Last month the HR Department fired Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz, but since he still has a job in real life we're again calling for his tenure at Iowa to end now that one of the players injured during an excessive workout in January says he still can't play football.
DB Willie Lowe said recently that he isn't sure if he'll be able to play ever again and wants to sit out a year to regain his strength. He also said he lost 20 pounds and suffers from headaches every few days.
Ferentz said all 13 players hospitalized following the January workout have been medically cleared to play, but Lowe begs to differ and so do the parents of some other injured players. According to ESPN, at least two players who were medically cleared are still experiencing symptoms from the workout.
Lowe has asked for permission to transfer, but he's not the one who should be leaving Iowa. Ferentz approved the workout, he didn't seem to care when he found out his players had been hospitalized, and he has yet to apologize for what happened. As the head coach he is responsible for his players. He ignored that obligation. He should be fired.
