Political Football

For the last week rumors have been swirling between Ann Arbor and Iowa City that Kirk Frentz is going to be the next University of Michigan Football Head Coach.

Apparently that was only a well established rumor that developed so many “legs” that it took on the look of an urban legend.

And there it died.

Today the University of Iowa AD announced that neither he or Kirk had any contact with the Michigan AD.

Kirk is a good coach, and Iowa is lucky to have him.  Even with the disppointing record over the last three years, he’s the consensus guy for the job and I’m happy the rumor was just that.

I doubt two things -

1) that Iowa will be bowling this year (sigh…)
2) there will be any more talk about it until after the BCS bowls are over -

There seems to be an understanding that Les Miles (LSU coach) is in the running as is Cincinnati’s Coach and a few others.  We’ll see.

In Kirk We Trust
