Fran: "It's none of your business what the last play call was."

[DenverTurtle]

It is none of our business. Maybe I just think differently, but he is coaching a game, for student-athletes to participate in. He answers to Gary Barta and above, not the average fan and definitely not the media.
It is not his fault if we the fans let a student athlete game take control of our lives! Step back, realize there are a few things more important than a game! If this ruins your weekend or next week or even next season, take that step back and don't become so heavily involved with it.

yes, Gary Barta is Fran's boss, not the fans or the media. That said Fran is required to speak with the media and the collective opinion the fans have of Fran influences Gary Barta. Look at the pressure the fan base put on Barta over Kirk Ferentz until the 12-0 season that just went down.
My point is that Fran's relationship with the media and fans is like any professional's relationship with colleagues. No, there is no direct line of authority but getting along and being well liked makes success much easier and more likely.

Yes they would. They suck. Period. Gesell, Clemons and Woodbury had nothing but open looks and missed all but 1. It is indisputable that this group of seniors are habitual chokers, horrendous offensive players and mentally weak. Stop defending the players. They are d1 friggin scholarship players who have never been able to get it. Players need to execute. That's on them not Fran. Only a dope would deny that.

Only a dope wouldnt understand there is an issue with both.

Woot is selling a shirt I think all the players should wear in warmups next game.

BAU for Fran. Hate it when he cuts reporters off before they finish their question. Just a rude person.

Outcoached?

3 seniors went 2-20. he can't play the game for them.

He had 4 damn years to design plays where they could at least get some open lay-ups.

Well now I know you didn't pay attention. They missed multiple lay ups there smart guy.

The unnecessary Woodbury reverse lay up miss ring a bell?
