Everyone at that press conference is about to get blocked by the entire Iowa football staff and their credentials revoked. They have no idea the world of pain they are entering.
CR Gazette calling for transparency from Ferentz
- Thread starter Pope
- Start date
Dating back to the Fry years Iowa is notorious for blacklisting media members that dare to ask tough questions or publish negative things about the program. Credentials get pulled, coaches don’t do interviews, etc.
Yeah. I just thought there was something going on right now and the media was finally asking tough questions.
The Brian Ferentz press conference this afternoon was as confrontational as Iowa media gets with coaches.
Kirk needed to win 9-10 games again this year to minimize the fallout from the racism trial that starts in the offseason. If he goes say 5-7 or 6-6 he’ll get a lot less rope from Iowa fans and media. This could be the time when the bottom finally falls out for ol’ KF. I’ve always felt that he would leave with the program in a steep decline rather than on solid footing. He’s had too many things go his way with weak schedules and dodging landmines.
I wasn’t expecting him to say anything to make anyone feel better about things, but on the other hand they have painted themselves in this corner so there wasn’t anything he could say.
Well I wouldn't be able to look at my children if I sucked as bad at my job as Brian does, so maybe he should reconsider. Then again, for our sakes, he's just fine.
Do Brian’s kids live with him or are they in poor people housing to save money?
My wife used to work at UIHC and one time overheard Brian Ferentz speaking ummm very loudly about his displeasure about having to pay for parking at the hospital.
VERY GOOD.Good for them.
Iowa football needs transparency and accountability
UI officials have a long history of giving short shrift to the media’s requests on potentially unflattering topics.www.thegazette.com
But he was waving at the time, so that cancelled out the douchebaggery.
All you need to do is look at transcripts of the press conference. BF mentions something about "getting the burden off your shoulders" to one of the media members actually asking a good question. That tells you everything you need to know about how KF and BF look at the media and how scared the media are to ask these questions.
Correct, an NDA would always have an out for any law or court ordered requirement. Now a civil case, I am not as sure.
Because they know if they ask them, their credentials will be pulled.
