they set out to prove racism period. it was an invention. it was what was going on, in 2020. it was a wave of stuff like this across the usa. thank goodness most people realized it was a joke. iowa, the entire state, is not racist. thank goodness. this robert t green idiot tried to bring down ohio st and mich st and texas as well.

And you'd be OK if blacks moved on each side of you and across the street and you wouldn't have one grain of concern about that and most Iowans would think the same?

Guessing Doyle used whatever it took to “push buttons”. He crossed the line on a regular basis.

Do I think he is a racist? No. But I can see how the events can be framed to paint him as one in the court of public opinion.

Have you ever heard PP get on his guys? Even when the press is available to practices, he is ruthless - imagine that when no press is there, you'd learn some new words.

No one is going to change your mind because you are so far off on this that you're over the cliff. And for acting like someone who knows Tristan Wirfs (he likes country music, you said so) I would you'd know he went to Mt. Vernon, not Solon. Fairly positive Mt. Vernon and Solon are rivals actually.

Another thing that stood out from Doyle's interview: he said you should praise in public and criticize in private. I take that to mean that there were young players in the program that did not respond well to Doyle's calling them out in front of others.
You can say, "well if they aren't tough enough, then good riddance," but the attrition led to a lack of talent at multiple positions at Iowa. If they truly wanted to get the most out of every athlete, Kirk and Doyle should have seen the attrition as a message that some guys would have responded better to a different style of coaching.
Doyle seems to say that in the interview. He should have adapted his style to get better results from every player, especially young guys that were struggling with the culture shock of Iowa City.
