Wrong, Bart’s is telling Kirk that he loves his coaching and helping donors fork over money.
Klieman to Iowa?
- Thread starter cycloneML
- Start date
Barta and Kirk out, Taylor and Klieman to Iowa confirmed.
That's the only way I see Klieman at Iowa. Then, Collin Klein would become one of the younger P5 head coaches at his alma mater.
Klieman will be thinking about retirement before Barta grows enough balls to run the Ferentzs out of town.
The premise of the OP is flawed. Barta is AD in name only when it comes to the football program. Barta isn't telling anyone to do anything.
Kirk will hand select his replacement. It is supposed to be Brian, but that ship is not going well and may never float. So, Kirk will stay as a figure-head coach until he can't walk the sidelines anymore or things turn around for Brian.

If Kirk wants Brian as his replacement, he will have no problem giving the job to Brian while giving the middle finger to the fanbase.
People said Bill Snyder would do that for his son, Sean. Didn't happen. Football is bigger even than legends.
K-State had an AD change though. As long as Barta is AD, I don't see it happening unless the donors step in. Kirk has the donors wrapped around his finger.
Would not have mattered. The former AD, John Currie, would not have hired Sean. These coaches, even legends like Bob Knight, believe they have more power than the institution until it comes time to cull the heard.
