I dont think those folks are saying thats what is going to happen.
That is the expectation they have next year or Fran should be toast.
If you don’t think that will happen, why not can him now instead of waiting for him to fail more?
Martin Sheen needs to be sent upriver to terminate Fran's command.
If ISU AD has cash to consider a new north end zone, you should have more than enough to pack him up.
Seriously, Barta really crapped all over Iowa’s BB fans with that. I know Pollard made some less than desirable contracts, but at least when CPR got his, he had just picked off a #2 and made a bowl. Barta gave it after an NIT nonetheless and then tried to hide it.

Fran: Are my methods unsound?
Response: I don't see any method at all, sir.

And then there's Chad Leistikow:
"Hey, man, you don't talk to the Coach. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a Point Center in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "Defense" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'No' is the middle word in turnover? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..."
Fran has mentally checked out on the season I think. As have the players.
I think he realized that it could trigger a clause to void the buyout. He probably has his wife waving 10 fingers at him to remind him to calm down.
I assume my donation dollars were included in that somehow or another. If you fire Fran next year it'll be double what Rhoads' was. Yikes!
