I’d tell him to set the goals that will beat Iowa State, get Iowa to the NCAA tournament next year and to advance beyond the first round. We will then review them in one month.

Beth: “Ya know coach, starting the majority of white guys hasn’t worked well for any team in 40 years. Time for “Opposite George”!I’d tell him to set the goals that will beat Iowa State, get Iowa to the NCAA tournament next year and to advance beyond the first round. We will then review them in one month.
I don’t get this part. One month into the season?We will then review them in one month.
Links?I don’t think Beth can do anything.
Getting rid of Brian came from the president. Barta said, no, I will just retire.
Beth said sure, what do I have to lose and it might put me in a good light. If Beth was truly an ass kicker with power Fran would be done already.
Fran stays until he wants to retire or the president wants him gone.
Yer killin' it Fran. Keep up the good work. We're all behind you. 😉
It’s an observation based on what I see, but you know that.Links?

So, your conclusion is that BG, who has been the permanent AD for 2 1/2 months, not firing a 14-year head coach, the winningest in school history, 1 year removed from a 5-year run of NCAA Tourney appearances (counting 2020), who still has 4 years and ~$14M guaranteed on his contract, proves that she has no power or ambition and is only a puppet/enforcer for Barb Wilson? Cool. What other "observations" have you had?It’s an observation based on what I see, but you know that.
Doesn’t take a triple PHD in sports history to see the men’s program sucks, given the money of the Big Ten. anybody with power and ambition would change things.
How would you know this?I don’t think Beth can do anything.

On #3. Can we swap out a regular season B1G title for B? Or at least as a B1G title or S16?1. Time to make a move with your staff Fran. Sherm needs to go, not sure what he does. You must hire a defensive specialist coach who can coach up the boys to some level of competence.
2. Hit the portal for an experienced, pure PG and combo guard at the very least.
3. a) Next year = Big Dance, b) Two years = Sweet 16, c) Three years = you're gone if 3a and 3b doesn't happen.
Bye???I’d tell him to set the goals that will beat Iowa State, get Iowa to the NCAA tournament next year and to advance beyond the first round. We will then review them in one month.
Yes it absolutely proves that. And NCAA tournaments aren't good enough they've never been good enough. That's a loser mentality.So, your conclusion is that BG, who has been the permanent AD for 2 1/2 months, not firing a 14-year head coach, the winningest in school history, 1 year removed from a 5-year run of NCAA Tourney appearances (counting 2020), who still has 4 years and ~$14M guaranteed on his contract, proves that she has no power or ambition and is only a puppet/enforcer for Barb Wilson?

Only the "obvious" ones, apparently. Such a brain dead take by that guy.So, your conclusion is that BG, who has been the permanent AD for 2 1/2 months, not firing a 14-year head coach, the winningest in school history, 1 year removed from a 5-year run of NCAA Tourney appearances (counting 2020), who still has 4 years and ~$14M guaranteed on his contract, proves that she has no power or ambition and is only a puppet/enforcer for Barb Wilson?

This is 100 percent not true… BG made the call.I don’t think Beth can do anything.

Yep. Give him enough rope to hang himself.Bye???
One of the 64 best basketball programs in the country. Laudable goal.Yes it absolutely proves that. And NCAA tournaments aren't good enough they've never been good enough. That's a loser mentality.
He had an average season, nothing too terrible and nothing too great either. He has the foundation for a good team next year so I want to see significant improvement. Maybe 3-5 more wins in the regular season, 2-3 more wins in the Big 10. And then I would do whatever needed to be done to keep his current players here and help him find whatever players he needs to fill out the roster.
I've gotten tired of calling people out on that fallacy...but I still feel obligated to do so.This is 100 percent not true… BG made the call.
I think FM's leash would have been much tighter had Iowa been to, say, 3-4 Sweet 16s in the 11 seasons that preceded his arrival. He's still living a bit off of the goodwill he gained by digging the program out of the doldrums...but that goodwill is fading fast.One of the 64 best basketball programs in the country. Laudable goal.
