Chryst was offered, and turned down the job of offensive coordinator, per the Des Moines Register's anonymous sourcing. Also, Joe Philbin, and UNLV OC Brennan Marion, will not be taking the job.
I haven't seen any other names mentioned as being under consideration by Kirk Ferentz.
I thought Paul Chryst would fit, and this would be a promotion for him from serving as an "analyst" at Texas.
If Chryst had taken the Iowa OC job, and if he were successful, there would have been a chance at further promotion in Iowa City given Kirk Ferentz's age. Chryst must view the Iowa OC job as being a very poor fit for himself, which could tell us how irrecoverable the condition of the offense is at Iowa.
