You dont even know who was interviewed and who the candidates were

Also, if you could answer my question on why waiting was a bad thing I would appreciate it

To be fair, a good 60% of the posts are people theorizing about how other people are going to meltdown and what the temperature of said meltdown is going to be. It's getting to the point that that word should be starred out just like any profanity.

Re: The PR of this hiring is what is most potentially disappointing to me

Ferentz wasn't about to hire anyone outside the program. His loyalty and friendship over rides the Iowa program. Parker had the job the instant Norm retired...done deal. Ferentz had to go through the motions on this one...throw out a few names to make it look legit. Friendship over rides everything with Ferentz...everything. Why would any fan be upset? This is Ferentz's forte, always has, always will...Too risky to do anything else...

Re: The PR of this hiring is what is most potentially disappointing to me

True, it might have been Parker's job all along and no one else was interviewed.

Why is it bad for waiting......upset your fan base even more with a letdown hire. That is why. Another PR knock to the program. Wait 2 months when you know all along......if that is the case.

If Parker truly was the best for the job out of all who applied, well then kudos to Kirk for doing a thoughtful job.

I doubt this is the case though. On speculation, my guess would be Parker was the fall back guy because something did not work out with another applicant or Parker was the choice all along.

Yes, and he had nothing better to do than stage an elaborate scheme in order to throw message board fans off the scent. Good thing NMH had the brain power to see through Kurt's ploy.

The brilliance of his plan was its simplicity.

Kurt needs to know that we are on to him. He knows that his job is to track everything we say and then try to make us happy, and now we know it too. Thanks for being so out of touch Kurt. Can't wait for your loser son to be another yes man.

Re: The PR of this hiring is what is most potentially disappointing to me

Told everyone over a month ago that KF would keep pushing things back until he got the media and fans into a complete frenzy and then do what he could have done 3 months ago just to frustrate everyone as much as possible.

Dude is probably rolling on the floor right now. Bet he got on the Interwebs and started half the rumors. Heck, I bet he tweets under a false name!

Crazy Like A Fox! The ultimate chain jerker!

Where Kurt fails as a football coach, he excels as a troll.

You can't help but respect it.

No Doubt: The Troll Master! Actually, maybe he is Troll Puppet Master. He finds the most easily influenced and plays his mind games on them so that the end up Tweeting things like, "Was just told ... Is going to be..."

Masterful!

Most of you forget..."IOWA has no sizzle" according to our coach!

Why would anyone expect different from Ferentz?

He's the new Andy Kaufman. Only the most enlightened get the joke. He just makes everyone else frustrated to furious.

If you believed...

He is obsessed with upsetting message board posters!
