If you don't want to read all that the basis of it is...

Wadley states Brian Ferentz called him a “dumb mother ****er” while on his way to take an exam.

Wadley also states Kirk Ferentz gave him note cards on what to say in press conferences. He also states he turned to alcohol to cope with the constant put downs by the coaching staff. He also states Kirk Ferentz threatened to take away his meal card. Kirk followed through on this and Wadley had to call his mom to get a Domino’s pizza.

Wadley states Brian Ferentz wanted someone on the OLine to injure Reggie Spearman because he hated him and wished he wasn’t there.

Ferentz and Belicheat are Butt buddies. This doesn’t surprise me.

Dude that comes off the worst in that story is Brian Ferentz and he seems to have a history of being a shithead.

Wasn't Kirk Ferentz always rumored to be a candidate for the Chiefs HC position, before we got Andy?

God, dodged a bullet there.

Apparently there's a big story from that program in general few weeks ago that I missed......guess that program is about to burn down.

Imagine my surprise to learn that coaches at a high level are hard on their athletes...

I don't buy that any of this is racial, and I've heard far worse accounts from some other programs/sports. Coaches say some pretty terrible shit to white kids to get them to leave their scholarship for the next improvement.

A few weeks ago there was a press conference and I kept hearing that there were accusations but no specifics. When it came out, I got the impression that coaches didn't give the players all of the freedom to "express themselves" as much as they wanted. I guess some of it would depend on context and perception. If you're not used to getting red-assed for mistakes, you're going to take it harder than someone who has been parented/coached hard before.

If Wadley hated it so much, why did he try to get Iowa to recruit his brother?

Yeah I seem to recall hearing something about that too, although I don't care at all about Iowa football.

KF was rumored a lot 2003 for a lot of positions. He quit looking at the NFL after that.

Yea some of those stories come off far worse than just they were being hard on them....

He is a complete POS. There is no question about that.

I'll let you all figure out why he wasn't given his walking papers like Doyle.

tear down his statue

Kinda sounds like a pussy.

Reading Kallenberger's post on why he quit is pretty infuriating to read. Especially having a couple of people in my family that deal with ADHD...

Being a shithead to a white person isnt racist. Being a shithead to a black person is automatically racist. The focus should be coaches being shitheads. I've heard far worse from coaches when I played ball in high school. Granted that was 17 or 18 years ago, and Im glad coaches are becoming more player friendly but everything isn't automatically racist.

Not a surprise. **** Iowa.
