Kirk's singular and only vision has always been for Brain to take over as CEO. Anyone else brought in that would have an effect on that role is a threat.
There's your problem. His son is not going to go. The only way Brian goes is if Kirk leaves. Period, point blank.
So I should go outside and ask the sky to turn green because I want it to, and then just "move on" when it doesn't?
This is where I've always been concerning them. For some reason it just seems odd or strained but I could never put a finger on it.
Whatever trips your trigger.
He was KFs DB coach his first yr or so I think wasn't he before he went down to coach with Stoops and win it all? So it's not like they don't have any history. Maybe that's it right there? Long wanted to climb ladder to be Qb/OC but KF preferred KOK so Long left into Stoops waiting arms and went on to win the whole thing. Maybe that rubbed KFs ego wrong heck if I know but it sucks.
Oh for sure it was at first. You think KF still has delusions of grandeur of that though? I mean even as of the start of this season? My God that would make him even more blind and disillusioned then most accuse him of being. On no planet is BF a future HC at Iowa. Unless he turns this offense into a top 30 one for the next 3 yrs straight I can't see him being looked at as HC material anywhere let alone at Iowa. And we all know nothing of the sort is going to happen.
Well. That is amazing, or not. Another rich get richer example.
Interesting. The reality is that a really nasty loss does not damn a team for the season. And, take a look at the other BT teams that are included. Hmm.
I do. Rich people with a lot of power get totally detached from reality.
Woods is by far the best recruiter and second-best coach on this mostly now rag tag squad, behind Phil. He is going to get poached by a team that wants to win, and he will win multiple playoff games as a HC.
There's a lot of logic to what you say. I just hope he doesn't cause thinking BF should be handed the keys to the castle is pure lunacy. It was borderline lunacy before his kid had been OC for 1 day. Now that he has this long it's just a total non starter. If he were to suggest that to Goetz I'd hope she'd laugh him out of the room.
He's got a little time yet to hopefully avoid that but nobody can say it's not going to play out really bad whenever he does retire. Coaching changes are a total crapshoot and Goetz (everyone seems to assume it's her gig anyway) is a wildcard to what she'll do coaching search wise.
Down on talent, yes. Hayden was not at his best for the reason you indicated and his last season was rough. He had lost the magic. But he had been to bowl games the 3 years previous (when there were only 18 bowl games). finishing in the TOP 25 2 of those years. The program was still highly respected within college football ranks
We must accept our inability to recruit QB & WRs. Always been a problem. What is alarming is that Iowa is apparently no longer able to recruit upper tier OL. Even from our own state.
