John Raymon on why he left Iowa

[vegashawki]

Sounds like a complete *** hole.

Side note, my brother wants tickets in the first row behind nebby's bench next year so he can yell at Kaz all game. That's all he wants to do. He literally hates the man.

**** you Coach K. **** You!!

Wow.

Classy.

 

[imported_ankle23]

LOTS of fans liked him because he was fiery and yelled at people.

interesting isn't it? can't have passion w/o acting in an out-of-control way? some lessons to be found there, i think.......

 

[ICbornNraised]

Wow.

Classy.

Thanks.

I'm confused on the timeline here. Article says he just had a baby, and he doesn't want to go far away from said baby. Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, but if he enrolled at Iowa in August, he already knew baby was on the way...

not necessarily.

not necessarily.

I suppose it's possible. I haven't been watching Maury lately...

A lot of things can happen once he actually met the child, held the child and fell in love with the child. He probably doesn't want to leave it.

Similar to your wife. She's has never met me, but if I ever met her. She wouldn't care to go back to you either.

Lesson to be learned: sometimes things can work themselves out if you have a little fortitude and stick to it. If he would've stuck around, his situation might not be so confused right now.

 

[MoseSchrute]

I'm glad coach K is gone but I'm even happier about where he went.

No kidding; I really hope he works his "magic" there.

My brother worked for Iowa football team for a few years and spent time in the offices with the coaches. he was in his the kitchen area with some players eating some chips from the bag and he said Kaz ripped him a new one for eating chips the wrong way and that he shouldn't put his hand in the bag.

funny thing was it was his personal bag of chips. I laugh every time, and my brother said Kaz was hated by most

Did he double dip that chip?

No dipping, just the method of removal from bag was in question

maybe he got a phone call.....or a tweet.....

Now that's good stuff, right there

Am I correct in thinking Anthony Fergusen is still taking classes at Iowa.

This is one player specifically saying he did not get along the best with Coach K. That is life. I don't have any hard feelings toward Coach K. In fact, I am surprised at the 'good riddance' messages that have appeared since Coach K's departure. Most fans did not have a problem with Coach K before he announced his decision to leave. All of a sudden he is an ahole, etc.

Life goes on folks. We don't know the ins and outs of relationships Coach K developed with his players. Raymon is the first player who has publically made a comment about Coack K so I think we should refrain from bashing Coach K ... He made a move that he felt would help him professionally. So be it. We all make moves within our own jobs; especially if we think better opportunities await us. You can't fault a person for that ... I think drawing our own conclusions based on something one former player said is not warranted in this situation.

Some speculate Coach K was shown the door. Not sure how people draw that conclusion. Remember how many of us have complained about how "loyal" Kirk is to his staff so I question the idea of Coach K being shown the door.

Interesting how people can all of a sudden turn on someone ... Coach K did nothing bad ... He made a move professionally ... So be it ...

We aren't drawing conclusions based on something one former player said.

We're drawing conclusions based on:
1) multiple private comments from current and former players and staff
2) JDM reporting that KF called coach K on the carpet earlier this year re his approach
3) first-hand observation of K on the sidelines
4) unusually high attrition at this position
5) Raymon's public comments

I once heard a teacher instruct a student on the proper way to peel a banana because he had peeled it in 3 segments and (apparently) 4 was "the right way" to do it. True story.
