I just saw it posted on Facebook, Omar is headed to the LV Raiders. Maybe Jay Norvell could take over the RB coach position? It could also be that Norvell, wants to stay as an analyst, no off campus recruiting involved in that gig.
Omar Young headed back to the NFL
- Thread starter Hawkeyes19
- Start date
Yep, confirmed here
Kirk and Beth have another coaching spot to fill this off season, and it's an important one. Anyone know if Shonn Greene is interested in coaching?

Omar Young, the guy whom Iowa Slaw insisted was unqualified to coach our RBs, is returning to the NFL. Those NFL teams must really be stupid when it comes to hiring coaches. 
I mean, it is the Raiders…Omar Young, the guy whom Iowa Slaw insisted was unqualified to coach our RBs, is returning to the NFL. Those NFL teams must really be stupid when it comes to hiring coaches.
is Ladell Betts available, or has he found another job?
yeah and their new HC who just won a Super Bowl as OC must be clueless how to organize a run game. Walker and Charbonnet looked terrible this year!
What about Frian Berentz. He’s won ten games at Iowa before. Don’t know if anyone has heard that before.
Maybe get a clue about the context which that qoute originated from.
It’s staggering how hard fans fight to sound stupid
Shut up, Brian.

Coleslaw opinions....
I look at this as a good sign. Gives Tim Lester the ability to bring in another of his guys possibly and the cupboard has a lot of RB talent so it shouldn't be that hard to find someone that will be high quality and may bring more in recruiting if they have been a college coach the whole time.
One more fleeting thought is maybe Bud moves from WR to RB and that leaves open a spot to get a true WR coach.

Can’t believe Brian isn’t focusing on the Fresno State tight ends and is instead commenting on Iowa message boards!
This is what I was thinking. Doesn't Jay Norvell have WR coaching experience (along with head coaching)? I think that would be a home run.
You can't coach the talent of an Akrum Wadley, one of the most exciting and clutch RBs I've ever seen in a Hawkeye uniform, and I've been around a while. I loved watching him do his thing.
BTW: I'm hearing Lester could bring in the RB coach he worked with at Western Michigan, Mike Bath.
I can just about guarantee that Lester is going to go get his guy......
As long as it isn't former PSU RB Mike McBath...Orlando folks know what I'm saying.
A little over a week and it has been awfully quiet regarding the Hawk's RB coach replacement. Heard a few names to watch but no leader yet. We need a solid RB recruit in this class so I'm hoping we get a solid recruiter.
I googled Coach Bath, he has a good resume. I have no knowledge on the coaching search, I trust Kirk and Tim Lester to make the right hire.
Several names are higher up in this thread. Manson? Probably not
Albert Young? He has been a running back coach at Colorado for a year and Wilkes College, not a great coaching resume.
I had heard there may be a MAC coach also.
You need to chill.
I'm guessing it'll be a current NFL analyst with experience in the Shanahan system that's previously been an OC and/or RB coach.
