Brian goes on angry tirade at halftime...

Yeah, that's what I thought. Dude has some serious anger issues going on IMO. Tremendous pressure on him to succeed with Daddy as head coach, because fans will turn on you very quickly with the nepotism thing if they don't see results quickly, and the last thing you want to do is put pressure on your Dad to fire you. I know Brian works for Barta, and not Daddy, per U of I rules, but we all know that Daddy runs the show there and Brian won't be gone unless Daddy says so.

Roid rage!:mad:
 
It's pretty amazing that he is not getting suspended. Neither by the B1G nor by daddy.

Not getting any kind of punishment whatsoever should really teach him a lesson. He grew up as a privileged kid and was coddled along, then Daddy got him some decent coaching jobs after college, and then eventually hired him at Iowa, and climbed him right up the ladder and he's already the next in line for head coach.

So not even getting a slap on the wrist for this should really cure his tantrums.

The crazy thing he's not even the most entitled son of a head coach in that athletic department
 
The thing I find really disturbing (other than the whole making an official feel so physically threatened that he calls security) is that he had the hand breaking incident not that long ago and apparently has learned nothing about anger management. Rather than punishment, it seems like he needs some help, whether therapy or medical intervention if he needs it. The two incidents together seem unusual even for football coaches. I guess you can't really check him for CTE though.

While picking corn the hawk call in show came on. I was too bored to change the channel. Fishman addressed this when the first caller said he like Brian going psycho on the refs. He said BF was stressed out because the Steelers offered him the OC job there and he didn't know what to do. Barta met with him though and offered him a 4 year $4MM year contract. Kirk then said that Brian taking that showed his commitment to the hawks, because he thought it would be hard to raise a family on that.


Also, they had Tom Brands on, I'm not sure exactly what he was talking about, seemed wound up about a bologna sandwich. I'm still confused.
 
As reported Brian Ferentz went on an angry tirade against the replay officials at halftime of the Minnesota game up in the press box. Even the Iowa beat writers were very disturbed by it. Can't imagine Iowa getting many of the 50/50 calls for a while.
Funny troll job, did you post this same thread on actual Iowa boards too? I think 'the team out east' has had a bit of trying season, but to me no different than any other year.
 
As opposed to Kirk and his staff (which includes 6-7 African Americans) being a bunch of racists? All the other players on the roster are apparently fine with it?

Seriously?

Man, I know why I don't visit the ISR board very often anymore.

You are free to leave and never come back if that helps any?

The one post regarding a player calling the Hawkeyes football program out for racism piqued my interest a bit. It's not conclusive evidence or anything, but I've found a few interesting nuggets.

It seems the Hawkeyes have consistently been in the top 10 for most white starters for years now, leading even Wisconsin.

A breakdown of their roster vs. the members of their player policy setting "Leadership Group" is also an interesting exercise. The roster has 82 white players and 36 black players. Yet you look at their, player elected, leadership group and it holds 16 white players and only 2 black players.

I'm not crying racism here, but it's a fact that Iowa football is a predominantly white football program - which is not the norm any longer.

Fran's boys are even more entitled than Brian which is saying something. Saying their AAU teammate paid to get an award so one of them didn't win it was something I couldn't believe they did. Disgusting

Never heard about this.
