What is the sweet 16 equivalent? I think Kirk is much more impressive than Fran resume wise.

Kirk has made the Orange Bowl twice and Rose Bowl once. I'd compare that to Sweet 16. Winning one Orange Bowl is Elite 8 if we're trying to compare.
Yeah, it’s not close…we are a football school and now women’s basketball…❤️Top Ten finishes is the best equivalent. Kirk has multiple. Kirk’s resume is light years better.
He's nowhere near that bad. Fran is at least good on offense but horrific on defense. Brian's comps would be the running game and passing game. He was horrific at both. Brian was likely as bad at his job as any offensive coordinator ever.Fran is 0-28 in taking Teams to to a Sweet 16 and has 4 TOTAL NCAA Tourney wins , TOTAL . He is not worthy of even picking up Bryan Ferentz's soiled jock strap. He should have been terminated long ago .
Fran has to play against about 350 or so teams in D1 I believe. So one might think that waters down the pool of talent and makes it harder to get some players. At the same time BBall compared to football is easier to build a really good powerful team. Fran and Luka for two years, Keegan and Kris , all of them over 4 years and playing together . These are great to very good college players. You only need two really good to great players and good to very good players around them to win big in BballWhat is the sweet 16 equivalent?

I think it’s best for Fran to go. I would like to see him at a basketball school like Georgetown or another a Big East or ACC school where he could recruit and not have the limitations inherent in Iowa. Our low population, lack of high school pipelines, and rural setting have hindered the programs since Lute. I could see him having very sustained successful at a historically better basketball school - that just is not us.Fran needs to go
Probably the best comparison so far. However I may go so far as to the first orange bowl may have been comparable to a final four. If the four team playoff existed Iowa would have been in that mix. Just because they lost big in the orange bowl doesn't take away the body of work that year. That squad beat good teams, some quite handedly. Sometimes even really great teams get beat in their last game.Kirk has made the Orange Bowl twice and Rose Bowl once. I'd compare that to Sweet 16.
