Coach Fran McCaffery's Big Ten Peers. They had to be here at least part of the time Fran was. And the Team had to be part of the Big Ten the whole time Fran has been at Iowa. So Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers are out. See if you can guess who these guys are. I'll give you minor hints.

First one is free:
Fran McCaffery: 42-48 (By the way, all records are going to be Big Ten regular season games only.)

Hint: These are coaches that were here when McCaffery was hired, and are still here:

1) 49-77. His first five years? 33-55
2) 171-66. His first five years? 55-25
3) 77-66. His first five years? 43-47
4) 101-75. His first five years? 52-34
5) 231-106. His first five years? 59-25
6) 132-59. His first five years? 55-29

Hint: These are coaches that were fired or left the team since McCaffery was hired:

7) 41-95. This guy left to take a different job. 1st four years? 12-52. Last four years? 29-43
8) 89-65. His last five years? 41-49
9) 70-150. His last five years? 34-56
10) 46-62. His last five years? 38-52

Hint: Spring Chickens. Hires after Fran McCaffery:

11) 14-21
12) 15-56
13) 24-30
14) 12-24

Good luck! I'll post the answers later. All stats came from Wiki. I updated one based on a game from yesterday...so, others MAY be off by a game.
