You’re confused. The internal investigation and the subsequent suit are separate and distinct. Both were extensively covered by national and local media organizations.
Chris Doyle doing live interview w/ Keith Murphy at 12:00 CT Today
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Doyle was loud and a prick in the Facility but He was no racist and that comes straight from the mouth of a former Player who is Kin and got His arse reamed many times in training by Doyle . So all You virtue signalling experts who have no real knowledge of the Team STFU , He was the best and Iowa lost the LOS and the respect of a good number of former Players when Kirk threw Doyle under the bus and kept Brian who acted the EXACT same way as Doyle. Both or none and it should have been none was the exact words I was told . There was not a single racist Coach on that staff , that is for certain. Hard asses who got loud and made harsh comments at times yes , racists no.
Did he have a gag order in place to receive his parting gifts?
Outside of being a racist prick, sure, he should still be at Iowa.
There were 15+ players that said Doyle had made many racist statements and treated the black players differently than the white players. That's the proof and cause.
Did he force them to listen to country music?
When those harsh statements are directed towards one race more than the other, it certainly questions whether that person is racist or not. You are correct that Brian should have been shown the door at the same time Doyle was.
The nerve of Tristan Wirfs thanking Doyle after he got drafted. He must have turned a blind eye to all that racism!
Lol at all of this. Those 15 losers jumped on the boat of the everybody is a racist movement. They got their 40k payday which is all they wanted since they couldn't cut it like real players like Wirfs.
Hope Wadley enjoyed his new car. I'm sure he'll be pawning it soon. Hopefully his mom changed the fire alarm battery after he got paid

Alright toothless right wing mother ****er you want to spew your political bullshit go to a different forum.
Yeah, it is weird after all this time there are a bunch of posters on here that dont think Doyle was a racist or some such finding was made for Doyle's actions toward players. Isn't this a settled matter.
I am not wasting my time listening to this interview but what now Doyle denies he did this stuff?
Of course he would have, Kirk doesn't fire people.
Exactly. These guys weren’t good enough players, nor tough enough, to be Hawkeyes - let alone succeed in the NFL. They wanted some $$, and grabbed some.
Hawk alumni like James Daniels are the ones we fans should listen to. He credits Doyle and BF for helping him get to the NFL but also said change should begin with them. He wasn’t looking for a payout or insisting that people get fired.
Wirfs grew up in Solon with a white mom. I don’t think Doyle was racist based on skin color alone. He was racist towards a culture that was different than his own and let them know it often. If there are that many players and former players that had issues with Doyle, it was time for him to move on. Sorry you can’t see that through your biased glasses.
Not that but I agree the lawsuit was bogus but the grievances by many players, including ones who were not part of the money grab, were not bogus. Change was needed.
Ahhhhh... so Doyle was like, hey wirfs has a white mom, I should coach him completely different! Makes total sense for sure
I wonder if that same “objective” investigation would find that Deion sanders also runs a program that perpetuates racial and cultural bias because he also does not let players where hats and makes them show up on time to meetings, practice , and workouts.
Iowa, KF, and Doyle were easy targets based on the social narrative at the time and perfect storm of many events completely unrelated to football.
Doyle was likely an asshole and idiot - and you could argue that plus the rhabdo was plenty to get him fired. But the Iowa program got railroaded by the same forces that would have taken down 80% of the programs in the country if they also had the same “objective” investigation with the same pressures. Barta and the political pressures were the common denominator in both the Doyle and gambling “scandals” that again, 80% of the country would have been in the same boat.
Ps - I’m a liberal (independently thinking) - which is only relevant because of the social context that drove the entire sham!

No idiot. Wirfs grew up in about as white as an environmental as they come. Hell, Wirfs even listens to country music. The culture that Doyle routinely chastised wasn’t small town Iowa culture, it was big city urban black culture. He should have known better.
Man.. i love bone thugs and 2pac. Now you're calling me names???? Sounds like you're taking a page out of Doyle's playbook you racist.
Today I've learned Wirfs was free from systematic racism because he liked country music. Amazing
Somebody get this guy 40k so he can buy a Challenger!
the fact that Cpt Loyalty to a fault hasn't spoken to him since tells me all I need to know.
I don’t believe Kirk threw Chris under the bus. I think Chris took a bullet. I also don’t think Chris was picking on black people. He picked on everyone. In that way he was like Dirty Harry Callahan; he hated everybody. Not literally, but symbolically.
But he caught up in a time when it was financially expedient to do so.

Imagine spending 21 years at a job working with members of a race you think are beneath you, every day, by choice.

Basically an old school hard ass probably said things like 'pull your damn pants up' or whatever, and this is what happens.
I can't even.
I can't even.
Kirk threw Doyle under the bus to save Brian too. Can’t forget that. They both should have been gone or neither one.
A lot of truths can be true at the same time. He should’ve been fired along with Brian. Seth Wallace being accused of demeaning an OL player because of his developmental disability? I hope he never becomes head coach.
They said it on social media they did not say it when it came time to give a deposition and they would be held accountable if they lied.
They were lying to get paid and you're a full blown retard....
Precisely. ^^ Insinuations and heresay spread on social media DO NOT EQUAL actual facts and truth. How many of the complaintants were willing to give legally binding testimony to actual racism? Zero.
I always find it interesting that people automatically equate race/color with culture...as if there's some monolithic behavior pattern that everyone of a certain color adheres to or identifies with. Seems pretty racist and stereotypical.
