Iowa Football Recruiting

[Thinker]

I’d venture because they do no see Kirk being acceptable for other grown men’s actions towards them and those players probably had an okay to good relationship with Kirk. Kirk could just keep his hands off of everything and claim it wasn’t his fault directly, which is exactly what happened. Also, there were probably just as many players who said Kirk was a problem that defended Kirk.

This is my stance on this too. Kirk is the leader of the program, but he cannot control everything everyone says.

It might explain why I am a little out of the loop on things. I do not pay close attention anymore. I come here for news and because I am currently board. I have more important things to do than Iowa football. Which is crazy because I used to revolve around it 247

To be honest, it really goes back to the local media doing a really poor job covering all of this. Other than getting in line and agreeing with Kirk's aw shucks blind spot comments they were never critical of what took place. Rob Howe was the only one who really dug into it and the fanbase try to bury him because of it.

I can understand that take

Kirk has done so much for the IC community, including donating millions of dollars, as well as the large majority of his former players having love him for him, for me to genuinely believe he is a bad dude.

Wow.... Racist donates millions so its OK.

Rob got some hate for sure, but once he published the DJK story again everybody turned on him. He basically got fired from his job and nobody listens to his stuff anymore because of that.

The whole Kirk didn't know narrative needs to die. The old man is a control freak, you're god damn right he knew what was going on.

So why do you think all the allegations against him were dismissed before trial?

I'm sure I could come up with a few million reasons... How much did the Husch Blackwell rug sweeping cost again?

So it is money. They same reason the lawsuit is still going is because of money.

The Wadley stuff is perplexing to me in that he blames Iowa for him not making it in the NFL. But he signed a contract with a team and did not make the team and did the same with the XFL....... so what exactly did Kirk do to blackball him?

Same with DJK and the drugs. You run a drug house, you run the risk of the NFL saying no thanks.

He did what journalists/sports writers should do and he got railroaded for it.

Correct, Kirk's "blind spot" is going to cost the University a lot of money.

He weighed about 175. He wasn’t a burner and nobody will last long in the NFL playing RB at that size

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the lawsuit claiming Kirk cost them money and they are seeking compensation for it? Like if it was not for Iowa football they would be financially stable.

Other than the trash can part of that article, the entire store is so outrageous

Thanks for your meaningless opinion.

At least he had to gonads to do it. Chad and the rest of the "you say jump, we say how high" Iowa media can suck a fat one. All they want to do is keep their god-for-saking media credentials and will do whatever it takes.

Thanks for all your meaningless opinions.

Pretty much sums up Nate's existence on here.

DJK claimed that on senior day Kirk told his parents he was going to have the cops raid his house or something like that lolol

Yep, and Rob printed it word for word. Some journalist, but I guess almost all journalism is dead so not necessarily Rob's fault.
