Xmas32 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Whew, that DJK account was something. Ferentz and Doyle come off looking absolutely horrible. On a side note, this isn't directly applicable but speaks to the player/media relationship. Good article from Banner Society. https://www.bannersociety.com/2020/6/8/21284593/marvin-wilson-mike-norvell-college-athletes-media-policy Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ha...Get ready for a "I am going to retire" letter coming out from those two in a few days. My coaching buddy that is a huge Iowa fan says he doesn't think Kirk will do the old "I am going to spend more time with my family" bit and is safe. He said the SC coach is probably getting canned.

suh_fan93 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Gut says there's no way Iowa would/will let Ferentz go unless more stories come out and they get worse. Could be wrong. I don't think these stories coming out are bs either. Still think he'll slide on by and continue being their HC. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I really think it will only happen if more stuff comes out and/or if this becomes a protesting thing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It might get a little dicey for Ferentz IMO. Your all time leading receiver accusing you of blackballing his career and working against you every minute you were on campus is not a good look, nor is not including your son in the investigation. I know he said the degree of accusations was not the same, but if there are credible accusations I don't see why Brian wouldn't be on leave as well. I could see this going a couple of ways - DJK didn't flat out say there were racist motives (at least from Kirk), but asked white players to come forward if they also had been treated harshly. If none have any similar experiences, it's going to be hard to hide it all behind Doyle. That's not some scrub who wouldn't have played anyway complaining that he was overlooked, that's one of their best receivers of all time. If non-black players come forward with similar punishments/requirements and other former players come to their defense as well, it will mostly be swept away as "being a little too tough on some snowflakes" and Doyle will be the fall guy. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd be absolutely stunned if either of those guys voluntarily stepped down, they make too much money. Ferentz's contract in particular is a work of art and his agent should receive some type of award. 1 Quote Link to comment

I hear Kirk picks up his checks wearing a ski mask and holding a switchblade...because he is robbing them. Quote Link to comment
Rochelobe Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Columnist for USAToday offers his opinion: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2020/06/09/iowa-football-kirk-ferentz-looking-ill-suited-lead-change/5329678002/ Doesn't look good for Ferentz. The comment about 8-5 seasons made me laugh. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Oh man. Maybe the only thing he has going for him is that he is at Iowa, which means there is a chance this story goes away fast because well, it is Iowa. Quote Link to comment

Toe Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Press conference Friday at 2pm CDT with K. Ferentz and three players. Doyle is probably toast (already suspended), probably some other staff shakeups and punishments, but I doubt they'll be shopping for a new head coach. Families of black former Hawkeyes are starting to organize Iowa Announces Friday Afternoon Press Conference For Kirk Ferentz, 3 Players Quote Link to comment
