Brian Ferentz coordinated them to a Big Ten West championship and is available, fwiw

Cockeye's Offensive woes deserve their own thread. This is glorious
Johns is confusing if he’s actually good.
He’s been the OC of some good offenses. But his head coaches were also Kevin Wilson, Kliff Kingsbury and Mike Norvell. And at Indiana he had Seth Littrell as a co oc.

Make no mistake - Kirk runs the offense and it looks how he wants it to look. The OC will run what Kirk wants to run, how he wants to run it.

People smarter than me seem to think it would be a good hire

That's convenient- his brother Mo is already at Cockeye.

Chester Mo Lester is also with the team in a support role.

That's like 25% better than Cockeye's stat line, though.

The truth is that Ferentz would have never fired his son had he not been forced to. Cockeye has no intention of changing anything on offense.

Sounds like Kevin Johns was the second option. Or maybe the first option, but turned them down. Hard to blame him for not wanting to move to Cockeye just to run Kirk's offense.

Scuttle was that Lester blew them away in the interview. Very easy to imagine a guy like Lester capitulating when asked about collaboration and Johns being a bit more proud considering he should have better opportunities on the market. Johns was thought to be in the bag until Friday afternoon.
Idk, I guess he had a lot to do with Jordan Love’s development over there so who knows but this team has about one good year left and then they’ll be fighting for bowl games. It was made pretty clear throughout the search that Kirk still owns the university and isn’t going anywhere soon. I will revel in that.

I dont doubt that this is the spin in Cockeye. But I don't believe it at all. The dude was there for about 8 months and in that time I'm doubting was around Love enough to make a large impact.

I stand by my statement that this is Kirk's offense and he needs someone willing to put up less than 200yds of O and 17pts per game and keep the O a distant third behind D and punting as a priority in their formula. He's not ever bringing in an innovative offensive coordinator. That's not the Cockeye identity under Kuck.

This is a Scott Frost level hire. Does Kirk want to get fired?
