I don't think he did this because of the fact they brought in some offensive pieces that they thought would help the problem!
It’s kind of a shame that Brian back to OL coach is not an option

Not for me, I’m ready for you guys to find someone completely new to bitch about. And you will…if he was still here, he’d still be a lightning rod. Even if he carried water…
this.
No way that would work, nor would Chryst want Brian lurking as an Ex OC.
Not a comfortable situation.
Brian just needs to move on.
Actually Chryst has 11 million shits to not give. If he doesn't like the KF rules he doesn't play. Thanks Wisconsin!!
That is correct. I wish we could have seen what would happen if he did not have those stipulations in his contract. I think we all know KF would have used the injury excuse as to the offense’s problems this year and would have not made any changes.
I think he was a good OL coach but the more I think about Brians time at OC it kind of reminds me of my oldest son.
He is on the spectrum (not severely) but hes a pretty creative kid. Awkward and takes time to adjust in social settings and likes his routine. Once his routine is thrown off he takes time to adjust and gets a little frustrated and a little temperamental.
Brian can be creative like a few games in his tenure. He is more or less just arrogant and an ass to the media. And once his scripted plays are done or injuries happen he struggles to adjust. Maybe there's a non diagnosis there but I'm 90% sure its just stubbornness and arrogance

After his outburst in Indy, I’m glad he is going to be gone. He completely lost his proverbial shiat after that terrible call and cost the team an unsportsmanlike penalty. He is a liability on the sideline and toxic due to his failures as OC. I’m glad the higher ups at U of I said BF is gone and won’t be coming back in any role with the football program. It’s time to move on to competent coaches that don’t say “what’s the upside” or that he doesn’t care what the fans think. Add in saying they aren’t changing on offense, only going to do it better. And if KF isn’t going to change to have a more modern offense, he can go to.
Money? I don't see BF willing to accept a major pay cut. If you keep his pay the same do you give raises to all the other assistant coaches?
BF may be a good/great coach someday. He needs to get out from under his father's shadow and prove it somewhere else however IMO.
Who are most people that think Brian would be a better head coach than OC? Name me one person who actually said that out loud. That’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. What would qualify him to be a head coach? Cmon man
The OC job was supposed to be Brian's audition for head coach. Not only did he perform poorly, the optics on the sidelines (and in the press box) weren't good.
It's a shame KFz didn't move him back to OL or let him move to the NFL (which he reportedly wanted to do a year or two agao). The both would have saved face.
I don’t think he’s qualified to be a head coach. But I also think he’d be a better head coach than offensive coordinator because it’d be really hard to perform worse in any football role than Brian has done these past three seasons.
Name another team that has demoted its OC/DC to position coach the next season? First off Brian’s ego wouldn’t allow it. 2nd off he’s become too toxic for Iowa on and off the field. Just get him away from the program asap.
While many aspects of that development favored Kirk Ferentz, the players’ side also claimed victory because two counts of the federal lawsuit (overseeing a racially hostile environment and deprivation of civil rights) were allowed to continue and put more scrutiny on the behaviors of Doyle and Brian Ferentz. BRIAN DID NOT HELP THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM WITH HIS OC POSITION AND HIS LACK OF PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR - ADIOS AND NOT AMIGO
I've been proposing the same strategy since before Beth's formal announcement, why not keep Brian on staff as a position coach where he has shown past success?
I realize that Brian's ego may make this an untenable proposition for him, but if he really enjoys coaching here alongside his father, then why not? I couldn't care less about the vocal minority in our fanbase that would howl over this happening.
Dude, I can tell you there are other coaches there that do not exhibit professional behavior and for some reason it has been accepted in many sports. Imagine yelling like many do with the verbiage they us in your own workplace. Be out the door in 5 seconds, no doubts.
I don't. But not sure where you're going w/this. So because Brian was a terrible coordinator he would be better as a head coach? Does that make sense to you? In what world would that qualify him to then oversee a whole program?
I totally disagree with this. He'd be an excellent water boy. Shame on you.
