Or does he backfill a G5 school who's coach moves on up?
Akron – Hiring feasible, weak G5 opening. Would sorta work. Ironically Phil Parker was raised nearby and would be a perfect fit for them.

What cpl of years?I really hope he's gone after this year. Between him and Greg Davis our offense has been nearly impossible to watch minus a couple of years
The most legitimate question should be:So it seems everyone wants BF gone, and I'm starting to get in that camp, but where would he go? I doubt he would leave to become a OC at another program, so I assume his next preferred step would be head coach somewhere.
With the coaching carousel in full swing, does he have a shot at one of the current openings? Or does he backfill a G5 school who's coach moves on up? Does he stay in the midwest and compete with dad for recruits or does he go elsewhere?
I'm sure he's likely to stay at Iowa forever and no one is looking to poach him, but thought this would be a fun exercise to see what everyone thinks...
Mary?Brian doesn't leave Iowa until Kirk retires.
Brian could retire himself when Kirk does.
Also, despite what the haters think, He will have options and opportunities opn to him.
Yeah he is. His posts demonstrate he has a football IQ of about -3.You can't be serious. How about offensive football?
This play, except out of the gun?There was a neat tweak we saw against Illinois in the first half in the red zone was a zone-read action with the TE coming back on a seal/lead motion. It only went for a short gain, but there are all kinds of stuff we can and likely will run out of that set, whether it be zone seal, read option, a boot with the TE to the flat, or even an RPO.
Because it's more fun than the usual "fire ferentz vs. we could end up like Hope/Hazell/Brohm Purdue" or 5x Nebraska/ISU posts per day.Why do people dwell in the world of speculation? Waste of time. He is here until he isn't
Probably extends to all of college football, not just FBS. He doesn’t have a great track record, and right or wrong, depending on whom you ask he’s damaged goods since he was implicated as being abusive and racially biased.The most legitimate question should be:
Who possibly at this point would offer him a Head Coaching Position in Division 1?
I contend there's not another DI school who would offer him an OC position and certainly not one right now that would offer him a HC position.
Can't leave if you don't have any offers. Novel thought but true.
Yup, with QB keep option off of it.This play, except out of the gun?
You're cute when you think you know football.Yeah he is. His posts demonstrate he has a football IQ of about -3.
LOL. That would be the most Iowa thing ever, wouldn't it?Wouldn't it be funny if O'Brien goes to LSU, Brian Follows as OC, and LSU has a good offense?
Yep, because his last name is Ferentz. If his name was Brian Johnson he'd be in pharmaceutical sales right now.
-----So it seems everyone wants BF gone, and I'm starting to get in that camp, but where would he go?
Wasn't Mount Mercy thinking of adding football at
Don’t forget, he has a deposition come up in February. There is not another that would touch him. See Chris Doyle and the Jaguars.-----So it seems everyone wants BF gone, and I'm starting to get in that camp, but where would he go?
Wasn't Mount Mercy thinking of adding football at one time?
As I said, Troy job is available...I don't want BF gone necessarily, and I am wondering about, as a Head Coach, with a Defense like ours this year, if we got up by two scores, if I wouldn't turn into a conservative clock eater O, and get aggressive only when the opponent got inside the the 14 point margin. Look how often it has worked and Iowa has come away with the W. It would be extremely tempting, pound the ball and punt inside the other teams 20, and make them take all the risks.
I wonder if Brian and Kirk ever have the conversation like..."they won't offer the job Dad if I can't get in the top half of Big Ten offenses, and I will never get there if I keep our offense eating the clock. And, Phil might retire before you do, so what kind of Defense does that leave me?"
If I were Brian, getting a head coaching job in the MAC or the NFL might be a route to go. Where he can run his O um-encumbered OR find a rely awesome, inventive OC and build his own independent reputation.
I believe there are some D3 schools looking.So it seems everyone wants BF gone, and I'm starting to get in that camp, but where would he go? I doubt he would leave to become a OC at another program, so I assume his next preferred step would be head coach somewhere.

Why would try even want to interview him? He's the best candidate out there they can find?As I said, Troy job is available...
Missing sarcasm button...Why would try even want to interview him? He's the best candidate out there they can find?
If Brian wants to be HC at Iowa, he needs to leave. He needs more experience not working for his father. I don’t care if it’s NFL or a lower level college gig, he just needs to see something else.
Here's the reality:Remember, Kirk left Iowa to be head coach at Maine which was probably a nothing burger program. But Kirk probably at least got good reviews as the head coach as boss and administrator. Then he was back to coaching and working up the ladder until Iowa job opened up.
Brian should go get a lower level head coaching job if a higher level head coaching job is his main goal. Work out the kinks in your head coaching style and philosophy at a school with lower expectations and if you improve that program then that is a feather in your coaching cap.
As others have said, Brian should have enough salted away, and may not have an interest in Coaching after his Dad retires. If he was serious about getting the head coaching job at Iowa, he must have been guaranteed something close to "right of first refusal" by Barta (his boss), or he would be gone by now building a Head Coaching resume independent of the one he has on his Dad's staff.As I said, Troy job is available...

We said the same thing about KOK when he was OC, so, at this point it does not really seem like it matters who the OC is because we are not going to like the next one either. LOLI really hope he's gone after this year. Between him and Greg Davis our offense has been nearly impossible to watch minus a couple of years
Hint: the offense would be the same with someone else.I really hope he's gone after this year. Between him and Greg Davis our offense has been nearly impossible to watch minus a couple of years

Not much of a resume. How would you sell your offensive players and fans on an OC that has overseen one of the worst offenses in the country for the last five years. Until this year, I had hope for BF.I heard today (somewhat iffy source) that Akron is interested in talking to Brian and there is return interest. I have no idea if there is any smoke here or not.
I posted somewhere else that BF being considered for a HC job is solely due to the outstanding reputation of KF and the Iowa football program, and would have very little to do with his actual coaching accomplishments. NTTAWWT. If any of us could have a 7-figure income just because of who our Dad was, we'd all do it.Not much of a resume.

OH?I don’t think that Iowa fans need to worry about BF calling plays for Iowa next year
I am admittedly curious to what see a BF offense looks like for a team that doesn't use its offense primarily to make the punter look good.
