When I scan the Iowa bench I see what appears to be eight ( 8 ) coaches...

What are they coaching?

 

[Moral]

They are teaching them to become men with adversity.

 

[Hawks2405]

They are a high energy bunch. Gatens can help them through this because he’s use to getting throttled under Lickliter.

Dix threatens to transfer if Fran isn't fired. We've come full circle.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I can tell you what they aren't coaching.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

But they are "Frans guys".

They have a great view of this a$$ whooping and every other road a$$ whooping

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Sherm goes to 30 Hop and Iowa athletic club a lot. Really not sure what else he does

 

[HawkLogic]

Poor Gatens...a guy that was Hawkeye great, IC native, and he's got to keep his mouth zipped and be another Fran "yes man."

This is all Fran's show.

Gatens was a good player, wouldn’t call him a Hawkeye great.

When I saw this thread title, I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair--because I said the exact same thing to my wife during the broadcaast last night! And I added, "Back in 1970 we had one of the greatest teams in Iowa history (Fred Brown, John Johnson, & Co. who went 14-0 in the BIG) and Iowa had TWO coaches: Head Coach Ralph Miller and Asst. Dick Schultz. That was it. And no strength and conditioning guys, no nutrionists, no psychologists . . .

When you have a coach for every two players, and you have games like Wisconsin, USC, and UCLA, some people are left to wonder what the hell is going on . . . or something like that. LOL

Yep, coaches make more and do less these days. I've always wondered what that fat bald guy on the bench does & how much money he's paid. Head coaches now have their own entourage's. It's almost laughable.
