Good luck to KOK. As for his replacement … I have zero idea of who Kirk may look at. Honestly, I don’t think it will matter much other than if the person is a good recruiter. This is still Kirk/Brian’s offense.

Yeah, all this position is is someone who can teach the QBs the offense and recruit.Good luck to KOK. As for his replacement … I have zero idea of who Kirk may look at. Honestly, I don’t think it will matter much other than if the person is a good recruiter. This is still Kirk/Brian’s offense.
What I think is funny is that people think this is going to change the offense.

Yeah that's probably true, we don't need to add any more fuel to the fire re: the offense and QB, we have more than enough. Now, if Tony WAS interested and hired and either Padilla or Labas wins the job, then perhaps it could work. I just think a young, talented QB coach who relates well to players and has some recruiting ties would be nice. That said you know how this works, 51% of the board won't be happy with the hire...Seems like it would be a dicey situation bringing in Petras's QB coach. If Petras ends up starting it is just going to look like he was playing favorites.
Except he has coached QBs and he was a QB.

Yes, his name will be Steve Ferentz.Does Kirk and staff have a candidate already? Who might you all suggest?
Was Kelton Copeland a QB? Did he assist Rick Neuheisel in coaching QBs? Did he assist Kingsubry in coaching QBs?

He might have coached QBs for one season. Nearly all of his work has been with WRs. If we are looking for a former QB why not kelton Copeland?
Copeland was a qb and the last time Raih might have worked with a qb was nearly 10 years ago. It was probably very little work since he was not even full time at that position.Was Kelton Copeland a QB? Did he assist Rick Neuheisel in coaching QBs? Did he assist Kingsubry in coaching QBs?
What sort of revisionist history is this?lol Brian is like Teflon.
Iowa, known as OLine U, struggles at OL for the first time in the Ferentz era with Brian as OL coach. Brian gets promoted and Kirk doubles his pay.
National racism/bullying scandal with multiple accusers directly implicating Brian. Ferentz fires the nation's most well respected and highest paid strength coach. Brian gets no discipline at all and receives a raise.
Offense absolutely sputters to one of the worst in the Ferentz era, ranking 124th nationally, sparked some incredibly bad play calling. QBs coach resigns. Brian gets another raise.
Failing upward never hit a team so hard.
Well, then I would have no problem with it.Copeland was a qb and the last time Raih might have worked with a qb was nearly 10 years ago. It was probably very little work since he was not even full time at that position.
Kelton was a former QB. When I first learned of Ken's departure ... that was my first thought. However, the problem with that is two-fold ... one, I still love how he's been building our WR-room and two, might that NOT potentially be a demotion? It may not be though ... particularly given that we expect our QB coach to train the guys in the room to be "coaches on the field."Was Kelton Copeland a QB?

Yeah it would be hard to move him away from WR.Kelton was a former QB. When I first learned of Ken's departure ... that was my first thought.

It may not be though ... particularly given that we expect our QB coach to train the guys in the room to be "coaches on the field."
While it helps to have the QB-coach be a former QB ... just as important is that the guy knows how to teach it to the guys in the room. Furthermore, the guy needs to be able to mesh well with the rest of the staff and understand the working of our style of O. A big part of the position will be to build the football IQ of the guys in the room ... get them to understand our schemes and to be able to not only read the D ... but understand what the D is attempting to accomplish (and how they'll attempt to accomplish it).
Moon Family sponsors Kirk and helps to pay his salary. They expect X number of mentions in media exposure in return. This was put out by the P.R. department.1. He's "stepping down" but Iowa will honor his contract? I have a hard time believing this. If he left on his own Iowa is doing something I've never seen in my professional career; maybe it happens in sports and I've just missed it.
2. Why does it state "Moon family head football coach Kirk Ferentz" and not Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz? Are we now the Moon Family Hawkeyes?
Advisor at Alabama prior to this year meant that their kid had potential to be a player.I assume he will be an “advisor”. I think he definitely brings value in that role- hell Alabama has mor advisors than coaches
March 23.Would be nice to have the new QB coach in for spring drills and practice, which starts when? Agreed, I think Kirk and staff have a short list they've probably been working/looking at for a short time when KoK announced internally he was thinking of leaving.
Yeah, if I remember right this seems to be about the time, maybe a little later, that Foster and Tim P left last year and they got coaches in time for Spring.Would be nice to have the new QB coach in for spring drills and practice, which starts when?

agreed, there’s roughly a month before spring ball starts. I fully expect to have this position filled by then. Especially with an open competition at QB looming.Yeah, if I remember right this seems to be about the time, maybe a little later, that Foster and Tim P left last year and they got coaches in time for Spring.
That being said, Kirk is still the head coach.i like kok but that said
I see that you're as bat-sh*t crazy as ever.Nope, in my 50s and retired and use the word dunce when it applies. You are likely too young to have heard the word before? Jim Caldwell has achieved far more than you ever will and a first class man so stop trying to dump on him. Get back to focusing on KF bouncing you on his knee as you hope.
Learn to take it in stride dude. You made a dumb/silly post not thinking of KFs age himself and I was just was making fun of it. Then, as usual, you came unhinged.I see that you're as bat-sh*t crazy as ever.
I have not made one comment worthy of your 1980s insults. If anything, YOU'RE the one who is slow to learn and understand.
Stating Caldwell's age is not a dump on him, it's a fact. He's had a solid coaching career, but not someone who is going to excite recruits and modernize the passing game. The only reason an out-of-work guy in his late 60s is being mentioned is because of his Iowa ties. He wouldn't be a candidate for QB coach at any other mid-upper level P-5 program unless they had a young HC and OC and wanted his experience. Iowa needs a guy to come in who is going to offset the issues Iowa has with an aging head coach and poorly-credentialed OC. The other older head coaches mentioned in this thread as some kind of counter to the age issue (Belichick, Arians, Saban, etc) don't have many assistants in their late 60s - they have younger coaching staffs, because they realize that's what is needed.
Not a bad choice. I think he was on Coe's staff last fall. Definitely wants to be in coaching.My vote would be for Marvin McNutt. Was recruited as a QB (so he's played the position) and then obviously went on to become one of the most prolific wide receivers in program history. Very charismatic guy who would be an ace recruiter and understand the full dynamics of the passing game. Not just what the QB needs to know and do, but what his receivers are expecting out of him. Being a black man also helps with the image problem of the Iowa coaching staff. Also, he was the head coach of an Indoor Football League team. They sucked the year he coached, but he has coaching experience nonetheless.
There's a ferentz or family member that will report to "the shoe guy" for nepotism reasons...James Ferentz the new QB coach?
Never said they were. The only reason the guy said he didnt want Caldwell was because of age. If thats the case would he not want Arians/ Bellichick because they were too old?I didn’t realize that any current NFL head coaches with Super Bowl wins were serious candidates. How about Belichick then?
Advisor at Alabama prior to this year meant that their kid had potential to be a player.
This. He was ready. His family was more than ready.JFC he is 68. Maybe it is just time. Most people die in their 70s and early 80s.
