A poster had recently sat next to someone who claimed to be Grouwinkel. Wanted to know if in fact this man was still alive. Responses affirmed that he is, and end of story.

 

[jabberjaw]

Oh, yeah, he's alive.

From the wikipedia article on Ray Nagel:

Less than twelve months after the Black Boycott, the athletic department found itself in a state of turmoil again. Nagel had one year left on his contract, and he was looking for an extension. Rumors of a feud between Nagel and Evashevski had existed for years. In December 1969, Ted Lawrence, Iowa's freshman coach and the father of Iowa quarterback Larry Lawrence, resigned to take a job in the private sector. Lawrence later blasted Nagel and his coaching staff for having a lack of compassion for their players.

In January 1970, Nagel dismissed offensive line coach Gary Grouwinkel for "disloyalty," which Grouwinkel later revealed was his allegiance to Evy instead of Nagel. Less than one month later, star quarterback Larry Lawrence and fullback Tom Smith quit the team and transferred to Miami, loudly proclaiming that they would never stay and play for Nagel.

About two weeks later, Lawrence's roommate, a non-athlete, submitted to the Iowa Board of Athletics a written statement charging Evy with participating in a rebellion aimed at getting Nagel fired and that would allow Evy to succeed him as head football coach. Lawrence's roommate stated that Lawrence was recruited to gather player support for Nagel's removal, but that Lawrence's efforts were unproductive. Evy vehemently denied the charges, and Iowa's athletic board took no action.

Pretty much everything Evy did after the 1960 season was douchebaggery. Pushed Brechler and then took his job. Hand picked Burns. Tried to take the HC job back after sacking Burns but was stopped by the Athletic Board. Immediately started a feud with Nagel after the Athletic Board hired him by default because no one else would touch the job with a ten-foot pole because of Evy. He forced Nagel out, although the Athletic Board rehired Nagel for the 1970 season because it was too late to hire anyone else, but the real damage was that Miller got fed up and left. The Athletic Board finally showed Evy the door when he flunked an investigation by the State Auditor and AG.

Even Gary Barta thinks that was handled poorly.

And he knows a little something about that.

What did the investigation reveal?

What did the investigation reveal?

Improper reporting of expense accounts and a witch hunt against Nagel.
