This poll is, who will be the next Iowa football coach. I am not so sure Kirk will be around next year. He is 68. I don't think son Brian is in the running, but we don't know, without a poll.

BERT

that would be my vote if it was available

Bobby played there in the 80's and broke into coaching there, but hasn't been there since 87 and the old guy is 63.  He could get a better gig if he wanted one.

Mark Stoops?  same as Bobby.  It's been a while since he's been there.  Stoops is the all-time winningest head coach in the history of the Kentucky Wildcats football program.  and probably gets paid better than Kirk.  Easier to recruit to Kentucky.

Bert?  Why leave Illinois for Iowa??  Better recruiting?  not by much.  Better money?  not by much.

It obviously won't be Brian.

I voted for Phil, but I'm not sure he wants the job.
He might sign a contract for the money at his age of 60. only making $600K this season.

I would like to see Phil Parker get a chance but I did not vote for him. He just turned 60 years old.  People say he is not interested in being a head coach, which I think is BS.  Do you seriously think he would turn it down if offered?.  But he won't be offered the job.

I also did not vote for Brian Ferentz.  I think at one time Kirk had a plan to groom Brian to be the next head coach, but I think that ship has sailed.  Making Brian both the OC and QB coach in 2022 has been a complete disaster.  There is no way Brian will ever be the head coach for Iowa.  No way ever.

I think if Iowa does promote internally,  they would probably go with Iowa special teams coach LeVar Woods.  Woods would be good for recruiting in the NIL era.  And he has a good mix of experience.

I have strong doubts that Brian Ferentz will coach anything, anywhere. Maybe some school will let him coach OL. Nothing more than that.

As long as Bill Belicheck is around,  Brian Ferentz can probably get an assistant job in the NFL.  That's most likely his destiny now,  to be an OL coach in the NFL.

But yeah, as far as head coaching jobs, I can't see any FBS school hiring him,  not even the MAC.  Even a head job at a FCS school might be a stretch.

Brian Ferentz as a head coach?  What would be the up side?
