Just curious, will you be an Iowa fan when Fran is no longer the coach?
I’ll just leave this here. Not that I expect you to ever admit that you are a dumbass.

lehigh went to the ncaa tournament the year before fran took over. uncg went to the ncaas frans 2nd year there, and this board has made it clear the first 2 years in a program are not his responsibility.
A school asking permission from Barta to talk to Fran is not an offer. The argument from Barta was that Pitt had expressed some interest in Fran, that is not an offer. Fran should have gone and Barta should have let him go if Fran really had serious Pitt interest. Whatever good Reputation FRan has been blown with a 3 year run middle of the pack B-ball in B1G.
Really about the only good thing I can say about Alford at this point is that when he left it didn't cost Iowa any money in a buy out.
I have a generally positive view of Fran's tenure. While relatively mediocre and undistinguished as to team performance, there have been enough good moments to keep interest at times. Him taking another position and leaving of his own accord, thus saving Iowa from a buy out, would only add to his positives.
Barta, on the other hand, has demonstrated his incompetence multiple times. Including this instance.
True and far more reasonable people allow a grace period for the new coach to get his guys in place and let the old coach’s move on. Not this group though. What’s wrong with some of you people, seriously?
In before I hear a nine year grace period comment. I’m talking about Fran’s first two or three years.
@danloney is just mad that the team is not popular enough for him to rip off iowa fans by lying about his seat locations and when selling his seats every year due to "illness"
Why do you feel the need to insult those who disagree with you? You are somewhat satisfied with the results. Fine. Many of us are tired of watching the team fall apart and it makes it worse when our head coach has acted like a fool on occasion. With the amount of resources our university has, I personally think it’s ok to want to raise the bar and not just settle for the status
Making up facts is NOT disagreeing.
I enjoy the back and forth and this site. But cite FACTS not bullshit statements.
Message boards are sometimes a place where people come to express their frustration or their joy regarding their teams. Sometimes it goes too far one way or the other but it is what it is. We aren’t doing research papers here.
People are frustrated with the tean’s collapse. Many of us feel it’s time to move on. The FACT is, it really doesn’t matter because Fran will be back next year if he wants to be.
