Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[CyTwins]

So because Kirk got rid of an awful policy a couple days ago we shouldn't criticize him when he created it in the first place?

Bump for @Brodie0

 

[Cyforce]

2 honest questions for the Iowa supporters.

1) How many stories of racist acts would need to surface before a coach should be fired?

2) If multiple coaches meet or exceed that number should Kirk be fired or asked to step down?

So Dochterman should have sat on this piece of new about a policy that was apparently around for a year, if not more, because Kirk had apparently abandoned the policy a few hours earlier. Got it.

What was around for a year or more? I dont think you are following the conversation here.

Where are all those other players from other schools coming out with the systemic racism tweets hok fans?

There was that one Clemson assistant 3 years ago and Dabo Swinney at some point repeating the n word. Neither were saying it to or about anybody but I’m sure it’s enough for haLks to run with.

Oh I agree but it appears Iowa isn't going to fire him

A lot of information is being absorbed right now. I don't think they've made a decision either way at this moment.

DID FERENTZ ISSUE THE CODE RED?

Your god damn right I did

 

[isufbcurt]

I would love to be an opposing teams recruiting coordinator right now. I would be using this on every recruit Iowa has contacted.

Take this for what it is worth. I know someone from with the walls of the athletic department at Iowa. They said it is a **** show but at this point in time, everyone there thinks Ferentz will weather this storm and Doyle isn't going to sink in the storm either. If Doyle leaves, if will be because Herald or BOR steps in.

Yes, this. Barta is completely toothless as an A.D. Ferentz is revered like JoePa, and of course nothing bad can come of someone having that much power and that little oversight...

 

[TrianglePlace]

At this point for our own benefit (recruiting, Iowa fans desperately want him gone, etc) do we want him to get actually fired?

There it is. You dont want reform for the betterment of the black athletes, you want this to benefit ISU.

Would you fire Kirk, Doyle, or Brian given the current information?

No. For the sake of the pain they caused I think Brian, Doyle and Kirk should all be fired. What they did was disgusting. It's obvious they think they can get away with all of this that's why I asked the question

 

[JP4CY]

The bolded is not true in the slightest.

So if Gary Barta, Harreld, and the Chief of Iowa police at a minimum don't have a press conference and open it up for questions, what's that say about who you support?

Non racist schools should certainly make young black athletes aware of what they are likely to experience if they go to racist schools like Iowa.

No further questions.

Oh they 100% are.

I know Iowa gets a lot of kids to the NFL but how many don’t make it that they tell that if they go with the “program” they’ll get in to the league that never even make it to draft eligibility at the school?

Your post brought this incident to mind...

Ive already said I hope Doyle takes a knee during the anthem from his living room when Iowa kicks off this season.

The other 2, not at this point. Wallace should be on the block before BF and KF in my opinion. His comments to Jack K. were awful.

@Brodie0 will ignore this because it doesn't fit his narrative.
