Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

I just assumed the no Twitter policy was to keep the team focused and not read what people are saying about them. Kirk's "sweet treat" revision to the policy allowing one "pre-approved" tweet confirms it wasn't about keeping the team focused, it was about keeping them from speaking their mind of what is going on behind closed doors. No way Kirk survives this. Iowa fans on here defending him should be ashamed.
There is one thread where Iowa fans are talking about how things are happening in programs other than Iowa. I have also seen it in the threads on the subject.
Quick question for you, if Iowa keeps KF and how he handles things in the coming months makes Iowa stronger than they are now what will the response be on this site?
My guess is clone fans will be more pissed than ever at Iowa and the hate will go to a whole new level. Some here will have their heads explode.
Thank god you and other clone fans know what the lifting of the ban was really about and what it wasn’t.
Utah, Clemson, and Missouri are abhorrent, and make the nation look bad. This all makes us all look bad as a state by proxy. And we may have (or have had) the same issues, which is why I think few of us are trying to be glib - I believe we would have some of the same disgusting displays of denial if it were us, and that's awful.
Pretty sure the general expectation both in this thread and in general is that KF and BF at a minimum keep their jobs, regardless of right or wrong. If Doyle kept quiet he might've made it out, but his statement seems to have jeopardized that.
So, I don't think anyone would be surprised or really care if KF stays. Now, if everyone gets fired and the program tanks, ISU fans will have a field day with that one (as will other fanbases, too).
You are losing it Bear. You may want to sit this one out until your temper cools off a bit.
So where are all the clone fans out demanding the firing of coaches from the other programs? Or do I wait until after their post for that to come forth?
Let’s not take stuff out of context.
You missed the point I was trying to make.
I don’t fear realizing the extent that we have all tolerated racism. I hope we all reflect and realize what we’ve done.
What I fear is people are not reflecting on that and are going to get us into a position where we have set an unsustainable standard. I think we have all been guilty of tolerating racism in our lives. It’s easy to say if you tolerated racism you should lose your job but then you are failing to reflect that you too have tolerated racism.
As I have said I don’t know where Kirk Ferentz should fall. I do know that we should have a thorough investigation to see the extent of the allegations. Once we have that we should make a decision. Reacting without all of the facts will cause is to be hypocrites.
I would be shocked if it was the case but imagine the same allegations came out against Campbell. I would be saying the same exact thing. I don’t know what should happen without a thorough understanding of the facts.
Have you read any of the Baylor threads on here? You practically live here so I assumed you did.
I think Doyle was going to get thrown under the bus not matter what and figured that out. He now wants to share some of the blame with others so it doesn't look like he was the sole doucher there. Only chance to land another job somewhere because at 51, he stills needs to get some paychecks somewhere to continue with the same level of life.
