Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[Gonzo]

So, if Iowa has had three black starters in the past 40 years, that's great and the tweet was off. BTW, who are they, for the record.

I just think using the race of starting QBs as a metric for this is stupid.

Pete Gales, Brad Banks, and Jason Manson. Manson wasn't a regular starter, but started a few games, so I included him since the data point was black QBs who've started more than one game.

So how many complaints does it need to be before it counts?

It's not like it was one or two things where you could chalk it up to ignorance or a person who needs some sensitivity training...this is a patter over many years/teams. Not sure how this isn't concrete to some.

Lol if you think KF made a player logroll until he vomited blood for literally no reason. C’mon man.

So the players speaking out against Doyle are telling the truth but the ones speaking out against Kirk are lying?

"Where'd you get the Camaro, Johnson?"

"Where'd you get the Camaro, Johnson?"

Maybe that was just Johnson's opinion of what he believes Kirk would have said

"The Iowa Way".

Kirk isn't going to survive this

Kirk needs to be fired today or tomorrow?

Has anyone read both Morehouse and Hlas' articles in the CR Gazette? Morehouse I think was pretty fair in his. Hlas' seemed a lot more pro KF to me.... not terribly so, but yet seemed to definitely give KF the benefit of the doubt for sure.

I agree. I was a little disapointed in Hlas' article also.

I think what we need to learn right now is racism can also be many microagressions and a culture of not feeling valued. If the culture

Kirk needs to be fired today or tomorrow?

This might be the most damanaging yet.

Wonder when daddy kirk resigns?

As the national media picks this up, when, and how, do they reference Frans lineups being significant outliers from most other NCAA teams? It starts to look like the whole school has a 19th century mindset.

It also embarasses me as an Iowan.

They should fire Barta, hire that ISU AD guy that went to UNI, David Harris, and rebuild the entire athletic department. Just too many issues over there.

The whole University needs a clean slate. Everything from Modern Piping to Jane Meyer to AIB to where we are today and a lot in between.

Because there have been many concrete examples of racist things Doyle has said. I haven’t seen any concrete examples of racist things Brian has said. This really shouldn’t be difficult for you to understand.

Weird, figured it was the basketball team with the race issues

 

[alarson]

It gets worse and worse for kirk

Wouldnt be surprised if that's just another piece of the iceberg

I’ve been kind of down on college athletics ever since Titus and Tate’s podcast on college basketball. They would have stories from managers. There are too many coaches who get off on the control they have over their student-athletes.

Kirk needs to be fired today or tomorrow?

Wow, a walk-on received a harsher punishment for getting into trouble with the police than other players? I’m shocked!

 

[erinmd32]

This isn't going away, more continue to speak out. Regardless if Kirk stays or goes the damage from just a recruiting standpoint is going to hurt them for awhile.

I live so close to Iowa City and there are stories about many coaches in the community not always acting the best. Never anything but positive stories about Ferentz. It's really surprising and heartbreaking. I feel for those players.
