Iowa has lost as the higher seed the last three tourneys

I don't care about other teams and their coaches.

Maybe we should give Fran a raise and extension. Name Connor "coach in waiting"?
So what you are is someone who has no relationship with reality. Or, you think your opinion trumps all other opinions. Of course what happens at other programs has meaning. Another option is that you are just an asshat

Painter is a better coach than fran. End of story.
He has 6 sweet sixteens and one elite eight. Made the tournament in 15/19 years. 4 regular season big ten titles and runner up times. Finished top 4 of the big ten 14/18 years.
If you are dumb enough to compare painter to fran then you are only left with one conclusion and that is fran is not good enough.

Who the hell compared Fran to Painter? Not me you fool. I only offered up Painter's results in his last three NCAA appearances since the OP trashed Fran for his last three, but maybe reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Hey fool. Several people brought up Virginia and painter. Perhaps you should read the thread and try to keep up.
I mean you have to be a special kind of stupid to mock someone’s reading ability when you obviously aren’t paying attention or reading.

For me it is the teams Iowa loses to, the way they lose, and at critical times (football too) year after year. Then the powers-to-be do not make changes to obvious shortcomings on the field or off the field. IMO, it just demoralizes a lot of the fan base.
Yes, the self absorbed portion of the fanbase who have unreal expectations that have either never been realized before or have only been realized every 50 years, or so, can not handle disappointment

Again, I only referenced last three NCAA appearances by Purdue to put things into perspective while responding to the original poster. I never said anything about Virginia. If you mean that not diverting from the original thread is a problem, then I have to ask why does anyone even start a discussion? Do you talk to everyone like that? Did you have parents? Did they just pass you through school to make the bully someone else's problem? You are one miserable SOB and you deserve all the misery you make.
 
If y’all think you can hire someone with a demonstrably better record than Fran, then great. I just don’t think that’s likely and I think anyone we hire will be a crap shoot with a lesser track record.

I'm not saying the teams weren't close, or Auburn shouldn't have been favored (especially 100 miles from home) and obviously 8 and 9 are the closest opening round seeds to the play. As in the OP title, Iowa lost as the better seed three years in a row. Clearly the committee has discussions and decided Iowa should be the 8 and not the 9.
Clearly the committee had Iowa seeded too high.

I don't know that that needs to be the only criteria.

Why are you trashing the University of Iowa?

He blew a late second half lead while collapsing to a 16-1 run ala Tom Davis. But he did it in the first round. It might be too soon.
Because every potential candidate should be judged on the basis of one game. :rolleyes:

No, when you don't think Iowa could hire someone better than Fran, that is trashing the University in my opinion.
Lol. Right. People fling specious personal attacks when they can’t make a coherent argument.
 
Since you want Fran's job for losing to lower seeds 3 years in a row, what would you do to Painter for losing to a 13th seed twice and now a 16th seed in their last three NCAA's. Hang him?
I'd take a a couple B1G regular season championships. That would check one of the many multi year droughts we're on
