Thank Goodness Kirk Ferentz didn't come to Ann Arbor

Would you want to send your son to play for Kirk Ferentz at Iowa right now? I'm guessing no.

The Iowa program is a complete mess at the moment and it seems to be getting worse by the minute.

The Iowa state Board of Regents is planning to have a special meeting this week to address a letter sent to University of Iowa officials by the mother of the alleged victim of the alleged Hillcrest Hall sexual assault involving Iowa football players last fall.

The mother's letter alleges that the Iowa Football program asked her daughter to keep this matter "quiet and in-house".

The two Iowa players involved are Clemmie Jevon Pugh and Abeberell Satterfield.

Warrants for the arrest of Satterfield and Everson were not issued until May 29, more than a week after Mason received the second letter from the mother of the alleged victim. The men later surrendered to authorities. Satterfield has been charged with second- and third-degree sexual abuse. Everson has been charged with, and has pleaded not guilty to, second-degree sexual abuse. Satterfield will plead not guilty, according to his attorney.

The Iowa Program is a complete mess and they are almost averaging an arrest a month. Something has to change and it's hard to believe but Kirk Ferentz job is on the line. This program and case seems very similar to Colorado and Gary Barrnet. Gary very much like Kirk was the toast of the town when he was with Northwestern and now is searching for any program to hire him. Gary could not get past the mess he made at Colorado and Kirk might be heading in that same direction.

Just think for a moment if Michigan had hired Kirk this winter and allegations like this came out (of course this matter happen after Michigan would have hired him), Michigan would have had to fire it's new coach after just hiring him. Not good! There has been a long pattern of questionable activity in Iowa City from players living in government funded homes to a long line of criminal activity.

I'm not saying Kirk was involved in the "keeping quiet" part or that he will lose his job. But something stinks in Iowa City and the captain always goes down with the ship. The Iowa Hawkeye boat is sinking and sinking fast. Kirk might coach like Vince Lombardi but if he doesn't clean up this program, it won't matter one bit.

Just this weekend: Defensive end Riley Reiff, an incoming freshman from South Dakota, was arrested after allegedly leading at least eight Iowa City police officers on a 20-minute foot chase, multiple media outlets reported. The 19-year-old pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of public intoxication and interference with official acts.

Do you think Kirk is looking forward to addressing the media this week at the Big Ten Kickoff in Chicago?
