Time is up on Gary Barta's failures as AD!

[Clifford C. Clavin]

Fran gets beat down all the time.
1 ranked season in a decade.
No sweet sixteen.
Hasn't shown he can develop players like KFs staff, not even close.
Etc

I'd also add that Kirk has had 5 top ten seasons. Still waiting on the first for Fran. In fact, we're typically happy in basketball to be in the top half of the league standings.

time was up after he lost the lesbian lawsuit

In 2007 Todd Lickliter was coach of the year. Important people thought he was a great coach, doesn’t necessarily mean he was.

And a lot of Butler fans were on here hoping he didn't take Stevens with him because they all said he was the spoon that stirred the drink under Lickliter.

I count a grand total of 8 Big Ten championships in all sports under GB's watch in 13 years at the helm, including 4 in wrestling, and I believe only 2 by a coach that he hired. Iowa has never finished higher than 9th in Big Ten Director's Cup rankings (and that was when the conference was only 11 schools), and typically is 12th-13th.

Any other questions?

So he’s graded on B1G championships only? Got it, a lot of AD’s should be fired then.

He sure left the cupboards full when he left.

I think Raveling's vaunted recruiting abilities were at least partly a reflection of the fact that he was, at the time, a relatively rare commodity,... a black head coach, working in the Big 10 conference.

Gary Barta won Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year in 2016, has been included in several high profile NCAA committees, and was added to the CFP Selection Committee this year.

so at least a few important people disagree with you.

Thanks for posting LWC, was going to say the same thing. His baseball coach hire has been pretty good. How about the new field hockey coach.

Seems like these post only pop up after a disappointing loss. Posters stay hidden after a couple wins. Kids are working hard to improve. I think most knew this was going to be a tough year. so we need to relax and let them play ball. Let’s see what type of improvement the young players make throughout the year. And what adjustments the coaching staff make. It’s not a matter of life and death.

My father still gets MBB tickets but I don't go when I am in Iowa anymore.... not until Barta and this trash is out the door. Barta is the worst AD in the country and U of Iowa sports are a joke. Football is repairable if KF retires, BF leaves, KC is promoted to OC, Phil to HC, Polasek is sent packing and Stanley is not longer the starting QB.

Basketball is back to low spot when Alfraud and Licked were in charge. Iowa basketball needs a new George Raveling ( An African-American HC that can really recruit kids that can play above the rim).
A guy like Jerrance Howard (native to Peoria , IL) would be a positive move in the right direction. The guy is under 40, has a great recruiting rep and has played and coaches Larry Brown and Bill Self. The guy has recruited against Top 10 MBB clubs and won. Coaching experience at Mid-majors has not helped IOwa become a winner. It's time for a roll of the dice but Barta needs to be fired, to start the change.

I cannot STAND FOR FRAN anymore. He is the Sonny Corleone of Iowa Basketball.

You go girl!

Track, WBB and field hockey have all won titles in the last 8 months.

What a drama queen! Do you really think that Iowa is going to fret losing your pantied, crying, emotionally equivalent to a 3 year old ass when you refuse to attend an Iowa game and spend some quality time with your own father? So, you come back to Iowa and your Father says let's go to the game and you say no because you are in the middle of a tantrum? You are not only a drama queen, you are a stupid drama queen.You're,also, a selfish little spoiled bitch and a lousy fan.

The endless bitching about Iowa football is extremely stupid. The Iowa football program is clearly top notch. 'We gotta replace Ferentz meme' has to be the dumbest thing on this board.
