He's on my short list, probably second to the Drake coach.
Oh, nevermind. We've got Fran the man.

Fairleigh Dickinson's head coach is from Iowa....
- Thread starter MeetTheFerentzes
- Start date
His team looks nothing like ours. I don’t think he’d fit in.
Also, does he have any sons who play?

Never heard of his hometown.
Rule of thumb. If it’s a town you never heard of just assume it’s south and west of Des Moines.

Well alright. very cool. I have to admit, I had to look up Truro, IA. Had no idea where that was.
Epic loss by Purdue their freshman guards looked like freshman guards tonight
I believe Interstate 35 High School is in Truro.
So why did Fran go from having a stud assistant coach to sticking with dead end guys like
Dillard and Speraw for 12 years.

What was your response when Alford was hired?
Would still much rather have DeVries
How dare you mention another coach … a guy who just beat a No. 1 seed. Franiacs will tell you ‘we’ve now been to the tourney FOUR years in a row …’ Or…. ‘careful what you wish for … remember Lick/Alford…’ Remember … we’re little ‘ol Iowa… We can’t possibly do better than Fran! Who else could come in here and win 51% of conference games and ZERO Sweet 16s… We don’t know how good we’ve got it! Just wait til next year!!! 😏He's on my short list, probably second to the Drake coach.

Probably because Fran didn't like his philosophy that you need guards and play defense lol
He’s smart enough to play. 6 10” 275 center to rebound, play D in paint amd score at high percentage rates at the rim (17 points tonight )He's on my short list, probably second to the Drake coach.

if only Fran had a player like that
(hint, Fran has 1 on team)
I know you're trying to make a cute point, but GMAFB.
FTR, Pretty much the same as my reaction to the Lickliter hire: "I hope this guy can take us to the next level."
Didn't work out, but is there any doubt in anybody's mind that Tobin Anderson would have trouble at least maintaining the status quo for Iowa basketball, with a really good chance that he could surpass Fran's success?
Anyone not interested in getting this guy on board is a meek, weak, scared-to-death-of-change fan, and that portion of the fan base pisses me off to no end.

You found out tonight for the first time that he's from Iowa. You had never heard of him before tonight.
And now, after the result of one game, he's suddenly on "your" short list.
God, some of our fans are pathetic in how they overreact to a win or a loss.
Fran has the exact same philosophy with his assistants as Grandpa Kirk - don't want anyone smarter or potentially more successful than himself, just a bunch of yes-men to do his bidding.
Those same fans probably view just getting their fat ass out of bed every morning a success
Good one! Now post another twitter opinion that’s not your own.
You seem kinda angry, Fran. Is it because of your dogsh*t postseason coaching record?
You would have to change you handle if there were a coaching change.
To be fair it’s a pretty historic upset. Fran had only had these really within the confines of the big10. And in the first round with Siena? But obviously he’s never head coached in a sweet 16.
If they can win on Sunday he’ll for sure get some calls. One game alone might not be enough for p5 schools.
just pointing out the obvious that you had never heard of the FDU coach before tonight and now you want him as Iowa's next head coach???
JFC, overreact much?
well, I also call you a dumb ass, and I know that hurts your feelings
poor thing.
LOL. Gary Ratface is too busy drawing up lifetime contracts for Brian Ferentz and George Barnett to know WTF is going on in the college basketball world. He probably hasn't heard that we lost yet.
I could care less what you call me. I have an awesome life, and don’t need validation from a message board. Quick go post again, your post isn’t at the top of the board! Weren’t you also voted most sensitive poster on the OT board? Have a great night Frannie, I’m bored with you.
Hopefully by next year it's "Darianisdaman" or "Tobinisdaman".... I'll take either
FTR, I started looking his stuff up during the First Four game the other night. Very impressive team he built in 1 year.
I'll bet you never heard of Brad Stevens before Butler went to the Final Four, either. Good coaches get discovered in the Big Dance.
Ironic
You care, insane one. That's why you keep replying.
Yeah, your life is so awesome that you're currently bringing up supposed polls from the Off Topic board.
Dumb ass.
