A part of me thinks he wants to get fired so he can collect that 40 million. He's clearly on his way out at this point.
Kirk has to be careful not to get fired "with cause". He will slow play it...I hope it takes several years at least.

Barta will retire before he has to hire a football coach. He doesn’t want to be another Bump Elliott or forest evasheshki (however it’s spelled).Google Bump or Evy and the first thing that comes up are “four worst hires in the history of college football.” That is what is driving this.

After watching this I don't think he fires Brian. I think he's fully invested in flipping everyone the bird.

Like many long-tenured coaches before him, he's reached the senile old man stage of his career.
Kirk cannot fire Brian because the university got around its own nepotism policy by stating that Brian reports to Kirk's boss (Barta).

Lol, Barta would likely give anything to be viewed in the same stratosphere as Bump Elliott, but never will. Bump was legend.

Somebody needs to compile all of these allegations into a single easy to view list.

Somebody did back in 2020 when this broke

Looks like this is only including the racism issues and doesn't mention covering up Rhabdo, rape, assault, giving his kid income controlled housing, etc.

He knows that, but he also knows that the four previous hires (at least two by Bump) to Hayden were total disasters. And Bump is also remembered for that at Iowa. It is built into their pschye.

Pretty sure Bump is more remembered for hiring Hayden Fry, Lute Olson, Dan Gable, C. Vivian Stringer, George Raveling, Tom Davis.

By some people. By the paranoid Hawkeyes, Barta included, Cummings and FL are embedded in their pschye. Kinda what GC does for some cyclone fans and administrators.

Lol, maybe to an extreme minority but most would consider Bump the best AD in Iowa history.

Bump Elliott hired Hayden. I mean, Barta would be so thrilled at that outcome that he'd fire several other lesbians in celebration..
