Situation with Iowa Gymnastics coach?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
EDIT - I can no longer find anything to substantiate the below, which I thought was included in the initial press release a few days ago.

Well, let's hope there is nothing too serious here other than Mulkey-like screaming or something. But I swear gymnastics has more abusive coaches - with much lower participation - than football or men's basketball.

It’s an individual sport, with a closer relationship between coach and athlete than team sports. And therefore it’s easier for those whom groom to find targets.
Not saying this situation is sexual, just more individualized time with coach and athlete compared to team sport.
Iowa Athletics really has run the gambit for allegations. PP, racist coaches, targeting female coaches, lawsuits where they payout, … and so many more.

Honestly ,….. just look at the collection of asshat, low life, scandal ridden, foul mouthed , two faced, cheating individuals leading their major sports teams. Easily the worst group in the country
I do hope she learned a lesson in crisis management. One of the reasons (maybe the primary reason) she didn't get the AD job at MN is because the administration felt that she handled a performance enhancing drug scandal in the wrestling program poorly.
Woah, that’s where their AD was incharge of last? That was a complete sheetshow.
She went somewhere else in between.
Evidently, the admin saw that AD (who was a complete scumbag) as a motivator, cheerleader and fundraiser. The admin seemed to think that Goetz (as an assistant AD) was supposed to handle the day-to-day stuff. The coach evidently properly reported the problem. They feel like her response was inadequate.
In her defense, you hear that she was generally seen as competent and professional but she was associated with that sheetshow of an athletic department and they really needed to get rid of that stench.
As a whole the U of MN is a highly political place, oftentimes cares more about perception than reality, and seems to really be representative of the arrogance that is associated with the Twin Cities in general.
Please seek help. You are clearly an unhinged person.
It's a lot of angry words but it's mostly true. Look at these leaders and tell me which ones don't fall into multiple of the categories that were listed.
Kirk Ferentz (scandal-ridden, two-faced, cheating)
Terry Brands (foul-mouthed, low-life, asshat)
Fran (foul-mouthed, low-life, asshat)
Clark (foul-mouthed, asshat, two-faced, I'll throw in entitled for good measure)
Bluder (foul-mouthed, asshat)
This is what's leftover after they got rid of BF, Doyle and Barta.
That's before we get to the gymnastics coach.
How is Kirk two-faced and a cheater?
Why is Fran a low-life?
Why is Bluder an asshat?
How is Caitlin two-faced or an asshat?
Who gives a **** if they're foul-mouthed? You must not like Matt Campbell or Bill Fennelly in that case.
Don't forget ex-AD Loser Gary Barta and his sexual discrimination lawsuit he lost
The University of Iowa not paying contractors justs adds more to the low-life, asshat, foul-mouthed, two-faced, legacy of the University over the last 20+ years.

It's such an intense, high-pressure environment, from a very early age. Now imagine growing up like that, succeeding enough to stay in it, but not enough to be world-famous - what's your psyche like? Not good, Bob.
Now go coach and push kids to be elite, and also that's your only means of supporting yourself besides making burritos at Panch. No pressure!
It's like wrestling, but distilled to 150 proof due to less participants. Probably a miracle they aren't all insane.
