Fran needs to go and unfortunately the only way to make this happen is for the hawks to get embarrassed. Would you like to see the basketball program burn this season to get a new coach?
It worked for for me when I had wished BF would lead us to new depths of a horrible offense..... ;)
 
I see it all the time - a 15-year coach who has made only a handful of NCAA Tourneys and who regularly has embarrassing performances in them suddenly turns the program around in year 16 or 17....
Don't forget he was 0-14 years making an Sweet6 before he got to Iowa. Even Lickliter and Alford had Sweet16 on there resumes.
His futily is going on 29 years of coaching as it looks like a good bet Iowa won't be in a Sweet16 this year.

I came to conclusion way back when he had Uthoff and JOk and all senior/veteran team that flopped that his system/approach is fundamentally flawed. Everybody that goes to Sweet16s and better play good defense/rebound. You can't win in NCAA toruney with our good guard play and good defense.


Garza and Murray's gave us some hope that he might Fran might be able to do something special and those teams all flamed out. It seems pretty obvious that when you have have a coach with 28 years of never getting it done, he's highly unlikely to suddenly stumble on to a winning formulat in years 29 and beyond.
