Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[clonedude]

Didn't help the narrative when he said that this never happened at UNI either

That was my favorite part too.

They basically said to him.... "you probably were treated unfairly sometimes at UNI since you were black, right?".

And he flat out says...... "nope". He did say he couldn't speak for everyone, but it never happened to him at UNI.

Guessing tomorrow's press conference will be to announce 1) Doyle is the sacrificial lamb, 2) the players are rallying around the Ferentz boys, and 3) the University of Iowa is going to be a leader in stamping out racism. What a joke.

Ferentz: It was the workout.
Media: OK, let's go home.

Zero chance anything is said on Doyle tomorrow..

This will be about a weekly update on workouts and players after saying how unified the team is and they’ve never felt less racism in their entire life! bc kkkirk is our HC.

Ok questions?

Pat Hardy “Hey Kirk..really great of you to do this. Any changes to the offense?

Keith Murphy: “ Hi Kirk...Hope to have you again on our radio show this year, Have you and Gary Barta had a chance to reflect on things this week?”

Chad L: Hey Kirk..I know racism isn’t fair and this entire ordeal has been hard for you but are you surprised other fball programs former players haven’t come forward?


Bet you money Kirk doesn’t take 1 question actually and only the players will take questions..

Change!

come on, man. Kirk is about as good of a person as there is in the meathead world of college football.

Thoughts on his actions in the Satterfield and Everson case? How about giving a one-time made up award to Doyle as a response to Rhabdo? Real salt of the earth.

He is in the public eye. Apparently not so much behind closed doors.

"Kirk, pretty much no other team has had players speak out against the racism that is certainly prevalent in their programs yet you have had over 50. How have been able to build an environment where these young men of color can feel comfortable speaking out? It's really a testament to the culture you've built."

Perhaps it is the stupid pills I took that is preventing me from understanding your comment, but are you saying that was good of him to say he wasn’t mistreated at UNI?

Will Barta be there??? Where in the hell has this guy been hiding throughout all of this? What do they pay this simpleton for? This is his job. JFC.

Take off the black and gold blinders and it's not that hard to understand.

Good lord another Hawkeye fan site. That is exactly what was needed around here. LOL

I am sure the number of hok trolls will drop dramatically around here.....

 

[CySmurf]

I must have missed it being busy yesterday, but did Akrum Wadley's mom reveal anything interesting?

She thinks her son is a Heisman Trophy candidate...

 

[CysRage]

How do you explain Kirk dodging questions at the Zoom press conference? Capn Kirk is hiding something and he's mastering plausible deniability to keep his secrets buttoned up.

@Brodie0 Since you like to give reps, how do you explain it?

Not sure on Barta especially since it will be in person.

Someone posted on HR that he went through more cancer treatment recently and he would be considered high risk based on Covid guidelines.

HIPPA violations would fit right in the modus operandi of the eiu rules of acceptable actions.

KKKirk, how does it feel to know that your program is now the national leader in speaking out for equality? And are you excited to watch Chris Doyle redeem himself as a changed man after his suspension? It has to feel great to be in the national spotlight as a champion of change that we can all look up to.

Mark Emmert of the DMR with a detail of the legal implications. Reason enough for the silence. Which outcome provides the least downside?

Lose/lose,.... just how much.

I haven’t followed this whole story but I’m assuming Kirk had that old HS mentality where everyone had to be dressed in a suit on game day and whatever else. He never changed with the times and is now getting hammered for it.

This seems not funny in light of what is happening both in the country and at the University of Iowa.
