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.
