I’m Assuming the new OC will handle QB coach. So outside of the program who would be a good hire to WR coach? What do you guys think?

Wonder who his guy would be. Presuming johns is the guy, I can’t find anyone he would bring with him. John Simon is only guy I could imagine and he’s an OC at grambling state. Zhon Burden stayed at Duke, he is a phenomenal WR coach. Will be interesting to see what happensMarvin McNutt but probably OC will bring in his guy.
We went MAC for our OC.So now that we have our OC, also a QB guy, I would guess we get a WR coach. If ferentz promotes Budmyr I will be disgusted, so let’s throw out that option. Any idea on Lester’s coaching staffs that might have a decent WR coach? He has several good wideouts at Western Michigan.
Think Budmayr was promoted to WR coachSo now that we have our OC, also a QB guy, I would guess we get a WR coach. If ferentz promotes Budmyr I will be disgusted, so let’s throw out that option.

If the OC is the also the QB coach, then that "should" mean JB gets the axe and frees up some money to get a really good WR coach\RECRUITER!I’m Assuming the new OC will handle QB coach. So outside of the program who would be a good hire to WR coach? What do you guys think?
I don't think lack of specific positional experience is as important outside of the QB room. I mean, Hodge seems to be doing OK as TE/FB coach, even though he was a linebacker. Back in the day, Chuck Long got his start in coaching as a DB coach, despite having played QB throughout his career.Nothing says improve the WR room like sending Jon Boy into a WRs recruits home with His wealth of playing time and Coaching experience at the WR position , 5 Star WRs will be flocking to Kinnick .
Iowa and it's offense have more than the normal number of hurdles to overcome, getting a experienced WR Coach preferably who has played the position I think would be the move to make as opposed to wonder Boy. But that is just Me, I understand Coaching crossovers can work like Hodge but Hodge as a LB interacted with the TE position often on the field and I would say LBs and safeties probably understand the TE position well since it is a big responsibility to defend . Same with QB and DBs ect. I think most will feel like us that Iowa should bring in the WR Coach from outside the ProgramI don't think lack of specific positional experience is as important outside of the QB room.

That said, I think hiring Bud for the WR position would be a missed opportunity. With the open spot, you have a chance to bring in some new blood and some new ideas. You have a chance to bring in a strong recruiter, and to help keep the staff diverse.
If KF thinks Bud is doing a good job, fine -- keep him at his current position. He's certainly is making good money there. But use the open position to hire another good coach.
Umm yes, it is. Especially considering how awful our WR room is season after season.I don't think lack of specific positional experience is as important outside of the QB room.

Abdul Hodge is coaching the TEs and FBsUmm yes, it is. Especially considering how awful our WR room is season after season.
Good lord - you’d think Kirk would know he should hire a once-accomplished receiver to coach that position group.
Hire guys that have a specialty, then (genius thought incoming..) have them teach their goddamn specialty.
So fire Hodge too?Umm yes, it is. Especially considering how awful our WR room is season after season.

I’m aware of that.Abdul Hodge is coaching the TEs and FBs
You goofs seriously don’t understand how badly we need to have some WRs that play decent P5 football?So fire Hodge too?
No kidding.....just dumbNothing says improve the WR room like sending Jon Boy into a WRs recruits home with His wealth of playing time and Coaching experience at the WR position , 5 Star WRs will be flocking to Kinnick .
I agree that in Iowa's specific case, a coach with specific experience coaching WRs would be beneficial.You goofs seriously don’t understand how badly we need to have some WRs that play decent P5 football?
You don’t get that a real WR coach would likely be very, very beneficial for the jokers we call the wide receivers? Give me a break. They need legitimate instruction.
Yes, seems we mostly agree.I agree that in Iowa's specific case, a coach with specific experience coaching WRs would be beneficial.
I was just speaking that in general terms, guys who have most of their experience in one area can still be competent in another area.
But I also noted that Iowa would be missing an opportunity if they hire Bud as WR coach, for a number of reasons. In no way was I advocating for that move.
I think we mostly agree on this, no?
You're talking about gods gift. Kirk's not going to get rid of him.If the OC is the also the QB coach, then that "should" mean JB gets the axe and frees up some money to get a really good WR coach\RECRUITER!
