Last night, Feb 26, Jack McCaffery made it clear he won't be attending Iowa
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Probably for the best. It does make me wonder if Fran would consider another job, if another high-level school were interested. Be glad to see Patrick go with him.
Patrick has been a bonehead play waiting to happen his entire career
Jack to Butler, Connor making coffee for the Pacers, looks like Fran may be moving to Indy!
Almost played the Sycamore course on Sunday, too cold until it was too late.
Greatest moment in sports history. So effing funnyAnother of my favorites, I laughed my butt off when this happened live.
You play 32 games a year for 4 years means you play as rue frosh and an iron man for 4 years never missing games due to sickness or injury. You make scoring 1,000 points sound so easy and in the history of Iowa basketball that makes you top 50 all time. Pair that with rebounds and assists and Iowa probably hasn’t had 10 players accomplish these 3 totals. Players like Garza, Bohannon, and the Murray brothers didn’t get over your “slope”.

He’s been immersed in this program for most of his life. Might want to break out on his own. I never considered staying at home for college and luckily I was financially able to go elsewhere and start trying to be a grownup.
I agree. The negative fans get all the attention from the players. Ever notice how Kirk and the players talk the same way? Hardly mentions the fans....it's always "all we care about is who is in the locker room." I wonder how much football players would play without fans/revenue?
No other school has fans that complain excessively on the Internet.
Franwich in a nutshell. Some coaches’ best moments are leading their teams to Sweet Sixteens, Final Fours, or sometimes even a Natty. Franwich’s is when he stared down one of the worst officials in CBB who’s 3 feet shorter than him.
1) Good luck to the young man academically wherever he lands.
2) Good luck to the young man athletically wherever he lands.
3) Good luck to the young man finding a school that doesn't have plenty of knee-jerk negative keyboard warrior fans who take things too seriously and go too far occasionally.

This is hardly the first kid who has mentioned fan negativity. Nobody wants to hear that though…
Accountability is something that’s good for others, not them….😛
I don’t think he’s going anywhere.maybe that means dad won't be at Iowa very long
Because Iowa is the only university with negative fans.
LOL….funny comment. I’ve been trying to get people to realize this for years.
Iowa fans aren’t smart, their not enlightened, they aren’t specially gifted with a coach who plays the wrong guys, coach’s poorly, etc…
“That fan“ is the same on every single board in America always up in arms about the damn coach losing a game for them…
And yes, the kids notice, and it becomes more of a thing all the time. I’m always glad to hear players call out bullshit.
People have to pay for their ignorant takes.
Nope….he doesn’t. He thinks fans that always bitch are the worst…🤷♂️ you missed it!
Incessantly b*tching about players/coaches = bad
I’m essentially b*tching about posters b*tching = admirable and allows poster to feel better than others.
Keep of the good fight
Both can be true…🤷♂️ they aren’t mutually exclusive 😊….
Utterly useless on both accounts! Much less of both would be good?👍
I honestly think Iowa’s fan base is better than most when it comes to negativity. Most fan bases wouldn’t have put up with the CMac and Brian Ferentz situations for so long.
“The fan base”? You mean the negative posters here who know so little about the game?
Sorry, you can only reach “complete obliviousness to irony” status if you post this on Twitter.
Yes and he is on the leadership committee, @OutbackBowl2017 has been here spreading sunshine for a long time…. A charter member.
Question - wasn't it reported like last summer that Jack had indicated he didn't want to go to Iowa like his brothers?
I work in a public place where Iowa sports is part of the daily conversation. It's not at all uncommon that I hear someone repeat something almost verbatim that's been posted on this site.
Plus, people that post on this site are expressing their same thoughts elsewhere.
Players can't go to class without hearing something (whether it be positive or negative) about their team/play.
The roll of the fan is to support, period. So you're either working for your team or you're working against them
Sure, but you're kidding yourself if you think Connor and Patrick didn't get more than their fair share solely due to their last names.
Both were good players at Iowa - not great, but not terrible like some would like to argue. Connor dealt with injuries for much of his team which greatly affected his mobility; Patrick likewise has had to deal with more healthwise than most of the posters on this board - it makes me disappointed in fellow Iowa fans when they take potshots at Patrick when he had to take time to deal with his mental health issues.
Hope for the best for Jack - preferably at a non-big 10 school.
Iowa is the only team I care about and I don't appreciate the negative fans potentially hurting my team
So if iowa fans don’t support Brian Ferentz, they are working against the team?!! Got it! Thanks for clearing that one up. Take a lap and a break.
No where on earth will an athlete be able to escape negativity and criticism on social media.
It doesn't matter if you like it, that's simply the way the world is.
Best thing one can do to avoid it is not have a Twitter account.
Kids don't know what message boards are just like they don't know what a lazer disc is.
Fan disapproval has no positive value. There are well paid AD's that are plenty capable of making decisions in regards to the employment of their coaches
