Nah there is most definitely a process in all of this. All players that have come forward have stated Doyle is the main problem. A lot of those players also stated Brian was the problem. A few of those players said Kirk Ferentz deserves blame as well. You can't fire any of these coaches without first investigating. My main point was that there is indeed a lot more to what Brian did than those two incidents we both mentioned, especially if other people were saying he was a problem.
It was from her video, but the words were from Akrum Wadley's mouth.
Just want clarification from you that both Sharonda Phelps AND Akrum Wadley are no longer credible in your eyes.
Anybody that does something wrong in their life is no longer credible in some Hawkeye fan's eyes. Funny thing is that most of their coaching staff would not be credible in their eyes if their actions in the past were actually punished.
I received a lot of guff about that too. Iowa should have NEVER helped Miller tailor that message.
I will be shocked if Iowa doesn't draw this thing out just to give Kirk one last year and let him go out on "his terms". Plus this would but them time to perform a coach search.
It seems a wee bit early to be outraged at this without knowing exactly what the circumstances are with the players being there. Maybe it's current players, maybe it's former players. Maybe they went to KF and asked to be a part of it so they could be heard. Maybe they're going to speak for the committee being led by Daniels. If it turns out that they're there just to praise all things Kirk then yes, that would be incredibly lame and worthy of the outrage. Right now, I don't think anybody knows so claiming KF is using them as props is premature.
@Brodie0 of course there should be an investigation. But not an investigation lead by U of I. All they're investigating right now is how to retain as many coaches as cheaply as possible and keep everyone quiet. That's their MO. They need a third party to come in - one from outside the state of Iowa and no connections to the university - and cooperate with the investigation. The results need to be made public. If I were Barta, I'd suspend Doyle, BF and Kirk (and other accused coaches) from interacting with players. They can do a lot of coaching - practice film review, working through other coaches, etc. - without being on the field. OR have an objective observer like from HR or something shadow each of these guys anytime they are with athletes until the investigation is over.
Checking in again with dognuts or any of the other Hawk posters to see what their thoughts are on Kirk's actions in the Satterfield and Everson case, or if, like Art Briles, since he was not officially charged with any crimes he didn't do anything wrong.
That's why @Brodie0 , @johnnydugouts , @TrianglePlace won't go near that one. They're very selective as to who they discredit.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms or support one's prior personal beliefs or values. It is an important type of cognitive bias that has a significant effect on the proper functioning of society by distorting evidence-based decision-making.
