Speaking of Iowa, I am surprised Phil Parker hasn’t been getting more chatter as a HC . I understand that age is a factor but at 59 he can still fall into that window. He always has more of the most solid defenses in the country year after year.He always has more of the most solid defenses in the country year after year

If you saw the husker locker room afterwards, the players are behind Mick. That celebration was great!

Happy for them and I hope it works out, but call me when Mickey has us win out save a reasonable loss to Michigan. Then I'd say yeah let's go all in.

I don't think Parker wants to be a head coach, he likes where he's at. Ferentz is untouchable for now, but he better bribe somebody to hire Brian away. I don't think Kirk would fire him, but if he doesn't he might not end up untouchable for much longer.

It really is a similar situation isn't it?

We might offer our hindsight to warn Wisconsin of what might lie ahead, but on the other hand we should be able to relate to the program trending downward and how much less fun that is. Also, Nebraska is more desperate and I bet we don't want Paul Chryst either. 

So are we really saying Wisconsin should stay loyal to Chryst and see where the next few seasons go?

I'd say it's even worse look for WI, Chryst doesn't have the national perception of being an a-hole and having cameras trained on him for outbursts like Bo did, there was some justification for firing Bo for his antics (not justifying it, just saying people were in favor of his firing because he was such an a-hole).   By all accounts Chryst is a good guy, winning at 67% clip.   IMO, this is a bad look for WI.

I've mentioned his name a few times, if we don't go the HC experience route, he's the top of my list of coordinators to go after.

 
Word on the street is that Leonhard will be given every opportunity to salvage this season and win the permanent job but if he fails to impress Leipold will be their top target... Aranda may be on their radar as well

i just hope that Trev has all his ducks in a row and has a plan that’s already been set in motion. We had a jump start on the coaching search and I hope he took advantage. The Auburn job will be open soon with plenty more to follow
