I really don't think Fran will be fired this season but, the fans have started to turn on him, his players appear to not believe in their system and his antics on the sideline have been an black-eye on the program/Athletic Department for years. Fran's is on the "warm" seat, and he is aware that things need to turn around next year or it will be elevated to hot.

I am curious if Fran would look taking the same path Coach McD did at ISU. Doug wasn't going to be fired the year he left even with the fan base growing apathy and missing the tournament (though he had the issue with transfers leaving), yet he jumped at a lower MVC Creighton job rather than walk into a presumed last season and possibly not get a Head Coaching opportunity if he was let go after another bad year.

Could Fran look at a lower level which he had previous success at to avoid another bad year and not getting even that opportunity if fired?

One difference is that, incredibly, McD didn't have to take a pay cut when he moved down. That whole thing still blows my mind, despite working out for all involved.

I have no idea if pride or money is more of a motivation for Fran. If it's pride, he may do exactly what you're you saying a take a job at a smaller school out east before he gets run out at Iowa. If it's money, he hangs on to the bitter end and maxes our his earnings in IC. I pray to God that money is his primary motivation.
 
Can't see how Wieskamp stays rated that high. My god Muscatine got beat in December 100 - 40 to Bettendorf!! The team is like 7-6 right now. Must be using the Fran McCaffery rotation. It's been working flawlessly for Iowa this year. Breaking him into the system already I see.

For three ******* years I've been looking forward to Fran on the court with two of his boys and Margaret a row back. If this doesn't happen I will be pissed.

I get your point, but I don't think the team outside of JW is very good...

This seems to be your go-to besides "link?". One of us does take message boards too seriously. I'm guessing it's the guy that isn't a Cyclone fan that posts around 30 times a day.

No, its the guy that asks someone if they "regret" anything they posted on this board.

No regrets here. Keep telling me how you dont take this board serious though.

You wouldn't disappear the way you do if you didn't take this seriously.
