Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker on Tuesday was honored as the 2023 Broyles Award winner, given to the nation’s top assistant coach or coordinator.The news was expected. Iowa fielded an offense straight out of the Stone Age but went 10-3 because Parker’s unit held opponents to 13 points per game.The group of five finalists included one Pac-12 coach, Oregon offensive playcaller Will Stein. But there was plenty of stellar coaching across the conference footprint this season.Here’s the Hotline’s ranking of the top staff members.(Note: Several head coaches serve as playcallers. They were not included.)1. Oregon State offensive line coach Jim Michalczik: Over the years, Michalczik repeatedly has turned two- and three-star prospects into all-conference performers at the heart of OSU’s superb running game. A longtime Pac-12 assistant — he first joined the conference in 1999 — Michalczik has been, for our money, the finest assistant (or coordi...
