This Guy Gets It

So he doesn't make the coaching hires? If not, then that's precisely my point.
Rumor is that once Kirk is done at Iowa, the UofI is letting Ann Rhodes make the next head football coaching hire;)

So who does. Kirk?
Donors and by extension of donors who love Kirk, Kirk does.

If you think Gary Farta makes even the remotest decisions on anything to do with football or basketball you're head is so far in the sand I can't help ya.
 
I'd almost be fine with that. If we had a dominant offensive line like we have in the past it would mask a lot of BF's ineptitude.
I'm not almost fine with that it's a must. No idea how you can get that many OL men drafted and play at the highest level but they DON'T play at the highest level when they play at Iowa. We've seen great OL coaching Philbin when Kirk took the HC job and Hayden when he had Haight and those guys and when O'Hare was the OL coach until his passing. So, it can be done....it has been done and now more than ever Kirk needs to stop being a sick in the mud and do what's right for the program.
 
Having Brian take over as soon as Kirk retires is 100% the plan. The only question remains is whether they can keep the program average enough for him to actually take it there. They want a couple of good years and then KF will walk away and Barta will sign off on it.
Thank you for stating the obvious.

They had skill position players under Hayden and assistants. Under kirk, not so much
 
Philbin was at the game Kirk should BEG him to come back and be the OL coach...I mean BEG him to.

I guess he's unemployed currently. Stranger things have happened but I think he'd be more likely to be co-OC/OL, since he's a former NFL OC and head coach. They were showing how O'Keefe, KF and Philibin were all coaching at Worcester Academy in CT so they go way back.

It would even be reasonable to hire him like KOK to come back and consult....maybe teach Polashek OL techniques etc. We have a middling floor with this OL how can we get them to achieve close to their ceiling?

Yep, consulting is very possible (if it's allowed by the NCAA idk). I'm sure he could look at the game film every week and tell Polasek what to do in minimal hours.
