USC fans are starting to chirp about wanting Phil Parker as their next DC, and thinking they can get him. Wanting USC to back up the Brinks truck to his house in Iowa City. All I can say is…
USC coming after Parker??

if kirk retires it would be worrisome
It would make sense.USC fans are starting to chirp about wanting Phil Parker as their next DC, and thinking they can get him. Wanting USC to back up the Brinks truck to his house in Iowa City. All I can say is…
LoL. Phil in LA. He ain’t going nowhere near that cesspool.
If Kirk retired, I'd guess Phil would too. If he wanted to keep coaching I'd guess he would be watching who MSU hires.
He’s 60 years old and honestly at the peak of his game. Why in the world would he retire because Kirk retires? Is he the only coach he can coach with?
Not worried but it would be funny to see KF and BF's faces the second they found out they no longer had Uncle Phil to bail them out all season.
He sure seems to be tied to Kirk. If I had the money to retire at 60 comfortably I sure would have. He hasn't seemed interested in HC opportunities so I certainly wouldn't be shocked if they retired at the same time.
Don't you think we'd match whatever pay USC offers? Losing Parker would be far worse than losing Ferentz.
would any of the USC players even be tough enough to play in his system? Do they have the patience for him to get the players to fit his system?
So I could be wrong and maybe he is. I’m just saying if you are the best in the entire country at your job and people were lining up to hire you if Kirk retires at the end of the year, why quit? 60 isn’t old. The guy has 6-8-10 years left in him easily if he wants to. He could go anywhere or if he wanted to stay loyal to Iowa and the new coach I’m sure we’d sure like to keep him! Phil doesn’t seem like a guy who’s going to run off to the Florida keys.
Seriously doubt he’s looking for a change of scenery at this stage
agreed and also not looking for a HC job.
Imagine if KF would of had an offense, how much more that would have help Parkers defense. Parker has never had any help
It wouldn't be the first time USC raided Iowa. (Howard Jones)
Phil's not going anywhere. End of thread.
That is what I first thought and I wonder if PhilP thinks he can get the kind of hard hitting players he needs out there
Even if he were to leave (which is doubtful), I’d assume Seth Wallace would be the heir apparent and there wouldn’t be a huge drop-off
He should pull a Kirk. Hint at leaving and get the big payday from Iowa.
No chance in hell. Yeah, everybody would love to employ Phil, because he's THE Shit! He ain't going anywhere though and it certainly wouldn't be USC of all places.
Phil Parker needs to be the highest paid DC in college football.

SoCal and Phil Parker go together like peanut butter and sauerkraut.
I don't think he'd leave. But he's also never really had the opportunity to be a national champion either. A lucrative deal to take one last shot with a team that was basically a dynasty in recent years and could be again if he was a successful building a defense? Then retire richer win or lose?
Pretty serious loyalty to not even consider that.

While I don’t think he would ever take the job you’re crazy if you don’t think he’d have them as a top 15-20 defense in 3 years. He’s the best. Look what he’s been able to do with our 3 star guys. If he was getting 4 star guys out there it would be scary.
based on today, with help from the offense we could’ve enjoyed a lot more shutouts the last few years
Today was a perfect example of how Kirk's model is supposed to work. The O was solid but not sexy. Controlled the LOS, didn't turn the ball over (except for that horrible Hill fart) and ran the ball well. Never gave the other team a chance to get into a rhythm.
You mean the type of loyalty that gets you > 1.2 million for the next 7 years, or the type that gets you 3 million for next year?
One year at what would become Duke, then to USC, and also eventually took Iowa's legendary QB Aubrey Devine along as an assistant coach.
That’s why Kirk is the perfect coach to lead Iowa with the transition of the PAC12 teams.
He’ll beat them as much if not more than those 4 schools beat us the next 5 years.
