The guy cost the university millions of dollars because of ineptitude. Do you think they want him out there on the front lines of this?
Yeah well Iowa hasn't really been up front and honest about this entire situation so I understand Howe's logic in not going to them first with all of that. Also, Rob didn't publish his opinions or use excerpts from DJK's statements and comment throughout the entire story. He simply gave DJK a platform to tell his story.
There's another dumb "you just want Iowa's program to suck" take, used to try and shift away from the problem at hand.
Dang....I think that's a pretty realistic prediction of how this is all gonna go.
I don't think it's about what you want. I think it matters way more what the players want.
Most of the victims think there needs to be serious change. I do think the only way that could happen is KF to be gone or if KF somehow survives this he'll have to let Doyle and Brian go

If Kirk has violated rules, I don't think it matters what the players want honestly. Former players are bringing in legal council, some are going to the ACLU and EEOC, I'm sure the NCAA will get involved too. This is not going to be as simple as Iowa's trying to make it in which they're forming a little council and that council will decide each person's fate.
Just because he writes for the Journal Star doesn't make him a beat writer. Steve Sipple is a Nebraska slappy and would happily gargle Tom Osborne's balls if he asked him.
Don't know who this guy has talked to but damn.. This guy says he's heard from folks close to the program that Kirk's out.
This. Honestly I don't think KF has the ability to change the program either. It's been that bad for so long. Like I said if I were an Iowa fan I would absolutely want him gone but then again I don't support racism and abuse
Kirk won't let the players take too many questions because he probably only gave them 1-2 answers to use and doesn't want that to seem obvious. Kirk will say he is going back to review (like his review the tape answer when asked about issues during the game) what has happened. Will say things are fluid and that they change, but they are taking this seriously. Will mention that he wishes they would have came to him personally (so he could squelch it honestly), because that would have been easier to handle directly and at the time. He will also not remember specific instances and/or he can't discuss it because it is confidential player information.
He will also pin the worst and nearly 100% on Doyle to avoid his son taking heat. He may be willing to throw another position coach under the bus to help baby ferentz out also.
If you're an Iowa fan, think about it from this perspective. Kirk is leaving soon anyway. His reputation is tarnished. This is probably the only way to not have Brian be the next head coach.
I’ll believe it when I see it. I could potentially see this being kirk’s last year, but I don’t think they’ll fire him less than three months before the season starts. Plus, who do they bring in? If Ferentz goes they certainly can’t bring in his son.
