From an outsiders perspective, yes it is extremely odd. When you're talking about Gary Barta, it's not odd at all.
No way Brian goes without Kirk going too.
Iowa is going to deny and defend to the maximum, they will not cave until they are broken. The former players ought to find some high-powered law firm and do a class action suit for like $500M. That would bring the heat.
Yeah after reading that article in the Register, it seems pretty clear that this is not going to be a clean ordeal. It will get messy.
If Doyle were to turn on Kirk and University it will all be settled quickly, out of public view, and for a mountain of cash. He could bury both KKKirk and Brian in a hurray.
Yeah and I'm pretty sure that same guy called the 4:00 show.... It's amazing how people just aren't getting it.
Found him !!

I have no idea how Doyle would handle all of that. He was very public on Twitter when he essentially denied his behaviors. If he's pissed with his termination, he could certainly make this more messy by throwing blame on Kirk and Barta. It's also important how Brian is dealt with. If Doyle is let go and Brian stays on, it will get bad. If both Doyle and Brian are let go, Kirk will be up in arms. That's not to mention there are many players that are going to take legal action in all of this.
He's been the most unbiased in this entire situation and has been ridiculed for doing so.
You'd love that wouldn't you? Lot's of folks here would love nothing more than to see the Iowa football program burnt to the ground. To the contrary, most of the players that have spoken out and have been directly affected by all of this want just the opposite. They want change and transparency but they don't want the program destroyed. They want it to use this opportunity to be better. I haven't read everything that has been put out there by former players but that is the overall feeling I get from what I have read.
He booted off hn years back but he is doing the right thing now.
I don't want to speak for him, but from my standpoint it would largely be indifference previously (don't pay too much attention one way or the other to hawk reporters) to earning a great deal of respect by not being afraid to share these guy's stories.
I know you're trying to spin it as "you didn't respect him before, but now you do? How convenient". You all are putting as much spin as possible on this whole thing and working feverishly to argue semantics, discredit accusers, etc.
Doyle could actually be in a pretty powerful position here. If he thinks he's innocent, he could go kicking and screaming, he'd basically be fighting for his livelihood, no way he would get hired again after this. If Iowa were to fire him, they will likely need to prove why they fired him. It'll be pretty tough for Iowa to provide evidence of his wrongdoing without implicating Kirk or someone else in the department.
It's a pretty tricky spot for them. The quieter he goes, the better for everyone at Iowa involved. If he goes out guns blazing, he could make things very ugly for them. The bad guy getting a fat check on his way out would be pretty disgusting but at this point, Iowa seems to be doing everything it can to keep Kirk clean. IMO paying Doyle to play ball is the only way they can do that.
That answers half of my question although I think your answer is crap. He's the one that ran the juicy DJK story is the real answer. Multiple members of the media, including Chris Williams, have said they wouldn't have ran it without confirming the claims in there for accuracy.
Also, if your definition of unbiased is running the story and then reaching out to the University the following day for comment then I don't think you understand what you are saying. ISU fans just need to be honest, you are all Rob Howe fans now because he turned into the National Enquirer with the DJK piece.
The only thing Howe has done is publish the DJK story that nobody else would touch and retweet all the former players tweets.
So you had a lack of respect for him because he banned you from a message board but have now gained respect because he ran the DJK story?
That sounds reasonable.
