I pretty much agree with the OP. Those who know me here know I have zero tolerance for any bigotry but this seems like nonsense...although I don't know Dolph personally so maybe there's something we don't know???
Dolph didn't say anything most Iowa fans haven't said when he got caught hot mic about Fran's recruiting. Fran really lucked out a kid born a Hawk fan happened to be the type of player who can start in the Big 10 this year. Other than Cook and Garza he's pretty much exclusively relied on born Iowa fans or a few players like White that weren't heavily recruited.

I didn't think it at first, but as this story has developed, I'm now firmly in the camp that it's a Fran-spiracy. There's no other logical explanation.
I mean, it's still hilarious overall 'cuz "f*** the hoks", but I do hold a little sympathy for Dolph. He didn't do anything to deserve it (this time) and he doesn't seem like a bad guy.

Fran sucks.
Iowa fans are going to wish Dolph got a lifetime contract and Fran got booted sooner rather than later.
Does anyone really think Fran is some model of ideal behavior?

Oh, and this event once again brings up the eternal question: "How the flying f*** does Barta still have a job?"
No idea. Is that up to the Iowa president, or the board of regents to make that call?
I can only hope Fran succeeds in making the narrative of their season to be one of a fissure internally. Don’t let me down, White Magic.
Not only does he have a job. Someone with a lot of power thought: "Let's give this man 8% of the college football playoff selection"
So I'm probably going to be in the minority on this, but I think dolph probably shouldn't have made the king kong comment and should have issued an apology for it afterwards. But I also want to make it clear that I don't think Dolph is a racist. I also think it's completely ridiculous for the Iowa athletic department to use this to try and push dolph out. It's completely unfair to him. And really, Gary? You're doing this for McCaffery? It's ridiculous to do this for any coach, but especially one like McCaffery.
It also just shows how terrible Iowa is at PR. Like Bryce said, no one was talking about this

Never have come close to rooting for Iowa in my life but have always liked Dolph and his passion for the game. He does paint a good picture with his words.
Would agreed with you but I can't honestly say I ever root for them. I might not root against them buuuut can't say I root for them. That Stanford Rose Bowl game a few yrs ago was glorious IMO.
Well he did apologize, but when the comment was made it seemed to be so innocuous he had no reason to even think there was even a apology needed IMO. I agree with the rest of your statement though Woo.
He had no reason to apologize (have no idea if he did or not).
Pettiness has won the day.

Fran is such a complicated person. On the court he's a total jerk, cry baby, hyperbolic. In his interviews he is calm, collected, still mad, but well spoken. Behind the scenes he's conniving, calculated. On the recruiting trail he's a smiley glad hand with a Hawkeye logo on. Only unifying trait is his arrogance. Love me some Mad Fran.
I just hope it comes out that McCaffrey and Barta teamed up to get Dolph out of there.... that they were just waiting for him to say something else they could nail him on.
Maryland it seems never complained at all about what Dolph said. So who did? Who has wanted Dolph gone more than anyone else? Yep, Mad Fran. I don't know how the Iowa fans can cheer on that turd.
