This is why they may be reaching for a home run hire in there eyes to help with recruit retainment, if they get the right guy in a timely manner, they may be able to make the calls to retain some of these recruits, especially if able sell stability that would be maintained. To be honest, with the portal, it's not as big of a deal as was 5 yrs ago. See Cignetti. A team should expect some attrition, but a stud coach may be able to bring in high recruits as well so it could be a wash.

I would be more worried about retaining the guys on campus now. There is a lot of returning talent, especially on D. If Iowa gets a good hire, and announces it early (like this weekend) and gives that guy a chance to meet with the players while they are on campus and still in team/bowl mode, you have a better shot at them wanting to stay. Yes, you want the high school kids too, but my priority would be guys like lose, Van Der Zee, the RB room, etc.

Urban Meyer. He's always respected KF and Iowa and he knows Iowa has a loooooong leash for coaches. Less stress.

<1% change Urban wants to come here. Way too much work. Broseph wants top dollar assistants and players to run the program for him while he's grinding on women other than his wife while wearing sunglasses in bars across the state border.
 


I would assume that if the "Fry Report" (that's what I'll call this) is true and that Beth and her staff/boosters are pursuing someone in particular, that would then mean it's not someone on the staff....correct??? She would have no reason to pursue someone already working in house to gauge whether or not they want the job. The only person on staff that would have to think about it would be Parker and he already said that he's leaving with Kirk. So who is the outsider mostly likely to make Iowa pursue them now? Fitzgerald, Campbell or is it someone who may be getting fired at season's end... DeBoer or is it someone else having a great season at a non-P4 conference and they want to wait until the season is over?

I think based on this scenario there's absolutely no chance that KF's predecessor is currently on the staff. I mean at 70 it's a given his years are numbered and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a coach on the current staff that wouldn't ride it out if notified they were his predecessor. IMO it'd have to be someone we'd have a very short window with in a situation KF was already well aware of.

That said I'm totally clueless. There seem to be some high profile coaches out there with no direct ties to the program, but I wouldn't know who would/wouldn't have interest as I haven't been following the carousel.
 


I would love to see LaVar get it and retain Lester and the rest of the staff. Obviously, Phil likely rides off with KF. Maybe Fitz takes a DC job to get back into coaching? Or Wallace slides into the DC spot. I would think that the best scenario to keep the culture here.
