Tough to envision KF selecting anyone other than Parker...I don't think his loyalty will allow him to select anyone else. Too risky...

[hogeye]

I guarantee you it isn't Parker unless about 10 other names fall through. You don't wait this long to announce that you're promoting from within.

[PeoriaHWKI]

You are correct.
Woods will be DL as expected.
And BF will be new OL....

fine by me!

At this point, there's just no way it's Parker. Or we could've had ten threads by now analyzing and *****ing about it.

I've met her several times. She'd kick butt and take names. Our D Line wouldn't have been gassed if she were in charge, I'll tell you that.

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

that would be a good story for Super Bowl week. B. Ferentz vs. Hermann, soon to be working together. I wonder if they each know about the other. anyone see them charting together this week in Indy ? lol.

[seepig]

As I recall Herman's Defenses at Michigan were NOT at the top of the conference, but having said that he has some great experience and tenure as a head DC under his belt. Maybe he learned a thing or two coaching LBs in the Pros. I still find it hard to believe KF punts on Phil Parker...I just can't see that happening.

Looks like this is a source I can trust.

Well, I guess not. Won't believe that guy again. SMH.

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

dude, did you just reference yourself in a double quote twice? you realize what that says about yourself, don't you?

dont answer those, they are just retorrical questions.

[rodg12]

LOL. Was just exacting some self-pwnage since I was dumb enough to believe my source in the first place. Never again...

[hogeye]

I was largely basing my anti-Parker opinion on the longevity of the announcement. I still think that he wasn't option 1a, but regardless I was wrong. I can live with that. I've been wrong before...I think.

I now believe that Parker was alway 1a, and it was gonna take someone to blow KF away to unseat him. I think KF looked around, probably interview candidates, and at the end of the day Parker was still the best candidate in his mind. This is just my option, I have no "source" or anything like that.

It could be, I won't argue that. Kirk is a loyalist. There is definitely a valid argument to be made that he had his mind made up for some time and that the vetting process was more of a dog and pony show.

Hey! I've set up a dog and pony show before, and it was a real meat grinder!
