Will Greg Davis be back?

[BILLBUCKNER]

I would like a serious answer. Has he fired an anyone? If so, who?

I don't think he ever fired anyone..Now he may have run them off..Long, Elliot(don't remember if he was never invited to stay on) I would like to know what the deal was with Bielema also.

Elliot left because of a Illness, Hayden was grooming him to be his replacement, BB went to work for Wisconsin under BA

KState gave Bielema the chance to be a coordinator, even though he was a co coordinator of the defense I believe. BB had his bags packed for Arizona when Mike Stoops got the job to be his defensive coordinator, then Wisconsin called at the last minute and the rest is history.

wow ... and yikes...

 

[redhawk55]

Stanzi in 2008 in 9 games had 254 attempts, so what's your point. why does a QB have to be a mad bomber, to prove whether a OC is good or not?

 

[redhawk55]

as for Gilbert he ended up with 441 attempts for 2741 yaqrds and ran for 380 yards and 5 td's and had 10 passing TD's with 17 INT'S, again what's your point, other than he had 2 poor QB's to work with
in 2011 Gilbert was the #3 QB for TX
pretty pathetic attemp at trying to slam GD

Relax dude. I just pasted it from another site. I'm sure Greg appreciates what you're doing for him.

 

[redhawk55]

this is the problem with people trying to slam a coach who never looks it up to what actually goes on.
thx for sharing. but it serves no real purpose to pass on BAD info

KF seems like a big "loyalty" guy, so I suspect GD will be back, even if we don't get another first down all year long.

That said, I don't read much into any comments KF makes about it.. Who would publicly acknowledge that they are planning to replace their OC before actually doing so? It would be like your boss telling you that they are planning on laying you off a month or two before it happens.. Just doesn't work that way.

So I suspect if Davis is NOT retained, it's the type of thing we aren't going to hear about until we see a headline that says "Davis will not return next season".

The President of Auburn University CLICK!

We'll put up with his ineptitude for 5 years then fire him.

 

[DesMoinesHawki]

While the one year contract leaves the door open for Kirk to make a change, I simply don't see it. As others have mentioned, Kirk is a loyalty guy and in the press, Kirk constantly praises Davis. So I say about a 95 percent chance Davis is back with Iowa next year.

Why is a one year contract for all assistants okay, but it is necessary for a Head Coach to have a multi-year contract in order to give recruits the perception of stability?

 

[Billso]

Again, the guy got fired from Texas. He ran the offense when TEXAS LOST TO IOWA STATE.

All of our coordinators have experience losing to Iowa State, so KF prolly viewed this as a positive for continuity.
