Yea in the conclusion it reads that current players were uniform in their view that the program has implemented immediate and positive change but are cautiously optimistic that the coaching staff is listening to their concerns and having genuine conversations.
This is the point at which either something that was in a back pocket comes out that strongly refutes the findings, or this all goes away as was the plan.
I hate when either fanbase blows comments like this out of proportion. So what if a player wants to beat a rival? There is nothing wrong with that. This whole competition to prove who cares less is incredibly stupid. If you only play 12 games, you're God damn right I would want to win every single one of them.
Also, I'm guessing the Robert T Green crew will continue to drip out statements all throughout the season. This isn't going away despite what KKKirk wants.
I don't think there will be a reason to drip out the statements after the press conference today. If he has something major it will come out and show how bad TOE has stepped on their own *****.
Because almost certainly his separation agreement contained a gag order assures he can never speak on this topic. Thus, firing Doyle has the optics that we "did something" AND mitigated future exposure. IMO it's the only smart thing Barta has done since this started.

Current players are skeptical, but some on the team made some robotic statements that their current coach, with a record of blackballing players with his NFL connections, is capable leading the necessary change.
Former players, even those with accusations included a couple that said they should clean house, a few that have said KF is capable of making the necessary changes, but a vast majority have remained silent on the matter.
The local media turn that to "Current and former players, even those that made accusations overwhelmingly support KF and believe he is the guy to lead this change."
This has never been the truth, but they keep parroting this. The best you can say is that there has NOT been an overwhelming call for KF to be fired by former players, and certainly not from current players. But the fact is there simply has not been broad support stating that KF should be retained. It was very clear how this was going to go after McNutt was first interviewed. Him saying that KF did not necessarily need to be let go, and that he believed KF was capable of making changes in the program turned into some statement of not just support, but that KF was uniquely qualified as THE guy needed to make this happen.
Wow my source on personnel changes was right again? Probably will have an email from Kakert here soon asking for my info
