I would make two phone calls nearly simultaneously.....to Bielema and Bob Stoops. Neither has to interview. Whoever gets back to me first gets the job. $4.5M/year.
If neither take it, go away from the coaching tree and get the best available.

Someone with some recruiting power..
I know a lot of people want BB or Bob Stoops, but there are many choices out there. Look at Bob Diaco, Mark Stoops, Hell Mike Stoops, Jim Leavitt, I would even take, no **** Dan McCarney right now at least he is passionate. We also have Brent Venables at Clemson D.C. Look at this link to Hayden Fry, stay with-in the tree folks its a proven winner period. http://coachingroots.com/football/coaches/hayden-fry/coachingtree http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2012/5/30/3052737/coaching-trees-hayden-fry-is-your-daddy http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970204879004577110731460989536 and I have saved the best article for last one that shows those worthy of coaching at the Harvard of Football!!!! THEEEEE University of Iowa http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970204879004577110731460989536

Bret Bielema
Bob Stoops or the other Stoops Brothers
Bob Diaco
Dan McCarney
Those calls would need to be placed.
Beyond that, I think you look for someone who would run an uptempo offense that vertically stretches the field on offense. Really, that does not take much of imagination, but enough of this horizontal crap:

YES!!! For 4.5 mill, doubt he would balk. Gets him out of SEC (Kentucky, although improving, playing against a 'stacked deck'). Has star-power in his name, and INNOVATIVE (the antithesis of Ferentz)

I would like us to take a look at Paul Chryst at Pitt.
He did a nice job as OC at Wisky under Bielema. He knows the B1G landscape and employs a true power football running game (not the crap we pass off as great o-lines and running game). He has Wisconsin roots and is well respected up there. He might be able to steal some guys that would typically go to UW and there are some decent players up there.
I am not sold on Gary Anderson so this would be nice to grab this guy and start getting back up on Wisky. That would freaking drive them nuts!
What I also like is he knows how to steam roll these crappy teams that KF annually loses to and how to beat OSU which Wisky has probably done more than anyone in the last 20 years.
That is who I would strongly consider. Let's make it happen.

I am sorry, but I would seriously question the judgement of anyone that considers Mike Stoops a possible candidate. If you limit yourself to the Hayden Fry coaching tree candidates that would take the job, you may take yourself out of the running for the best coaching candidate out there, whomever it is. What if the best young coach out there had no connection to Hayden. Again, I am sorry, but anyone who limits a search in this manner, I would simply question their judgement.
i guess that is a nice way of saying I don't put any stock in anything you say, for the logical reasons stated above.

You call Bob Stoops, first.
Then, you call Bret Bielema.
JOB COMPLETE.
Pretty confident you wouldn't need to look any further, as one of these two would take the job.
Bob is having a great year at Oklahoma, with a key win against Oklahoma, but overall, he has a very tough fan base.
Before the 2011 Insight Bowl, he reminded of Little Jim Mora once talk glowingly about the Washington Huskies.
Bret left Wisconsin after winning 3 straight Big Ten titles, as he felt he couldn't do any better.
Plus, as we know, Alvarez and him had a so-so relationship, and Bret was tired of losing his assistants.
If Stoops doesn't come, seems like a very high percentage that Bielema would come.
Bob is 54 and Bret is 44, but coaches don't usually stay at the same place for more than 10 year (heck, 5 years).

Bielema left wisky because he couldn't keep his assistants, Iowa will not be able to pay them as much as Arkansas. I don't see him coming to Iowa. I think we have to burn the Hayden Fry coaching tree, nothing against Hayden but it is too limiting. Look for the BEST candidate not the best one with ties to Iowa.
