Doubtful, he's managed to hang on to one of the best football coaches in America for chump change...plus he has our basketball program ready to break into the second round of the B10 tourney any year now. Seriously though, doubtful he would lose his job...the fact of the matter is that women's sports don't pay the bills and the cash cow is in green pastures.

Probably shouldn't go here, but what the ............
Barta's like herpes, you can suppress him the majority of the time, but he seems to pop or flare up on occasion.

Assistant Attorney General George Carroll, representing the university, said it was Meyer’s clashes with coaches, including Kirk Ferentz (football), Rick Heller (baseball) and Tom Brands (wrestling) that led to an uncomfortable work environment. He said Barta spoke to her about his concerns, but nothing changed.
At the staff meeting at which Barta announced Griesbaum’s dismissal, Carroll said Meyer berated her boss in a manner that could have led to her being fired on the spot, since she was an at-will employee.
“This was open insubordination toward her boss,” Carroll said. “Gary had the full right to fire her on Aug. 4 with that outburst. He chose not to.”
Carroll said the mood of the department improved after Meyer was reassigned, and agreed that when her job in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences ended Sept. 9, there was no thought of bringing her back to athletics.
“The ‘why’ is the critical inquiry in this case,” Carroll told the jury. “It had everything to do with her behaviors and the fact that the Iowa athletic department was ready to move on. …
“Mr. Barta did not care about her same-sex relationship. That’s a red herring in this case.”
The trial is expected to last three weeks.

If Kirk wants him to stay, he ain't going anywhere short of him murdering someone.

Should be interesting if they call up KF as a witness. They're gonna ask him point blank if he ever said that. I'm sure he'll just use some long winded answer and then start reminiscing about the Hayden days in the 80s

Unless she has proof of it in an email or some other witness they're not going to ask him that.
"Did you ever tell Mr. Barta that you preferred not to work with Ms. Meyer?"
"No."
