Wait, Iowa took down DJK's records?

His lifting records.

They have a record board in the weight room by position that lists the record for bench, squat and clean.

Pretty sure all his WR numbers are in the Iowa history books.
 
I wonder if @ChrisMWilliams worked for HN, if he would have ran that DJK story without first trying to find a source or two to confirm its accurate and reaching out to the university for comment prior to publishing the article.


On the Hawkeye Nation website:

If you Google "University of Iowa Football", News. You will get the Derrell Johnson Statement On His Time with Iowa Football.

Click and you get the "Fumble" statement below.

Interesting so much hate for Iowa Staters apparently interested in Iowa Football news.

Fumble.

It appears you've reached a page that isn't working because:
  • Just like Iowa State's history of January bowl game appearances, it does not exist.
  • You have a "degree" from Iowa State and don't type so well.
  • There is a technical error, which is vicariously still Iowa State's fault since they invented the computer.
 
I’m telling you. It has the potential to get ugly.
Like this post indicates, it takes a bit for some of the worst stories to come out.
Wasn't Akrum Wadley's mom going to be announcing something today, too? Or do you think she was just making a reference to Kristi Green's announcement (maybe they've been in touch)?
 
Feel for Rob Howe because this dude is hanging him out to dry in a big way. I'm guessing the one guy actually trying to tell these stories is about to go quiet.

To add a point to this, Rob Howe was actually interviewed right before the HN owner was. At the end of the interview he talked about how he's not enjoying this at all (as if any intelligent person would think he is) and at the end of his answer, his voice seemed to crack a bit and he said something like, "if I still have a job." Kind of got real there all of a sudden.

So by most accounts, especially Iowa fans, it seems that KF and DJK never got along from the very first time DJK set foot in the facility.

In fact, as more time went by, it got even worse too. It sounds like he was always late, always dogging it in practice, kicking over the garbage can in practice, etc, etc, etc.

But yet.... KF didn't kick him out of the program because..... guess what..... DJK singlehandedly would win games for KF. And the more wins KF got, the more $$ KF got.

So KF was just fine putting up with DJK as long as he was making KF more money.... but at the end of it all..... when DJK's time at Iowa was up and he wouldn't be winning any more games for KF..... KF threw him under the bus and ruined his chances at making any kind of money for himself for once.

What kind of awful human being would use someone else like that? Use them for year after year to gather up wins.... and then destroy them at the end. What a scumbag!

Seems too crazy to be true right? But just the other day I saw a live murder on TV and it was a cop suffocating a black guy in MN. Nothing is impossible in a power bubble.

I've just been sitting back all day listening to all the Hawk fans talk about what a POS DJK was and that KF couldn't stand him.... so I just wondered why KF put up with him and didn't just kick him out of the program from day one? Or year two? Or year three?

But..... DJK almost singlehandedly won quite a few games for Iowa and KF. He was that good. So KF put up with him and used him to make himself more money. But when it came time for DJK to cash in finally..... KF destroyed him.
 
100% correct. When he says he needs to review stories before they go up on the web site, that means he's running interference for the athletic department. Plain and simple.

What I'm curious about, and nobody followed up on, was how he said HN did not have a good relationship with the U of I as CF does with ISU. Not clear what he meant by that. But the implication was that they had to tiptoe around some things.

i feel that all media feels like they need to tiptoe around the football program
 
Translation: Iowa and Chris Doyle have agreed to the terms of his departure.

That was my first thought too, but I'm not sure it necessarily means that?

Even if Doyle isn't gone, would you want to be his son and still be playing there? I think it would be a bad situation for him either way, so why not just get out.
