Norm Parker on Coaching (via asolsma)
Last night, legendary Hawkeye assistant coach Norm Parker announced his retirement from Iowa will be after the Insight.com Bowl. Parker has spent 48 years as a football coach and 13 at with the Hawkeyes.
While serving as defensive coordinator at Iowa, Parker's defense have been some of Iowa's best. Per Hawkeye Sports, here are some of the accomplishments,
Under Parker's direction, Iowa has ranked among the top 10 nationally in rushing defense five times. Iowa has been in the top 10 in scoring defense three of the past four seasons. In 2010, Iowa was fifth nationally in total defense (332.1), sixth in rushing defense (101.5) and seventh in scoring defense (17.0)
For as good as Norm's career at Iowa has been, some are getting a little carried away. Jon Miller writes,
Simply put, Iowa football would not be Iowa football without Norm Parker. Iowa football will have a tough time remaining Iowa football without Norm Parker.
The first sentence I can agree with, the second, um, not so much. Sure, you can point to the times over the last couple of seasons when Norm wasn't present and say there's your proof. But you have to remember that the rest of the coaching staff was spread thin and had less time to prepare than if they were the defensive coordinator. The future is uncertain but it's certainly not scary. Iowa can pay a decent salary and offer excellent bonuses. Ferentz will find a capable replacement and the staff may ultimately be better for it.
These next few days, if not weeks, will be interesting as we wait to see who the person to fill Parker's shoes will be. Pat Harty writes that "if Phil Parker doesn't get promoted now, it seems unlikely that he ever would." Marc Morehouse also hints that it may be Phil Parker but lists a few other candidates.
Regardless of who the newest addition to the coaching staff is we still get Norm for one more game, and it's a tough one. Parker will have to figure out a way to shut down Oklahoma's Landry Jones, much like the last two seasons when Iowa faced Georgia Tech and Missouri in bowls. The Hawkeyes surrendered many yards against Blaine Gabbert last year but when the clock hit 00:00 it was Iowa that was victorious. I can't wait to see what the legendary defensive coordinator comes up with for this one.
The football team started practice Friday for the Insight.com Bowl. Marcus Coker says the team is fresh and "We haven't been on the field for a while, so getting those pads back on felt good." WIth practice comes practice pics. Some interesting things stick out like a DLine of Carl Davis, Darian Cooper and Mike Hardy (pic #13). Several freshmen got caught on camera, Lomax, Campbell, McMinn, Rudock and Walsh make an appearance.
Oklahoma will be the ninth bowl team Iowa will face this season. Iowa finished 4-4 against the eight bowl teams (Iowa State, Penn State, Purdue, Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Pitt) faced this year. Oklahoma also faced eight teams that earned bowl invites, they finished 5-3 against those opponents. Iowa is 3-1 all-time against Big 12 teams in bowl games and 0-1 all-time against Oklahoma.
It wasn't a good week for the Hawkeye men's basketball team and instate road trips. The Hawks lost by 20 to UNI and lost 86-76 Friday night to Iowa State. Devyn Marble again got the start at point guard and led the team with a career high 21 points. It was the same song and dance as Iowa State poured in eight three pointers against Iowa's weak defense.
Melsahn Basabe added 18 points and 9 rebounds raising his season averages to 8.5 (pts) and 5.3 (reb). His conditioning has been an issue all season and he says he still isn't back to where he feels comfortable. Basabe says "It's been improving the last three games and over the last three weeks it definitely has."
The Hawkeyes not only lost to Iowa State Friday, they lost a member of the coaching staff. Former Hawkeye Ryan Bowen had served as Iowa's video coordinator since McCaffery hired him upon his arrival. Bowen, per NCAA rules, wasn't a big part of coaching outside of video and scouting. Coach McCaffery says, "I think it's a great opportunity."
Iowa has a week off for finals and will take on Drake Saturday, December, 17th.

Darrian Miller (former RB recruiting target)
May be transferring from Kansas, per the KU SB Nation blog
That might be veering too deep into Caring is Creepy-land, but I’d take another RB, even if he had to sit out a year.
BORK BORK BORK
We withdrew Miller's offer last year
Otherwise he would have probably committed. Iowa has no interest in Miller.
I just wanna see Kirk Ferentz cry.
I feel confident that they are, but I hope the program is smart enough to be aggressively pursuing a coach now.
I know it would be awkward if it’s someone that’s unemployed (like Stoops) with Norm still coaching the Bowl game, and I don’t really care WHEN they announce it, but I hope they won’t wait another 3 weeks to start looking.
meh
Typo from the press release
In 2010, Iowa was 25th in total defense, not 5th.
I just wanna see Kirk Ferentz cry.
I came into this thread to post that Haley was fired
and that KF to KC rumors would be starting in three, two, one.. go.. but I was late.

I think the continued use of Palko might have been a contributing reason to fire Haley now
instead of at the end of the season. He had not had a non-Hail Mary TD pass all year until the 3rd quarter of this week. I also think we might see Stanzi.

thats the reasoning
I think that his insisting upon playing Palko after it became clear that he was terrible was a contributing factor. I could be wrong but that is what a lot of people on Arrowhead Pride think as well. I don’t see why you wouldn’t play him now, you know what you have with Palko, time to see what Stanzi can do for you.

Does anyone get why Morehouse is saying that the signing of a DB recruit could give some...

I'm guessing he's assuming the recruit
already knew about Norm retiring (and you would think that would be case). So since the recruit committed, he must feel pretty good that his lead recruiter (and position coach) will be in a good position in the near future.
That’s what I took from it anyway.
by Captain n Diet Coker on Dec 12, 2011 10:49 AM CST up reply actions
But then he wouldn't know who his position coach would be
I don’t see it as a smoking gun either.
If it's Phil Parker, I assume he'll keep his defensive backs responsibilities too
For some time, Norm was the inside linebackers coach and the defensive coordinator. I assume that if Phil Parker is rewarded with the DC position, he’ll keep his defensive backfield responsibilities too.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
I would assume so.
That would also give us an extra coach to have around. I, for one, am not in the Phil Parker camp, though. I’d like to see somebody new, with fresh ideas come in that will make KF think a little bit. No major changes…just make sure the guy isn’t getting too comfortable.

I'm interested what Phil Parker thinks.
Aren’t you assuming that PP is NP’s defensive clone? PP may see things a different way but hasn’t had the opportunity to do anything about it (yet).

True.
But being on the staff for that long, I’m sure he is of similar thinking. He may not be able to shake things up too much if he were to be promoted. It might be easier for someone else to come in and do that than it would be for Phil.
All conjecture, obviously. Parker might be somebody completely different that Norm. And, even if he was, it wouldn’t be the worst thing ever. The defense was the backbone of the team for years. We’d be lucky to have somebody like Norm as a replacement.

Plus Phil played at MSU when Norm was one of the D coaches (OLB while Phil was a DB).
Doesn’t mean anything. It’s just another connection.

I'd like to have sexy times with Olivia Wilde
unfortunately, I think that is as likely as Iowa getting any coach that makes KF uncomfortable.
I don’t know what to think about Phil Parker taking over at DC. By both experience and longevity with the staff, he is the clear front-runner. But I don’t think he’s ever been a coordinator before, kind of late to the game to start as one now. On the other hand, he could be great.

No way is he telling a recruit he's the next DC before it's announced.

by therealCatnuts on Dec 12, 2011 11:56 AM CST up reply actions
The rationale is
That the recruit wouldnt go there if he thought phil was leaving, and maybe even chose iowa because he knew phil would be DC. Doesnt make much sense to me other than we know phil will be coaching iowa in the future in some capacity… Or iowa city is better than the mac school he was recruited by.

Okay. I hadn't thought of that.
That’s the only thing I can guess. I wonder why Morehouse wouldn’t actually say that, though. Like others said, it would be pretty wacky for a the coach to tell a recruit before it actually was announced.

Not as wacky as pulling the switcheroo and still expecting him to come here.

If he's turned down other NFL offers,
Why would he take this one? I know there are several Iowa guys on the roster, but that surely can’t be enough of a reason to take a job. The roster could literally change overnight.

I think the thing has always been that he wants absolute control
Up to this point, I don’t think that’s ever been offered. I feel like someone recently got the top of offer that Ferentz has been rumored to want, though I can’t remember who it was. Saban at Miami, maybe? Doesn’t feel right. I dunno.

I'm sorry bro
That was in reply to the original message, the Howe tweet. That tweet was originally a joke that got retweeted.
seriously?
I doubt he leaves
but as I understand it Pioli and Ferentz are very good friends. Like family functions and get together good. Last year when talking about drafting Stanzi Pioli had glowing things to say about Ferentz and if I recall correctly at the end of the interview told the reporter that if ever need a quote about Ferentz to call him up.
I get that connection.
It just wouldn’t make any sense to me for him to leave. James is still here, he’s got one (Steve?) more graduating HS this year…and if I recall, that was always the line he gave about why he didn’t take any of the other offers.

Throughout most of the time we bended, but stayed strong at the goal line, forcing FG's.
Most of those close games in the past 10 years we won were due to the D shutting down offenses in the redzone. If our O had actually been in the top half of the conference consistently we could have been Ohio State.

That's my biggest beef with all of this.
There are people out there who actually said “good” about Norm retiring.
It makes me sick to know that there are football fans out there who don’t know the difference between scheme and execution. Norm and his defensive style has never been the culprit, it’s the fucking diabetes and the strain that it’s put on Norm to keep up day to day activities.
If for the last two years people had been bitching about diabetes and how they wished they had a fully healthy DC, you would’ve heard no argument from me, but instead people carry on about 10 yard cushions and magically mobile QBs.
Fuck it, y’all got your wish. Next man in, I guess.

I live with a Type 1 diabetic
Who turns 47 on Wed, and when she was diagnosed at 6, the doctor told her – and her parents – that she would be lucky to live to see 30.
Medicine and management of the disease has improved tremendously, but, its still hard being a diabetic on a day to day basis. She’s already had two minor strokes – no major impairment but she has minor loss of sensation on the right side of her body. Like being mildly numb some of the time, and it gets worse when she gets tired.
I’ve never had a problem with Norm’s defense, its sad his health is forcing him to step down, but he’s also doing the right thing for the team and himself and his family by stepping down now. I think we are a lot better team last year AND this year with a healthier Norm overseeing the defense. There’s no question (ah, a Ferentzism) that his health had impacted the team.

I think a big part of this is how much cash we are throwing at this position.
There are schools out there paying their top assistants$ 750k and more. I don’t foresee us going that way with assistant pay.
Therefore, I doubt we get any of the “top” names from outside the program like Mark Stoops, Mike Stoops. Maybe we get one of the PSU guys (Bradley or Johnson, Sr), if they are struggling to find a job, but I would have to think that some major program might throw more cash at them.
So, I think it very likely that we end up promoting. Parker or Wilson won’t demand a massive raise. And maybe Kaz doesn’t leave if Parker or Wilson gets the promotion. And obviously, KF is probably most comfortable with one of them.
Ideally, if money is no object, I wouldn’t mind throwing a serious effort at landing Mark Stoops. But I doubt we do so. I don’t think I want Mike Stoops, because I don’t want to see somebody’s cranium explode at Kinnick unless it is caused by a Morris tackle.

So if we promote Parker or Wilson
Who replaces them? Clearly it will be someone with a much lower profile.
The Gazette today mentioned Ron Alken as a possible candidate. He was the most interesting to me, mostly because I hadn’t heard his name thrown around. After seconds of careful research, I decided that he and Parker were my top two choices of those listed. I would also be very happy with Bradley or Johnson from PSU.
The Arizona Cardinals will miss the playoffs this year.
They missed out last year.
That could mean that Whisenhunt and staff might need to make the playoffs next year to save their jobs.
Aiken jumped from a position coach (DL?) at Iowa to DL coach at the Cardinals. Maybe he’d come back to Iowa to be a DC, or maybe not. It might depend on how long he thinks he and his fellow coaches will survive at AZ.
I’m reading that many NFL assistants make between $150k to $450k a year. So, I’m guessing Aiken might not be getting a huge raise to come back to Iowa, even as DC.

I dunno.
I think that, depending on who the “new” coach would be, he might keep some current assistants. Particularly if the “new” coach was a current coordinator or assistant somewhere, and didn’t have his own staff to just bring to Iowa.
I know, if I was a new guy with no current staff, and I was taking over at Iowa, I’d try to keep Campbell and Kaz. I’d definitely consider keeping Wilson, Phil Parker, Eric Johnson. I’m not sure how I feel about Morgan, KOK or Erb right now.

That's not the way it happens
The new guy would likely only keep 1-2 assistants, if any at all. Any new coach is going to want to put his stamp on the program, and he isn’t going to want vestiges of the old regime hanging around and possibly undermining him. Most of the assistants, particularly the long-tenured ones, would be out immediately.
