Hok fan is fully triggered

Perhaps if Fran would have taken the Hawks to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament in his sixth season as head coach like Orr did with the Cyclones instead of struggling to even make it to the Big Dance, then Iowa fans would have built a statue in his honor as well

Thats all it takes for a statue to be built at ISU is a Sweet 16 appearance and winning 40% of your conference games?

Tom Davis and Lute Olsen would have statues in CHA if that was the case at every school.

Yikes.

Are you saying if you have a losing conference record you can't have a successful season?

No, what I am saying is winning 40% of your conference games over a 14 year career and making one Sweet 16 appearance does not warrant a statue being built in someones honor....unless you are at ISU.

He went 5-9 in conference play one year and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. I'm not sure why conference record means anything honestly

I would say 1991-92 was a successful season and we went 5-9 in conference play

There are exceptions to every rule. 5-9 is really, really, really bad. You found the exception to the rule, congrats. Did ISU have any other “successful” losing conference record seasons?

Found it. Johnny had 8 unsuccessful losing Big8 seasons and 2 “successful” losing Big8 seasons.

Are losing conference records good things? Seems when you have 10 losing Big12 season and only 2 of them are “successful, that isn’t good.

I’m pretty shocked at Orr’s struggles in the Big8 looking at his record.

I don't judge a coach off his conference record because I'm not an idiot.

Johnny has a statue for more than winning ballgames. You ever hear of Hilton Magic? He created it. He's part of every win in the building even if he's no longer with us.

Coach Orr's legacy lives on with two Head Coaches in NBA. What do you guy's want to troll next, Jack Trice's win percentage? Nile Kinnick's flying record?

LOL!!! Johnny Orr created something that doesn't exist? Wonder why Michigan doesn't have a statue of him there? He was far more successful there.
