I have a different thought on the whole thing.
The Greg Davis hire never made sense from the get go and I think it was that way for a reason. What if Davis was a strategic hire so Kirk could bring Brian in as OC next year? If Kirk would have hired Brian without any OC experience people would have been upset about the whole thing. Now, since Davis has done such a poor job as the OC, they can remove him and place Brian in the spot without anybody questioning why Kirk would hire his own son as OC when he doesn't have any experience as an OC. Then when Kirk leaves in 2020 that gives Brian a good opportunity to take over as the head coach of the Hawks.
I'm not drunk, just thinking outside the box a bit.
This isn't as outlandish as you think it is. It actually makes the most sense. Brian coming to Iowa from the Patriots is a lateral move (at best). However, I doubt Davis was hired as a one-year "mentor" for Brian. It would be for 2 or 3 years at least.
