I'm convinced many people don't even know what racism actually is these days.....Still iffy on the whole situation after listening to WuW with Daniels and Lomax. 90% of the “racist” issues they talk about seems to just being upset they couldn’t act how they wanted. The fact that some of their biggest concerns were that they couldn’t have earrings, hats, and had to listen to country music is just.... idk. Hopefully they got what they wanted out of the results.
To miss on Parks? Thoughts?

No some coaches caused Parks to think hard about Iowa’s culture.In the long run if things get addressed, we will be fine.To miss on Parks? Thoughts?

Maybe, maybe not.Maybe some people should admit that Whittingham won a pitch over Ferentz on getting a kid to come to his U. Whittingham good coach. Should be no shame here. The staff will find a good alternative
Exactly.. and if these things listed in the post as grievances were a big part of the issue at Iowa, then it wasn't racism that was the problem.I'm convinced many people don't even know what racism actually is these days.....
I cringed when reading a quote from Hankins literally saying there is "systematic racism" within the program.
Strong words, young fella.
Given the current social climate it was close enough that Doyle couldn't stay around and be productive.Exactly.. and if these things listed in the post as grievances were a big part of the issue at Iowa, then it wasn't racism that was the problem.
On both side!!!I'm convinced many people don't even know what racism actually is these days.....

Right now L’Oréal is being racist by saying they are removing the words whitening from their products. What is next no whitening toothpaste, Ivory soap, or white bread?Google might not be able to recognize racism is right now
..........I have no inside knowledge, but do not expect the comments by former players had any bearing on Parks decision. I am sure that someone will feel differently, but there were at least two black players lobbying hard for Parks to come to Iowa (Oladokun and Belton). Dane’s father has been a very vocal supporter of the Iowa coaching staff in the Tampa area as well. Tom Lemming just said in an interview this week that Kirk is in the top 5% of coaches, both college and the NFL, that he has interviewed in his 40 plus years following recruits.
I love how old white guys are trying to justify what racism means...GTFOH

So its meaning is limited by race?I love how old white guys are trying to justify what racism means...GTFOH

Yes but Kirk does not recruit in the top 5 percent.
Discipline and teamwork - playing for each other and not yourself. Yes, you might lose some of your "personal habits", but that's part of what makes up a good football program.
If your son came home from the 1st day of football practice and said he was told he couldn't wear a hat in the football building, or listen to the music he wanted, send out tweets when he wanted or have an occasional food fight at the training table ... what would you say? You would say, "boo hoo. Grow up". Then later, if he missed a meeting and was suspended for a game, you would say, "See! That's what you get when you screw up".
But if it happens to someone else's kid, we say favoritism, racism or that KF is trying to be a king.
These kids have the rest of their lives to "be themselves". For 4 or 5 years, they get free college and are asked to be a part of a team.
When did this become so bad?

you cannot just toss doyle aside and expect all this stuff to go awayI cringed when reading a quote from Hankins literally saying there is "systematic racism" within the program.

maybe so but if you are a recruit do you want to go to iowa where you might have to change, or go somewhere else where you don't?That isnt what they were saying. They talked at length about the need for a buffer period between when you first arrive and to get accumulated. Imagine going to a school and getting punished for having a buzz cut, wearing kahkis, and not having tattoos. They were saying that it was a culture shock. That once you get in the doghouse it was a slippery slope and impossible to get out. They were getting into doghouse because this isnt how they were raised.
