Fran McCaffery will miss Sunday's game after testing positive for COVID

[Franisdaman]

There are no gimme's in the B10, any team can beat any other team on a given day.

Wait a gosh darn minute!

I was told that any Iowa loss is 100% unacceptable.

Are you saying that's unreasonable?

 

[Franisdaman]

What are the testing protocols? I'm surprised he'd even take a test - I'm assuming he's vaccinated.

the entire team/coaches/support staff is vaccinated.

but, yes, the current protocols are what's in question

 

[Franisdaman]

What if they loose the game to minny

they better not loose!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

No shit,.. who will the haters blame if Fran isn't there to take the flak?

they will still blame Fran.

What we will hear:

Fran hired these dumb bleep assistants!!!

Billy Taylor followed Fran's instructions!!! This is all on Fran!!!

Fire Fran!!!

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

WTF?????

Lots of people on here get their news from Facebook posts apparently

 

[kcgolfer]

Hope he recovers quickly!

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

What if they loose the game to minny

What if Iowa wins out?

I know right. If he's not there on Sunday he can't possibly have anything to do with the outcome. I mean, it's not like anything he's done and set in place all year right up until gametime could possibly have any bearing on how the team plays or who starts and gets the most playing time, right? That's completely on the assistants who I am sure are operating with complete freedom and independence in all aspects of game and personnel management. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they threw out a completely different starting lineup from what Fran's used all year. I doubt that Fran even hired those guys.

What’s gonna happen when Keegan gets two fouls in the first half!?

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

in-game coaching

Sorry? Is that Greek?

Fran. This is all on his dumb ass.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Bench Joe T for the last 12 minutes of the second half.

PLAY JBLOW!

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Fire Fran!!!

ThasswhutImtalkinbout!

 

[IllQChawk]

Billy Tylor will coach like a good little solder he is and run out the same starting lineup that has taken the floor all season. Nothing will change.

Not quite sure how I moved them, but let’s recap and see:

@Rifler said “No shit,.. who will the haters blame if Fran isn't there to take the flak?”

You replied “What if IOWA starts fast and are up 20 at half ?”

I pointed out where people bitched about Fran after being up 16 to this exact same team on the road three weeks ago. (* up 20 3:17 into the 2nd half).

Where I see the goal post being moved is when you asked if it was the same game that Iowa was up 3 with 90 seconds. That would be the definition of moving goal posts.

Trolling seems to be your MO and I’ve no time for that approach…

 

[topherchris20]

or posters like you constantly changing the gold posts…

Wut? Were you trying so say move the goal posts? Do better

Mine is that Fran can't coach for shit.

C'mon, guys. Shake hands and let's all come out swinging ...

on Fran!

Fran could literally change public perception of himself in 3 games if he wanted to, which pisses me off even more

I agree. Start his youngest son now. Just get the shit out of the way.

Which one of you closet coaches have gotten a call from Fran or Gary to coach this weekend? It's the perfect time for you to show you're the best coach on this forum....

I did.

Fran said, "Don't worry about it. I've been on cruise control for 12 years. There'll be Falbos pies delivered at halftime. Make sure nobody eats more than two slices."

 

[BlameIt]

Interesting that Fran chose Taylor to guide the team over Dillard and Speraw

Had to choose Billy or Sherm. Pretty much required during February. 🤷‍♂️

Shooter Flatch drunk as a skunk would coach circles around the Mick from Philly.

Fran is a bum.

This wins the Internet today. Well done, sir (or ma'am). Well done.

 

[Hendy hawk]

No shit,.. who will the haters blame if Fran isn't there to take the flak?

Or start the wrong players, Or substitute the wrong players, Or ----------------nm

 

[Hendy hawk]

Then we finish the season slightly lower in the bottom half of the Big Ten and remain just as irrelevant as if we win?

And so it will be

 

[Hendy hawk]

They better tighten it up then

Tighten what up?

 

[Hendy hawk]

What if Iowa wins out?

That would be great!!!!!

 

[Hendy hawk]

they better not loose!!!

Sure hope they win but that is why they play them.
Never know what will happen in a game

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

And so it will be

How often has Iowa finished in the bottom half of the B1G under Fran?

 

[Hendy hawk]

I would guess not often.
Not going to look it up.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

How often has Iowa finished in the bottom half of the B1G under Fran?

40%

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

40%

Show your math, Genius.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

And so it will be.

It's 2022 dude,.. no college kids live with Mom & Dad.

No, only 30 somethings.

Interested in what you think McCaffery's public perception is. I assure you it isn't what's reflected on this forum.

Sorry but i had no say in the roster creation which is 75% of coaching.

Yeah, because thats how it works.

Pitiful attempt at being clever.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Fran will probably get a T from home. And whoever coaches the team, please play Keegan, Kris, Joe T, Perkins, and Ulis to close out both halves.
