Guess what? He said second or third week of January, right?

Kirk gives Update on Offensive Coordinator Search. Plans to have OC in place 2nd or 3rd wk of January. Leistikow: Chryst has Best Odds at getting Job
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
No one on the current offensive staff deserves to recruit, be promoted, be retained, so yea, if Kirk stays in house on this OC position I hope tix holders show their disgust with an avalanche of tix cancellations. I’m assuming there are hard core holders with generational seats that will never give up those seats but if there’s a drop of 20k or so that would be substantial to make Beth and the powers that be sit up and take notice.
Can’t blame anyone for it taking this long. All of our offensive efforts were being put towards Tennessee. Still trying to figure out what exactly we did for that month after the big ten title game. But it would make a good 30 for 30 someday.
At this point, I think it makes sense to hold off just a bit. There’s a whole lot of coaches who are just now becoming available. Might be waiting to see how some of this shakes out.
The fact that the NFL has 7 head coach vacancies may have something to do with our seemingly slow OC hire. There will be a lot of assistant coaches looking for employment as a result. This could end up being a good thing for Iowa.
Bingo. Just look and find which NFL team was ranked 133rd in total offense this past year and I’ll bet anything that’s our guy.
And that no one would want this job
He pretty much has been the oc in my opinion and he sucks at it and he sucks at qb evaluation. He should be ol coach and that's about it

KF was never an OC in the NFL. Marchibroda was HC and OC. KF was OL and assistant HC.
He explained later that he meant more like a karma for getting all the defensive players back.
I read it the same as you. As if the players would be too expensive, and they couldn’t pay an OC very much.
imagine if the new OC did fix the offense...that would be line 1 on his resume for his next job. It's not curing cancer but I'd guess pretty close in the football sphere.
Maybe they are waiting to hire an athletic director first? Why does that take so long just to promote Beth to the full time AD
Yes, he said it would be the third week of January, but since we have nothing but time on our hands and full of rampant speculation, what if it’s just the opposite? Not a glut of OCs to choose from because of all of the recent resignations and firings, but no one wants the job?
Given there are candidates that are willing to take the job, there are two key factors in completing a hire:
1. Whether or not Kirk Ferentz wants that candidate.
2. The salary Iowa is willing to pay, that the chosen candidate will accept.
Neither of those factors require an athletic director's decision. Kirk will decide who he likes. Entities above the athletic director will determine what budget is available for the hire.
Surely you dont think a nfl asst coach would come to Iowa to be a yes man for Kirk?
He HAS been doing this for awhile now. Not working well.
I don't think any worthwhile offensive coordinator is coming to Iowa to be a yes man to Kirk. They've seen the state of this offense. That would be a dumb move for anyone who isn't looking for more than a paycheck and likely failure.
Have you not read the contract stipulations of Brian's contract with Barta?
He was done as OC for Iowa because the offense was not scoring 25 points per game.
He did well at TE coach and maybe he might have landed back there. I believe Brian possibly would have moved on on his own.
