When the Transfer Portal Opens - Iowa Will have NO Offensive Coordinator & NO QBs Coach

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me a 5***** transfer portal quarterback from high octane Oregon chose to turn down the opportunity to come to Iowa, which has had 4 months to find either an offensive coordinator or a QBs coach and failed to do so? No way.
I thought for sure it would have sweetened the pot for him to know that Iowa had the worst WR room in all of college football, but its top two receivers have left the program and have not been replaced by a single WR from the portal? And its top two underclassmen WRs the year before also transferred out of the program? Hard to believe.
Mark my words, Kirk's 4 month bungling of the offensive coordinator position while every other school was proactively out there improving their offenses is going to impact Iowa not just next year but for years to come.

For offs, Ryan at Ohio State replaces his offensive coordinator and wants him to hire his own assistant coaches. What a concept.
So it took Alabama 2 days to find a replacement for the greatest coach of all-time. Yet Kirk can't find someone in 3 months to replace the worst offensive coordinator in college football...with nearly an unlimited budget following a 10 win season.
Make this make sense.

@IowasLaw The only thing that KF's delay is hurting is your ability to b*tch and whine about the person he hires. I can see the post title now "IowasLaw top 5 reasons the new OC at Iowa is a bum!". I'm sorry Kirk is cramping your style, just have some patience, you'll have plenty of time to tear down Iowa's hire soon enough.
Yeah but look at the terrible job Norm Parker did getting Sam LaPorta ready for the next level.
Hiring coaches, like offense, is "complicated" for Kirk.
Alabama had a new coaching staff hired in 2 days. Washington had their staff poached and had a new one in place in 24 hours. Today, Arizona managed to replace their outgoing super star coach 24 hours after he left for Washington.
I'm sorry but this isn't rocket science. Iowa is coming off a 10 win season and pays more than the vast majority of schools. Chryst either wasn't interested or didn't want to wait months for Kirk to vacillate. Clearly the other candidates (and there weren't many, considering Kirk was clear that he had only made "3 calls regarding the OC position" as of last month) decided it wasn't worth the headaches to make $1M coaching Iowa's offense under Kirk.
It's coaching malpractice to stall for 3 months and still not have an OC or QB coach in place. The portal has already opened and closed. Classes have started. The new OC isn't being given a fair chance to bring in his own guys.

If you are so stupid to think HC is the same as OC you are even dumber than I thought. When your HC leaves you have 30 days where players can leave to the portal. If you have no HC in place the players would be more inclined to jump in the portal. How many have left Iowa because we don't have an OC?
Different animals. Players can transfer with no loss of eligibility when there is a change at HC. Those schools are fighting off recruit loss, or a reactivated portal/exemption.
Very few, which is an issue.
Let’s get some guys to hit the road so we can swoop some actual talent from the portal. This, of course, would be easier if we had a name & face to go with the title Offensive Coordinator.
Sure would be nice to have a WR coach too. But you know what…f**k the offense.

Yikes - it's now 1/25/24 and there has not been a single confirmed interview of anyone for the OC, WR coach, or QBs coach position. Fans can shrug and say "oh I'm sure Kirk is pounding the pavement and doing everything a CEO can do to bring in the best staff," but that's wishful thinking. Not one confirmed interview...not even Paul Cryst. Whether Kirk is hush hush or not, word gets out quickly in this day and age when someone actually interviews for a Big 10 position.
