We have seen programs explode when a coach stays way too long and has too much power. That situation seems to be going on at Iowa where Kirk Ferentz is showing similar signs of a program needing a change at its highest position.
The recent news is that Iowa has settled a lawsuit from 12 former black players that alleged racial discrimination from Ferentz and his staff. Iowa has settled the lawsuit with a $4.175 payment to the former players who were looking for $20M and the dismissal of AD Gary Barta, both Kirk and Brian Ferentz. The coaches were removed from the lawsuit but one of the Board Members who agreed to settle the case called for Iowa to review the employment of Barta and Brian Ferentz.
