I remember one season they won the division with like 3 weeks left in the season.

NW doesn't have the local media in their pocket the way Iowa does.

Yea for this to go from a 2 week suspension to a firing in 3 days leads me to believe more heads will roll. This was handled very poorly.

Here's to another 25 years!

I don’t think this gets him off.

They took care of their problem in Iowa City....Barta and Doyle.

The Moon Family Dynasty will live on.

Ok….

Yeah, I always find it hard to believe when programs try to play the 'coach didnt know' card. These guys at this level come off as control freaks who are very detail-oriented. From instilling a culture to ensure it wouldnt happen among players, to making sure other staff are on the lookout to nip that **** in the bud quickly, etc, multiple points of failure have to exist for things like this to go on for any length of time. More often than not, if they didn't know its because they actively didn't want to.

CMC's seat just got a bit warmer. "Ok, so he/his staff didn't know,". "Why the hell not?"

 

[JP4CY]

I hope he was fired because he's actually a terrible person and not because of the low amount of wins, recently.

 

[madguy30]

Ok….

Which means the division was so weak there was nobody around to compete with NW.

Merged

AKA being the tallest midget….

I think I was not picking up your initial intent of the post; if so my apologies.

If your intent was that NW was so dominant that season that they won the division w 3 weeks prior to the season being completed; well, I’ll just see my way out…

Interesting development. Guessing he has a job by next April.
