Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

The Iowa, Kirk Ferentz playbook:
- Satterfield/Everson sexual assault - Kirk does pretty much what someone would do to make a case go away while retaining some plausible deniability (talk to the victim but say you CAN go to the police, have other players move into the crime scene room right away, as if they are going to NOT clean up considering what they testified they found in the room). It gets spun into a player behavior problem, Kirk gives the clear strawman "I'm not perfect but how dare people attack my character" statement.
- Racism accusations - Tons of people come forward, including some explicit statements saying Kirk clearly was aware, and in some accusations played some role. Since most players are not explicitly saying "Kirk should be fired," people are translating this as overwhelming support for Kirk to be the guy to fix this by even players making accusations. This will now be spun into a Doyle problem. Kirk keeps playing dumb like he had no idea despite the many accusations that he was fully aware, and give the same old "I didn't do anything wrong or know anything, and I shouldn't be punished, but I'm taking responsibility because the buck stops with me."

It's unreal. In both of these cases it is clear he was not some clueless guy that was oblivious to what was happening under his watch.

Are people this stupid? In these cases Kirk gets to keep denying any wrongdoing, any knowledge of wrongdoing, be incredulous that people would question his character, suggest he should receive no punishment, yet claim he's taking responsibility with the old, ultimately I'm responsible for things that happen in the program. And morons in this state buy that as "taking responsibility."
