Todd was awful and the dagger for him being shit canned was Iowa looking lifeless at Wisconsin and Minnesota at the end of his Iowa tenure. This is where Iowa is again. Fran is done here

Funny enough texting buddy and he referenced those games where it was just a chore for us to get 40 and we looked like an unathletic juco team.

 

[BVHawkeye]

Pathetic basketball! Embarrassing!

Bit too late for that.

I haven't stopped laughing since early in the first half on Tuesday night.

 

[Legs94]

He should stay in California and be a fire fighter. He’s probably more qualified to do that than coach

 

[Greenway4Prez]

He sold his house in June, he looks like he absolutely does not care what happens on the floor…he is CHECKED OUT.

This is real? Where’s he living?

I’ve been saying I heard this before the season even started.

I still can’t believe nobody back there has heard this.

Iowa has a top 20 NIL according to this article. Where is the money going??? This needs to be going to recruiting efforts.

But, but, but....

"You can't fire the winningest coach in program history."

"Remember Tom Davis"

"Fran's been above .500 in the B1G the last x years"

"Who you going to hire?"

"Remember Lick?"

"We are just Iowa"

"Lisa Bluder didn't make a sweet 16 until year x"

What are the other excuses?

Are there people out there that want Fran to stay? Looking at the attendance it appears to me the people have spoken, it’s time to head to Indy next fall and watch your youngest play his college ball.

Iowa shoul dhave fired Him Years ago, He is a horrible Coach and recruiter , Iowa will never get deep into a NCAA Tourney with Him and His allergy to Team defense , rebounding and total lack of ingame Coaching or adjustments , Iowa is asoft as the ice cream in Carver under that grifter Fran. I am actually wanting this Team to get curb stomped like Tonight the rest of the Year so the Bum is shamed into leaving , if He has any shame that is , I doubt He does.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Naaaa. Let him finish out the season.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Naaaa. Let him finish out the season.

He should have to suffer like the rest of us. But I want him gone. So does the team or at least it appears that way

 

[Gus is dead]

I just emailed Goetz. Im done. Fran needs to go tomorrow. Gatens as interim.

Another gary barta curse. That clown granted the extension.

 

[HawkOptimist]

Why would we fire him? No one could bring in the level of skinny white kids from great suburban families we have now.

Add in:

-Our fans are mean
-Bad NIL
-He deserves more time

 

[Franisdaman]

I need a little more time.

patience, my friends.

things will work out.

Oh.. and

"Our students don't show up, so that makes it hard for Fran"

[iahawkeyes17]

I expect there to be a lot of empty seats Tuesday night. But least the students are back so there is an extra 2 dozen more fans.

Iowa-AD@hawkeyesports.com

No idea what intern checks that mailbox, but they'll like my message.

 

[IllQChawk]

If only it would happen this year....oh well....clean sweep is what Iowa needs to revive the program. Fran is past his time.
14 of 15 years of Fran with 10 or more losses each year, unacceptable if Iowa is ever going to make to past the 1st week of the NCAA tournament when and if they get in again under FRAN.....

 

[Ladell-hawk]

Iowa-AD@hawkeyesports.com

I’m sure she will get right to it.

 

[Gus is dead]

I’m sure she will get right to it.

Maybe not but if enough fans write in….

 

[Herky58]

Have you had enough of Fran? I have. Does the AD need a petition ?

 

[DEMGR]

Do we still have an AD that could field these concerns?? Seems like not that long ago she was very visible when CC was bringing in all of the national media attention! Wanted to get some spotlight time then but now seems to prefer the shadows.

 

[Macbride79]

Attended the game. No cursing, just watched it.

After the end of game handshakes, Fran bolted for the locker room.

My respectful comment to him was “15 years is enough. It’s over. Step aside.” He heard it, turned his head and went faster towards the locker room door.

Felt good to say it to Fran directly.

Go ahead and rip away

 

[Greenway4Prez]

This is real? Where’s he living?

Yeah, the new owner (who used to live next to BF) contacted my work for an estimate, and we use the assessor’s site for measurements, verifying info, etc. I looked at the previous sales and sure enough, it was the place Fran built back in 16/17.

I’m not sure where he’s living now though.

 

[BirdistheWord]

That was U G L Y

He needs to hear it. Beth too.

ITS OVER

Your sentiment could be 100% accurate. But if it wasn't how you felt before the UCLA game, then it's a colossal overreaction.

Far too much of that on this board already

 

[TampaHawkfan]

Where do I sign? I rarely call for a coach's head, but: Fire Fran!

I know it won't happen midseason.. I mean now or end of season, whatever, but we need new blood. This thing has been trending the wrong way the last few years. Just not even competitive in road games here.

Incredibly immature to want Iowa to lose.

Doesn't matter if it were 100% justified for Fran to get fired. There's a well-paid AD that's capable of making that decision. And if it were to take Iowa getting curb-stomped the rest of the season (which won't happen), then maybe it's not all that clear cut of a decision at this point.

These players deserve your support and deserve every bit of success they can get.

This isn't pro sports. Tank jobs are never a good idea in college, and it's hard not to vomit at the idea of tanking in pro sports.

Want to lose Lewis, other recruits, and NIL contributions?

Now, carry on like I'm crazy, and go post on the football board how "Brian's offense" is still hurting Iowa recruiting
