He was at Wyoming for about a week. He’s already at Vandy.
Polasek gone
- Thread starter StormHawk42
- Start date
The guy who got the Montana state job over him was the Wyoming OC so probably a step up.
Could this be a "we are not going to let you go but I suggest you look around" kinda deals?
I think Matt Campbell would be a quality hire as our Oline coach, would be a significant promotion for him but i think he's earned it.
Polesek came from a winning culture at NDSU and was starting to really make strides on the recruiting front. Huge loss IMO.
Wow. You already seen his contract?
What will Wyoming's football assistants be paid in 2020?
Four coaches, including longtime defensive assistant Pete Kaligis, receive raises.
He was scheduled to make 440-450k this year at Iowa. I'm not going out on a limb suggesting it will be a 100k dollar difference.
It’s a move up in title but still a lateral move. KF will attract good staff. He needs younger, good, ambitious coaches.
Anybody hired as an OL coach by KF and has success will be a made man in the industry.
And as for RB coaching candidates all you have to say is the last guy here kicked butt and the NFL came and found him in 3 years.
Bell, Copeland, Foster, Polasek injected a lot of needed energy into the program. There’s plenty of young coaches out there we’ve never heard of - I trust KF will find some

Thanks, Doug. Looks like we might as well shut the program down. A guy left for a better job to move up the ladder. It’s over. Later, dudes.
Davis was a dud, but he had a good resume before he came to Iowa.
The people of Texas gave us fair warning with GDGD.
They, not us, are the originators of "GDGD".
This kind of money every year is life changing.

This year was already a turning point for us, but if Polasek and Foster are really gone, it may be even moreso. We not only need good coaches and energetic recruiters with ties to regions with untapped football talent and who understand the positive aspects of the Iowa culture, we also need guys who will buy into the changes being made in the football program and help drive that forward.
We need special coaches, tbh. There's also a lot of opportunity if we can find them.

Assistant coaches at all the big time programs move around all the time. Some programs even change their OC and DC like my wife changes shoes. They never seem to suffer too much. An asst at Iowa moving just means next man in. Let's just hope it's a good man. But hardly a reason to scream the sky is falling, Chicken Little.
This x 1000
Why? What is his track record as a RB coach and what/where are his recruiting connections and track record?
Glad the OL recruits from class of ‘21 have signed, just in case this would have been a factor impacting their decision.
Polasek came to Iowa with zero OL coaching experience and did well while getting better and better each year. Sure it shows Polasek was good but to me it demonstrates that the program will always have a solid OL coach with KF at the helm. I would have liked the continuity provided by Polasek but am not worried for this position in the least.
Better yet, no 60 yr old white guy. We need a black dude that can recruit.
Actually Weisman appears to be a very smart, hard working, and driven guy. I don't know if his personality is recruiting oriented, but if so, he looks like an excellent young coaching prospect,
but probably not for these spots at this time.
If Iowa doesn't develop a path for him, I won't be surprised if Doyle pulls him away.
Polasek went to Wyoming to be in line for the HC job in a few years. Mark it down.
I know he’s a head coach at a school in Florida. Not sure if he has any college coaching experience at all.
Seems like Mike Goff would be a pretty great hire. He’s doing good things for the o line at Western Kentucky.
This is a positive for Iowa. For a long time people were bitching about nobody wanting our assistants, and now we're losing two of them who were obviously somewhat sought after. Both were great coaches and will be missed, but I think it's a sign we're on the up and up with our assistant hires again. Good for Tim.
I forgot he was coaching! Glad he's doing well. Devlin is doing well in the NFL too it seems.
Of course it’s up. Not a higher level of play but from an o line coach to a coordinator. Doubtful a guy ever gets a head job without being a coordinator somewhere. Only you couldn’t figure that out because you want to bitch about everything our FB team and bball team do.
Anyone else find it odd that for 2021, Wallace will make $120,000 more per year than Woods, and Niemann $60,000 more than Foster? Not a good look for our athletic department in my opinion.
It’s okay to have that opinion. Nobody should force you to not be impulsive in your thoughts.
I'll say Mike Goff. He went to high school in Illinois, played at Iowa in the 90s, spent some time in the NFL. He also coached offensive line at Western Kentucky the last two years and they had high marks in PFF for the offensive line the last two years. The major reason him and the school seemed to have parted ways is the new offensive coordinator there runs a more uptempo style, something Iowa won't do. I think looking at his ties to Iowa and recent success coaching oline he may be a good fit.
Woods has been part of the staff since 2008. His pay level sticks out in comparison to other staff members in my opinion. If you want to classify that as impulsive...go ahead.
Not really relevant to this conversation, but since you're being snarky again, tell me where our current HC
was ever a coordinator. And yes, I know, that's part of his problem.
