Sounds like a messy locker room in Iowa City. King clearly isn't happy about his demotion even though it's his own fault

IOWA CITY, Ia. — The Iowa football team’s culture and leadership,
such a big story in the success of the 2015 season, remains a work in progress in 2016.
“Last year’s team, it was a great leadership team,” Iowa senior cornerback Desmond King said Tuesday in the wake of news that
receiver Matt VandeBerg will miss the rest of the regular season. “There were older guys, guys that were accountable and being mature enough to take on a task and kind of evolve to a new level. I feel like this team has the ability to do it as well, but it’s going to take some time to get everybody on the same page.”
Should King’s comments be of concern to the 3-1 Hawkeyes?
To be fair, last year’s team had a core of 21 nose-to-the-grindstone seniors (20 of whom weren’t chosen in the NFL Draft) that is borderline irreplaceable.
But now that adversity is piling up for the Hawkeyes, the culture will be tested and leaders will need to emerge as they did a year ago.
“I think we’ve got a lot of glimpses of leadership on this team,” senior quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “It still is a work in progress. You’re never going to get there.”
