Florida State is about to be in the market for a new defensive coordinator. We want someone who is

Young (Under 50)
Energetic
Able to recruit in Florida and the south
Successful with lesser athletes (this is the big one. FSU will draw the 4* and 5* recruits. We want the DC to be able to provide the schem AND be able to teach the scheme.
Emphasis on technique and scheme over sheer intensity

I really like Phil Parker, and some in the FSU program do as well.

Iowa's defense is rated 5th by FEI and their pass efficiency defense is rated 8th in opponent adjusted pass efficiency defense.

Would any of you care to share your thoughts on Phil Parker? Do you think he is ready to become a DC?

Thanks, Tomahawk Nation

Might I be able to interest you in a pre-owned Ken O'Keefe?

We have had a penchant for having the worst offensive coordinator in the worldddd

I say go for it.

The man is a world-class motivational speaker, and an author to boot.

The man’s from Lorain, where football is played in snow by people with too many vowels in their last name. Plus it’s quite funny that you think anyone would ever move from Iowa City to Florida, for god’s sake.

But thank you for noting that we play good defense.

You missed out on a real gem in your own backyard:

Dan McCarney.

Don’t know much about Phil, other than he works under Norm, who is one of the best and most experienced D-coord’s in the country. And the Iowa philosophy revolves around fundamentals, discipline and execution – it’s hard to imagine that this hasn’t been picked up by the assistants.

I am a big Mccarney fan, for sure

not sure if Jimbo knows him.

It would be a wonderful hire...

…for both schools. A win-win, to borrow a phrase. You get an upgrade, then we get one. You do know that he was an All-Big Ten performer back in his day?

looking for someone smarter than KOK...
