Just my opinion but I don't think Kirk would make an announcement until after the bowl game which in reality isn't too far away. The only way I could see sooner is if he is retiring for sure and the "secret" candidate they want isn't available anymore. Once a couple high profile positions start to get filled and the domino effect starts you need to announce that the job is available to try and get some candidates. Of course all of this won't matter if the candidate is in house.

I think that would be too late this day in age. It's an arm's race out there. This ain't 1995 anymore.

I think that would be too late this day in age. It's an arm's race out there. This ain't 1995 anymore.

It all depends on who this candidate is and if they accept early. If they feel the candidate is wrapped up then there is no hurry but as I mentioned if they feel there is a gap and the other positions start to fill then they have to announce it.

Kirk won't want the attention before the bowl game if he can avoid it. The question is if it can be avoided. If Woods is the guy then nothing needs to happen. If Deboer, Dabo, etc are in play then this Saturday or possibly Friday night we need to see an announcement but not sure if he would do it at an away game facility. If Iowa is in play for a high profile guy it may take a little time for the musical chairs game to sort itself out so yes they need to get a jump on it.
