We still have a couple of names we think are worth examining on the short list, but before we return to the rampant speculation and character assassination here, a few items of interest:
(1) Tom Bradley is in play, according to random internet bro (also, Johnson and Vanderlinden are out).
On Saturday, Tom Bradley was formally terminated at Penn State. He issued an eloquent statement thanking the school and everyone associated with it, and that's that. Larry Johnson Sr. (defensive line coach) and Rob Vanderlinden (linebackers coach) will be retained in their positions. PSU is reportedly hiring Ted Roof as the new defensive coordinator; you might remember Roof as the guy who was coordinating Tim Brewster's defense during 55-0.
No, go ahead. Laugh.
Get it all out of your system. I'll wait here.
You better? OK, back to it.
The fact that Bradley is out isn't shocking. He's been in the football program for more than thirty years and replaced Jerry Sandusky; the scandal took him down. Of course, he's now available, which means we have about three seconds until...
The tweet above has set off a message board wildfire, where one person types "OMG!" and the next types "Sandusky LOL" and then a guy with a well-endowed woman in a photoshopped KOK bikini as his avatar types that he saw Bradley eating slices at the Airliner with Tommy Schutt and then everyone throws poop at each other. It's been awesome.
The information comes from "Sekrah Sports", which is apparently just a guy with a Twitter account who claims to be a Penn State insider and thought Les Miles was going to take the PSU job. This is what we in the business call a discredited source, and the information should be taken with a grain of salt until someone with ties to the Iowa program can corroborate.
There is one interesting aspect to the Bradley situation, though. It's been the assumption of virtually everyone that, should Phil Parker not get the defensive coordinator position, he would not be long for Iowa and could well leave for another position, creating another opening that would need to be filled quickly. I agree with the sentiment (though "not long for Iowa" may mean he leaves in 2012 or 2013), but an opening at defensive backs coach might not be the worst thing in the world should Bradley get the job. Iowa would almost certainly be switching from cover 2 to cover 3, and Bradley's long-time defensive backs coach Kermit Buggs just got a pink slip. Buggs has only been at PSU for four years -- no Sandusky baggage -- and recruits New England and Texas.
(2) We have a better chance at Clay Aiken than we do at Ron Aiken.
There is a small group of fans who are strongly advocating Ron Aiken (profiled here) as the best, most qualified way of expanding on the Norm Parker philosophy. Aiken, it was thought, could convince the rest of the staff to stay, add some NFL nuances to COVER TWO ALL THE DAMN TIME, and improve recruiting in Texas. Plus, Arizona is widely expected to shake up the defensive coaching staff, and Aiken's contract was expiring at the end of the season, so the time would be right.
So much for that contract thing: Aiken signed a new agreement with the Buzzsaw to remain defensive line coach. And that should pretty much do it for the Ron Aiken movement.
(3) Timelinin'!
This week's On Iowa podcast beat me to it, but (believe it or not) there are some timeline issues created by the timing of the position posting. UI Athletics didn't post the defensive coordinator opening until December 28, presumably because they wanted to extend the process so long that I would profile Mike Sherman as a potential successor. The job posting doesn't expire until January 18. The athletic department can apply for a waiver from the time requirements mandated by the state, and they are frequently given (there was a waiver for the McCaffery hire, for instance), but there's been no indication that such a waiver has yet been requested. In fact, Kirk Ferentz might be using the late posting as a rationale for keeping the search open for as long as possible.
The reason why: The American Football Coaches Association convention wraps up tomorrow. Both Ferentz and his staff have been heavily involved in the AFCA for years; Ron Aiken was a member of their executive committee while he was at Iowa, and Norm Parker's receiving their Assistant Coach of the Year award (the presentation is actually tonight, I think). Ferentz is there, his staff is there, and coaches under consideration are surely there. The interviews are taking place in San Antonio right now. If Ferentz returns tomorrow or Thursday, that gives him a weekend to review the candidates and make his decision. Most are expecting news this week, but I'd be surprised if we hear anything before next Tuesday.

So what you're saying is that we're totally getting Tom Bradley!!
Ill Jukes - January 10, 2012
All very rational
but, selecting coaches is more than getting a super talented guy and letting him rip. These coaches work ridiculously long hours side by side. So if O’Brien wants to spend those hours with Ted Roof, who is not a total stiff, that is one of the prerogatives that I believe coaches deserve. If Roof crumbles, then O’Brien will have to take credit for that. But, this is not a Minnesota gig and I hope for PSU’s sake,m O’Brien is not Brewster.
Better men than Ted Roof have been tainted by working under bad leadership. (See Norm Chow at UCLA)
Bradley would be an interesting hire, but not my preferred hire. I would like to see Kirk seek out a guy with some NFL experience and connections. Bradley is KOK in sheep’s clothing to me—a college lifer who’s been riding his HC’s coattails for the better part of his career, and not been on the street trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
"If Roof crumbles" should be "if Roof caves in" for maximum comedic effect
And of course you’re right that they have to coexist, and the head coach sets the standard. But, c’mon. Ted Roof? The guy got fired after winning a national championship, for chrissakes.
Patrick Vint - January 10, 2012
He's clearly doing what a new, first time head coach, often does
hiring guys based on trust, not purely based on ability. They worked together at Duke (it appears). The guy (O’Brien that is) already is made to feel vulnerable. I expect him to hire guys who will protect him and defer to him. So even hiring those two Joe Pa leftovers is impressive. But, personally, I wouldn’t hire anyone else that’s even sniffed that place in his career. Otherwise, you’re a dead man walking.
Et tu, Brute?
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
Oh, he's KFing all over the place
KF’s first staff was old coaching buddies and Hayden retreads (and Norm, who had some serious Hayden blessing). And BOB is doing the same (two holdovers and a bunch of George O’Leary UCF bros), and he probably should.
I’m just saying, the defensive coordinator at Linebacker U just now got the astroturf out of his teeth from when Shonn Greene ran him over three years ago.
Patrick Vint - January 10, 2012
It sounds kind of dumb, but if you want instant in-roads to Florida high schools, and you don’t want to (or can’t) pay huge dollars to lure assistants away from the bigger Florida programs, then this probably isn’t the worst way to go. Even if George O’Leary is a punch-line because of the resume gaffe.
WaterlooChazz - January 10, 2012
BOB worked under O'Leary was the point, I believe...
furthering the point that the coaching hiring technique of a new coach is to often look for guys whose weddings you’ve attended.
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
Georgia Tech is where they all worked together
O’Brien and Roof coached for O’Leary at Tech, then Roof got the HC job at Duke.
There has been some talk of Ralph Friedgen (the OC of those Tech teams) being a possibility for OC at Penn State, which would be a very good hire for them. He is an excellent offensive coord. and teacher of QBs.
H I McDonnough - January 10, 2012
no doubt...
personally, I give BOB (I like that) 4 years. That is just an awful job right now. But I seriously hope I am wrong. I hope he walks into a gig that’s largely been untapped in the latter Joe Pa days. The B1G only benefits from a strong PSU.
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
I agree that BOB likely has a relatively short term at PSU.
Feels like he’ll get 3-5 years to help PSU distance the program from the Sandusky issue before they look for a big time replacement.
The Mexican't - January 10, 2012
Yeah, he cannot have back-to-back Luke Fickle years
and lose key recruits (which he might with Meyer over the border there. The natives will roast him, Sandusky be damned. But, if he does a KF and shows progress for two years then breaks out he might retire there.
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
Well, he'll either be fired or go back to the NFL.
Unless we’re locked into some sort of perpetual mediocrity limbo.
Chris Grovich - January 10, 2012
"Unless we’re locked into some sort of perpetual mediocrity limbo."
No that’s Minnesota, I think.
RossWB - January 10, 2012

chitownhawkeye - January 10, 2012
Mediocrity?
21 years of coaching experiance? A coaching record of 113-61-1!!??
http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2009/6/10/905173/wow-thats-a-really-nice-record-hey
pollo diablo - January 10, 2012
Right.
I think he’s going to have to be head-and-shoulders better than he’s expected to be to retain the job longer than 5 years. Without a BCS-level bowl win, I doubt he does enough to sway public opinion enough to keep him around very long.
The Mexican't - January 10, 2012
I thought all PSU HC contracts
contain a 50 year employment guarantee?
Kluginator - January 10, 2012
I wills ay this. BOB was impressive in his press conference. BTN carried the whole thing, and I was glued to the set.
YouCanPutYourEddsInIt - January 10, 2012
I couldn't stop staring at the dead volcano that is his chin
therealCatnuts - January 10, 2012
For the record, we're collectively warming up to him.
He’s an impressive guy, and as I said in the comments over at BSD, it’s nice to have a head coach talking about his specific expectations and plans.
Chris Grovich - January 10, 2012
What are you talking about?
JoePa was always quite clear: He expected his tapioca at 6:30 in time for Wheel, and he planned on going to bed at 7:45.
Patrick Vint - January 10, 2012
To be perfectly fair
Shonn Greene ran over pretty much everyone that year
Black&Gold.Forever - January 10, 2012
If Roof caves in, he will also have to
take credit forre-shingle it.kythom - January 10, 2012
Right. Because anyone who has stayed in the college game his whole career is just a no-talent hack. Particularly anyone who had the audacity to be loyal to their alma mater.
There are plenty of big-time college programs with coordinators who have been pretty close to career-college-assistants. A guy who fits that description is Norm Parker, and he seemed to turn out pretty decent.
WaterlooChazz - January 10, 2012
Norm was far from riding coattails
when he came to Iowa. What is your point? He was at that football powerhouse, Vanderbilt, before coming to Iowa. Rod Dowhower is not exactly what I would call a guy with long coattails.
StoopsMyAss - January 10, 2012
I wanna hear an argument between Bradley and Charlie Strong.
“My coattail is longer than your coattail!!”
Smokin Herb Grigsby - January 10, 2012
C’mon – that’s not what he said Chazz. Only, who knows how good at the coaching thing Bradley really is, considering he’s been one place. Norm hardly fit that description when he came to Iowa.
txhawkeye - January 10, 2012
To expand on that quote
some guys don’t want to be HC. After SDSU, Chuck Long talked about how as HC you were not only further away from the X’s and O’s and the players but you also had a ton of non-football stuff to deal with.
Tom Bradley, we all assume, was hanging on at PSU because he thought he would replace JoePa. That didn’t happen, now he needs a job. The only way I see him coming to Iowa is if KF says to him “I’m going to retire in a year or two and after that you’ll have a huge foot in the door for my job” and Bradley wants to be HC at Iowa. Both of which seem on the long shot side to me.

Norm Parker's Amputated Toes - January 10, 2012
One guy not on the list who should be considered
is Jim Heacock, formerly Ohio State’s defensive coordinator. It’s not a sexy choice, but Heacock has fielded some of the best defenses in the country over the past decade. He’s also regarded as a decent to great recruiter and he’s an easy personality to work with (he was the 4th longest tenured coach in OSU history and the only coach to span the Cooper-Tressel-Fickell era). His defensive philosophy runs a bit towards the zone coverage/bend but don’t break conservative route, however, and you guys might be sick of that by now.

The name "Tom Bradley" gives me warm fuzzies for inane reasons
For outsiders, Tom Bradley was the last well-liked mayor of Los Angeles, maybe the only well-liked mayor of this century. There’s a ton of stuff named “Tom Bradley xxxxx” there, from freeways to LAX terminals. He may have been the first black mayor of a major city as well. Got elected in 1973, which is no small feat for a black man at that time.
therealCatnuts - January 10, 2012

Patrick Vint - January 10, 2012

And if I were investing a client’s money I’d have to put it on Phil Parker, although like everyone else I’m hoping for Bradley.
Notclevr - January 10, 2012
It's still a strange feeling to be looking at coaching canidates
I have apparently been taking the impossibly low turnover rate under KF for granted. All of the rumors and speculation have made me appreciate the consistency of our coaching staff. I would dislike following a program that goes through this every other off season. Also, the low turnover rate likely speaks to KF as a person and leader.
I’m intrigued by Coach Bradley, but I suspect KF sticks with the loyalty and promotes Parker. I have no well reasoned argument for this, just a gut feeling about KF.

Since when does "they signed a new contract" mean "not coming here?"
Coaches sign new contracts and then take another job all the time. If Ron Aiken were one of multiple candidates for the DC job, he would be an idiot not to accept a new contract from AZ and risk having no job.

According to 1600 AM
This is a complete surprise to all involved…
Caveat though: Those guys on 1600 AM are COMPLETE KF homers…

Yes.
Yes they are. They are better than listening to silence on a drive home from work, but don’t go there looking for great insight or deep discussion on potential problems within the program.

Has anyone actually even heard WHY Coker was suspended?
The only thing I’ve heard, and I don’t have any kind of concrete source (MEANING ALL HEARSAY) is he took another kids exam for him. If that’s the case, the staff has nothing they can do.

I have basically heard the same thing. But I dont know why he would transfer after that.
Unless they forced him too. Just a couple days ago on Facebook he thanked his supporters and said Hawk for Life. Maybe his mom is making him go closer to home.

!!!IF THAT'S THE CASE AND I'M NOT SAYING IT IS!!!
then transferring before they kick him out would be a possible answer.

Pardon the extreme randomness of this question...
Hog fan here. I’ve asked many people before, but nobody has been able to answer my question. So I thought I would just go straight to the source…
What does that little sticker on Iowa’s headgear stand for? It’s on the top of the helmet, and looks like it has a lightning bolt or something similar. I always thought Iowa’s hats were cool, just noticed this little oddity a couple years ago and was curious.
Thanks for the info.
