I don’t think so…

Doubtful but you never know I guess.

I am guessing he retires when KF hangs it up. The only way he might keep going is if Iowa's next HC is an internal hire like SW or LW.

I think Phil and Kirk are tied at the hip until Kirk retires.

I can’t imagine his style of basically prevent defense is something schools with elite talent are going to be looking for.

100% no. Phil wants to coach and develop talent. More specifically, guys that want to learn and improve. He doesn’t want to cater to entitled, self labeled superstars.

Off season pot stirring. Made me look, so it worked.

 

[Rifler]

I'd be very surprised,.. If Phil wanted to expand his resume I think he would have done it long ago.

Dude was happy just being the DB coach for Toledo. Had to be talked into taking the Iowa DB job. Doesn't seem like one to go chasing higher pay or titles.

If the hire is internal it will be either SW or Lester who already has HC experience

I know many fans of teams that don't attract the top talent would like to believe this, but you don't win titles with 'entitled self labeled superstars'. OSU players worked hard to achieve their success.

I would be surprised if it was Lester. Not saying he would be a terrible choice, I would just be surprised.

Know what happens when you have talent that is motivated….

35-7
42-0

OSU guys work just as hard as anyone else. Don’t believe the lie

I don't know about that. I know it's the pro's but Fangio at PHI uses a basic 4 man rush with 7 man zone on the back end and it works when you have elite talent. At the college level I can see OSU playing that with the occasional blitz. I know college vs pro's but the concept does work.

They worked so hard they won a NC.

Um, yes you do. But, Phil Parker won’t cater to male divas. And that’s exactly what exists at a school like Ohio State. Coaches at Ohio State are 30% get in your ass coaches and 70% game managers. It’s the opposite at Iowa.

If Phil had an elite pass rush with the way his back 7 plays various coverages they would be awesome

You might believe this but I don't. They came in with natural talent and maybe improved it just a little. Any time you're a 5 start athlete you're way ahead of the curve. You give me 30 / 5 start athletes I'll take my chances. Especially at qb and wide receiver. You see where Iowa was with Hill. Even though he probably worked hard. Do you think C Clark worked harder than any other top athlete? She of course had to work hard her whole life but she was gifted.....JMO

Only if he wants to win a NC.
