Nick Saban is not being accused of racism by several former players.
Your retorts are so weak. Think harder, Thinker.
He is a state employee, I am sure he is telling everyone in the state what he is doing within the program weekly and not leaving any details out of it.

How many former players think Kirk is a racist?

It is totally reliable to use current players. They are the ones on the "front lines" so to speak. Keep cherry picking

You are cherry picking the individuals who KF has the most power over. The most power to control their future with the program, their careers, their potential to be a part of the "NFL factory" that is Iowa football. The fear of losing that would make anyone just shut up and not speak out, hence why a lot of this has all come out from players who have left the program and KF does not have power over anymore.

Yes because like a battered spouse is always going to come forward right. When the person in question holds authority over you and even more so you have seen previous players that came forward get absolutely lit up by the media and fans they are not a reliable source.

Current players are not saying this at all, they are doing the exact opposite.

Weren’t there several AA transfers from this current team?

Has thinker finally admitted that he lied about ever being concerned about Kirk being a racist?

it’s still strange that all of the other regulars are avoiding this topic. Just the lowest of the low here trying to pretend that Kirk isn’t what he is.

Exactly the point they are still under Kirk's thumb and to say anything negative right now could be considered suicide to their future career.

Thinker can't see clearly through the black and gold glasses. He's trying to defend an undefendable program.

The one question that has never been answered by the trolls is what on earth was happening in the program that would ever prompt an African American coach to say to if you can survive playing 4 years in the Iowa football program as an African American, you can survive anything?

i mean it’s college athletics, not the ranger or seal training

Why would that ever be a thing? Why would a coach say that ?

I fail to see a story here. You all bring up past players and say the current players do not matter. Ones that transfer can go wherever they want with the current transfer rules. That has changed and not sure why that would "scare" a kid. We just had our 3/4 string wr transfer within the conference to Purdue. I am not sure his career was altered here. He is going to try to make the league as a wr in a better system. We had 2 others in 2021 leave like that to Purdue and KSU as DBs. Again I am not sure what you guys are wanting or know, but it is not making sense here.

Something happened?
According to who? Kirk? Current players and their parents?
Yes, June 2020 happened. It sucked on all levels. Not saying that for Iowa football and Kirk. It sucked that the events that lead up to it happened.

You're right. They are barely clinging to life.
They know something, but if they let it out, It would be the final nail in the coffin.
It's why none of the central Iowa reporters aren't going near the story. They could lose their whole career for reporting a single detail.
What aren't they willing to report?
