Phil Parker....

My Iowa buddy just texted me that Phil Parker (Iowa DC) is interviewing for the Ole Miss DC job for nearly twice the salary. Interesting I guess?

Well any coordinator job in the SEC would have to be for twice your current salary because you will only have the job for half as long.

Good, then they can bring back this former Hawkeye to replace him:

Interesting that the mighty SEC seems to be constantly hiring former B1G head coaches or assistants to show them how to actually play the game.

Iowa usually finds a way to succeed defensively. Even when the last DC retired they didnt seem to miss a beat. I do believe they have defensive coaches who have been on staff dor quite some time and would fill in just fine.

Would Iowa go after Chinander if Parker leaves?

Good one!

 

[phoenix4nu]

Good one!

Well he played there.

 

[cdriftt24]

He seemed to think if Parker left they would promote their LB coach to DC more than likely

 

[E.RogerCoswell]

Well he played there.

Saying he “played” there is a bit generous.

Lots of "playing" to be done in IC, that's for sure.

This guy might be cheaper.

Do you and Boxes surf the same creepy web-sites????? Dang....

Every man’s goal should be to wake up in Burge.

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

obviously the guy has seen the future and is running scared.

That's the next best thing to a van down by the river.

How old is Parker?

 

[9and4_rivals188421]

How old is Parker?

Younger than I am. He's 55. It seems like he's been there forever because Norm Parker was Ferentz's DC for 13 seasons. Phil took over in Ferentz's 14th season and has been the DC since. Kind of explains why Ferentz may think handing the HC reins over to Brian in a few years will work just fine.

 

[Ne-Hawk_rivals292215]

I believe he was on the original Ferentz staff as a DB coach in 1999...

True, but aren't all Iowa coaches DBs? :Cool:

That would be great, a different defensive coordinator every year. It would be nice to see the same coaches for two years in a row

 

[kwicasso_rivals334262]

Paeker is so valuable to Iowa's defense, particularly the secondary. He's produced 4 B1G defensive back of the year awards in the past 8 seasons. Micah Hyde (Bills), Desmond King (Chargers), Josh Jackson (Packers), Amani Hooker (Future draft pick).

As someone about the same age as Phil Parker, I say good on him if he can double his salary. Go get it!
