I'm very interested to hear Sears' response to this but I'm betting he ignores it.
Or they aren’t morons and know that a position coach going to KF to say that his best buddy and son are racist is probably not going to work out well for their careers.
No, it's totally accurate that people are questioning this. But there's a reason behind it...we've seen this before. Doyle puts 13 players in the hospital, iowa does an "internal" investigation and magically finds that they did no wrong. And then KF gives Doyle a one time only assistant coach of the year award as basically a big F U to anyone questioning him. I'm sorry, but he has a nice history of either sweeping things under the rug or playing dumb when anyone questions him. Forgive ISU fans for being skeptical of the whole thing.
Maybe the "investigation" will be a little more serious now that the ESPN article and Howe's FOI was published, but until then, most of us thought of it as a way to defuse the whole situation after Doyle was made the scapegoat.
Yeah, i doubt anything will come of it. These 'independent' investigations know who is writing the check.
Sure, but they also have to think about future clients. There are a lot of eyes on this especially after the ESPN article. If they just come out an exonerate KF, they are going to lose a lot of credibility.
#1 with a bullet, lead article on ESPN.com, https://www.espn.com/
I have a friend that is not a lawyer, but works for high profile management consulting firm, McKinsey. He says they are periodically retained to investigate high level corporate malfeasance or incompetence.
His opinion is that you will be able to immediately tell if this law firm was directed to provide cover or not. Instead of just providing findings, if there is a concluding section on “Recommendations”, he would suspect the firm was helping in a coverup.
A bullet list of 8 - 10 recommendations on ways to improve the culture of Iowa football allows Barta and KKKirk to hold a press conference and immediately say they will adopt the recommendations. Thereby establishing a path forward that includes KKKirk.
Will you quit beating around the bush. It's very simple:1) Has Iowa had a racist culture for 21 years under Ferentz or not? 2) Did Ferentz lie when he said in the June press conference that not one black player had complained to him about mistreatment and inequality? The answer is a resounding YES to me on both questions. If the answer is YES, shouldn't K. Ferentz and his son be fired? How much proof do you need? If something like this happened at ISU, I would immediately cancel my season tickets and demand that a total shakeup is needed. No ifs or buts!
Keith Murphy, Andy Fales, and ALL the local media are spineless on this matter.
