A "shame?" How so? KF Family Football has milked its fans for tens of millions of dollars for well over 20 years. Why all the tears and angst for a multimillionaire football coach? I would humbly suggest saving those for the homeless, the starving, and the victims of war and authoritarian regimes at home and around the world.It would be a shame if "forced termination" ends Kirk's run as the Iowa head football coach.
A "shame"? If KF weren't such an arrogant, stubborn, conservative old man Iowa football would be thriving and no one would be having these conversations. If KF had put Iowa football ahead of his son's career, nobody would be having these conversations. The shame, in the context of college football, is that KF has never understood that offense is legal and, in fact, necessary to the game. He has tolerated it from those backyard types like Brad Banks and Drew Tate and Ricky Stanzi and CJ Beathard, but he didn't like it.
Turning Iowa football into a national laughingstock has one author--Kirk Ferentz. The real "shame" is that nobody who can do something about it will.
