OregonSt OC is the HC ... Parker is stuck in that awful scheme Which works vs bad teams. He needs to go too. Blow it up and at least make it exciting and fun. They haven’t won anything in 25 years anyway.Beth needs to hire Levar as HC, keep Phil as DC as well as the rest of the staff minus George Barnett. Give Levar an open check book to bring in the Oregon State OC to turn this god awful offense around.
Or Phil as head coach, Seth Wallace DC, and the rest as stated.
I don’t think his lack of HC experience keeps the job from him. Now, hiring BF as OC without any OC experience — that was extremely stupid. A coordinator has to have proven X’s and O’s coaching chops. The head coach, on the other hand, needs to be able to manage his staff, relate to his players, and recruit. LeVar has been around long enough to handle those duties without any problem, IMO.I really like the idea of Woods as HC, and I think most fans would embrace it. He's an Iowan, played for the Hawks, played in the NFL and has been in the program since 2008.
But, no HC experience might keep him from getting the job.
Give Phil a pay bump and title of associate head coach. Phil mentors one of his Defensive assistants on his system.It’s been said before, but here’s a plan that should be relatively easy to put in place:
This approach preserves continuity and the Iowa football culture while maintaining the strong defense and special teams and bringing competence to the OC position.
- Elevate LeVar to head coach
- Fire Barnett
- Pay Phil to stay as DC for the rest of his career, or elevate Seth Wallace to DC if Phil leaves
- Give LeVar free reign to hire the best OC, OL coach, and special teams coach he can find
I think bringing in a whole new staff is usually a mistake, as it increases the risk of going the way of NE and other programs that have changed coaches like changing their clothes and floundered as a result.
I tend to agree. A modern HC is a CEO. The program leader - they don't diagram plays in the dirt.I don’t think his lack of HC experience keeps the job from him. Now, hiring BF as OC without any OC experience — that was extremely stupid. A coordinator has to have proven X’s and O’s coaching chops. The head coach, on the other hand, needs to be able to manage his staff, relate to his players, and recruit. LeVar has been around long enough to handle those duties without any problem, IMO.
Jonathan Smith is the head coach, Brian Lindgren is the OC. Both have been at OSU since 2018 working together. Bring in a new Brian to replace BarF.OregonSt OC is the HC ...

Bob stoops.
If KF quits out of protest for BarF being fired, Stoops is the first person Beth should call to step into the role as long as no other Stoops is allowed to coach at Iowa.Bob stoops.
Right??? You no that your new HC is a good friend of Brians and have worked together right?Bill O’Brien HC.
Keep Phil.
Keep Levar.
Yep. The schedule is a massive break for the Ferentz'. The combination of Minny, Nebby, MSU, Purdue and Northwestern are as bad as a group as they ever will be.Clean house on the offensive side of the ball.
Kirk needs to retire.
Another yawn 8-4/9-3 season against an absolutely brutal B1G West doesn't really indicate where the program is at.
Once we get the western teams into the conference, Iowa will struggle to go 6-6.
Not sure if you are implying that KF will be fired? Will not and should not happen. A new OC and OL coach, yes.I’m tired of the bitching and moaning about the program. Also tired of the impotent offense with no change in sight.
If the divorce occurs, what’s the plan once they’re gone?
BOB would fire BF firstRight??? You no that your new HC is a good friend of Brians and have worked together right?
My point being he's more likely to hire him then he is to fire him.....BOB would fire BF first
I’d be fine with that. However, it obviously isn’t a long-term solution, and I’d be surprised if Bob wanted to take that on at this point. LeVar would obviously have at least 20-25 years of coaching in him and would do a lot to maintain stability, IMO.I still think Bob Stoops is the best man for the job.
I agree with this. I guess I’m on the side of cleaning house. Yes, Phil Parker is great. If he wants to stay and be DC for the new coach and if the new coach wants him to stay, I’d like to see it happen, but it doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker. I could see if Kirk leaves soon, Parker leaves and goes to someplace like Alabama or LSU and gives it five years as DC at a contender to see if he can win a national title. I think he’d have that option.1. Hire new coach
2. See how it goes
And tell Brian to go **** himself.Beth needs to hire Levar as HC, keep Phil as DC as well as the rest of the staff minus George Barnett. Give Levar an open check book to bring in the Oregon State OC to turn this god awful offense around.
Or Phil as head coach, Seth Wallace DC, and the rest as stated.
My thoughts on this exactly.What is the fascination with Levar as HC? He is even less qualified to be head coach as Brian was to be OC.
Iowa hired a head coach in the not too distant past that came from the Hawkeye family, but had no college HC experience. It didn’t turn out so well. Just something to keep in mind.I don’t think his lack of HC experience keeps the job from him. Now, hiring BF as OC without any OC experience — that was extremely stupid. A coordinator has to have proven X’s and O’s coaching chops. The head coach, on the other hand, needs to be able to manage his staff, relate to his players, and recruit. LeVar has been around long enough to handle those duties without any problem, IMO.
