra that has lifted my production levels to to new heights and I now have unlimited scoring ability!” “For you Hawkeye fans out there leave no doubt……… I do not take this pill to work with me to work. I tried that once and my defensive coordinator took it by accident as he mistook it for vitamin C and has maintained his position at unlimited heights ever since.”
 
I'm not a big risk taker.

I don't like going to vegas.

I don't understand Craps.

For the reasons above, I'm going with Paul. Also because I want to see IGC eat his shoe.
 
I am going with Philbin only because I believe he and Chryst are about the same person in this regard, and I think Philbin will stick and play out the string with KF. Chryst might last a year and then get another HC offer and be gone.

I don't believe in curveballs when it comes to KF, so the mystery guy is elevating from within and I am dead set against that.

Oh same here. Till we get Oline personnel developed/upgraded the improvement we all want will be stunted. Then another weapon at WR or two needs to happen. I love what Brown brings to the table but he won't/can't be everything. Then of course we need a QB. Ideally if Lainez would be that guy as a 6'2 225 lb mobile guy that'd be perfect. But if not him someone besides Hill has to be # 2 next yr cause he isn't it and I have little faith that Cade can play 10 plus games. He just seems like damaged goods now. I'd be tickled if he proves me wrong though. New OC no matter who it is really has their work cut out for them.
 
Paul Chryst
Joe Philbin
Andy Ludwig
Klint Kubiak

Of those 4 I would want Chyrst. Even though Klint Kubiak would be intriguing.
 
Oh yes, let's make a deal. But kf will play it more like the price is right and let the little Swedish mountain climber guy run out of time and fall off the top of the mountain.
That folks will be your big splash!
