I hope the Iowa coaching change comes after Saturday. I hope their defense just falls apart and we thrash them like they did us before. 70-0 .. so their AD tells their coach either you fire your son as OC or we fire you both with KF refusing and both get
canned out of their on Sunday. lolI agree, I doubt he wants to keep moving his kids around and would love to settle down in a place where he can be successful. Plus, he has a great boss who will take care of him. Whitman will do what it takes to keep quality coaches.

It will only last 3 years then he'll come back?
Lol. Bingo....but naw just that he will want his son to be named and Iowa brass and fans will want to go in a different direction and it will cause some friction.

It's funny how much the Iowa fans hate Ferentz. It's gone on so long that there's not even really any football content to it anymore, he meets their expectations, they're just sick to death of him.

10-4
He survived 2020 player racial bias accusations
We will see how he adjusts to NIL and transfer portal. Does not seem to be an issue yet.
I am sure Iowa fans are not excited about promoting his son who is OC for worst ranked offense in the B10

But what about Bill O'brien?

He's been very prominent in the coaching profession in a number of different high profile jobs college and pro for over a decade now, and I still have no particular impression of him and am not sure if he's any good or not. Kind of extraordinary in a way.
O'Brien was mediocre in 2 years at Penn State (8-4, 7-5) under difficult circumstances.
He was NFL HC with good success for 7 years in Houston (made playoffs 4x).
Age 52
Currently OC at Alabama. Hard to fail with that kind of talent although they tried vs. Texas.
No idea if he is a good recruiter or could build a good college staff.
I think Wisconsin or Nebraska would love to get him. Probably very expensive. Maybe $8m/year for 8 years.
Nebraska got burnt going NFL by Bill Callahan (former Raider HC). He was 5-6, 8-4, 9-5 and 5-7. Of course Lovie makes Callahan look like superman.
JMO - I think they go college route not NFL. Money is no object.
I suspect they will call Urban Meyer then everybody on the top 25 list.
Personally I would make Luke Fickell say no to doubling his pay. $80M for 8 years and a $4M/year NIL pool. T
he B10 TV payout will approach $100m per year in next contract so every B10 school will have plenty of money. Of course I am sure we will jumping channels - fox, cbs, nbc, b10 - then by end of contract Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

A great example of what BB was talking about in his recent interview. Everything they do is connected. And in order to be successful, they can't ignore any part of the whole. It's hard to win, and it's really hard to win consistently.

"CEO coach" used to be said pejoratively, but that's increasingly the core of the job description.
It fits well with the Hayden Fry philosophy where the #1 job of the head man is to be a coach of his coaches. It's crystal clear how much that rubbed off on Bielema.
Lovie staffed up our recruiting operation massively, which continues to be a benefit to the program and which performed rather well even then when you consider how little help they were getting from their head coach.
It's not revisionist Lovie apologia, it's just a fact: Bielema isn't building, he's fixing. It's a different sort of task than previous administrations faced. Not necessarily easier either, just an interesting reality.

I'm not saying Wisconsin did a fine job hosting Rolder but the timeline presented in this Athletic article on Chryst and their Rolder recruitment (and Rolder's rise) does not hold up to memory and the 24/7 timeline of his offers.

I don't think Neon Deion improved his chances of a BIG TIME COACH spot, after that childish press conference after the Jackson State Victory.

'He ain't SWAC:' Robinson snubs Deion 'bro hug'
Alabama State coach Eddie Robinson Jr. took Jackson State coach Deion Sanders' hand following Alabama State's 26-12 loss to Jackson State, but wanted no part of an embrace with Sanders, instead shoving him with his left hand as he walked away.
Of course, Deion is going to be fiery. Of course, there's going to be showmanship. This is who he is and what he brings to the table. What he also brings to the table is excellent recruiting and winning.

I think Sanders is the only cornerback in the history of the NFL that made the Hall of Fame without ever making a tackle........I read that somewhere , sometime ago...........At least , i think I did........maybe I just made it up ........maybe I'm dreaming right now as I'm typing this post......I read the article and watched the video. I don't think he hurt his chances at all. To me, it seems like sour grapes by Alabama State's coach. I think Deion is totally justified in being upset that another coach said he "wasn't SWAC." That is one incredibly loaded statement.'He ain't SWAC:' Robinson snubs Deion 'bro hug'

I'm sorry, I can't help myself. Do you know who would be a lot better fit for LSU than Brian Kelly? Deion. Deion could recruit the absolute heck out of Louisiana, LSU would pay the money for him to get top assistants to help him win, and he wouldn't fake an accent to try and make it work.

Unbelievable that in his 3rd year at Miss St Leach already has them as a SEC contender outside of Bama/ Tennessee
Easily one of the most underrated coaches in college football
19 bowl appearances in 21 seasons, won at 2 difficult programs in Texas tech and Wash St and now turning Miss St around
