You say that like Connor is good
Anyone ever listen to Fran on his call in show or post game? No wonder the team has no identity. I dont believe he knows what his teams identity is supposed to be. He rambles for 10 minutes when asked a simple questions and you feel stupider after listening to it.
If you're going to fire him, this is the year to do it. Sure you lose out on Connor McCaffery but I'm sure Wieskamp will come to Iowa no matter who is coaching and that kid is a stud.

He's good at dominating small school Iowa basketball. We'll see if he's a good college player and ISU fans will likely enjoy every minute of it.
Empty seats will hopefully force the AD's hand into firing him after this year. That is what did in Lickliter after only three years.
Wasn't Fran not that good in college too? Maybe I could be wrong but I thought he was like a 5ppg role player
I remember when ISU beat ND in the NCAA tourney and posters here were convinced they would fire Mike Brey and hire Frannypants. While ND is not good this year and things will get worse with Colson out for 8 weeks, they have been to a couple of Elite 8’s since then and Fran has well, been mad.
The problem for Iowa is Patrick is legit good. Connor was never the kid who was going to be a star, Patrick is.
I hope Iowa keeps him around.

All joking aside, I don't see how Fran doesn't pull a McDermott at the end of the season. Find a mid-major with some history of success and offer a package deal - 3 McCaffrey's for the price of 1.
I don't like it as an ISU fan but it is his only way out of this mess without destroying his son's opportunities.
If he and Barta want to continue to flounder, more power to them.

He’s Dan McCarney. Emotional, loaded up with in state players to get the locals excited. He got them to the best of the bad teams of the conference as they regressed.
Hes just not good enough of a coach to take another step
If they're happy with Fran, then I'm more than pleased. This was supposed to be an up season for them because "development" and "height". Fran just runs out a bunch of tall lanky guys with (apparently) little to no thought of recruiting and developing a team. He's always had a couple of nice players, but there's never much player development or chemistry.
He's basically toe's Wayne Morgan. Similar winning percentages, Fran's 3 NCAA's in 7 years with 2 wins vs Wayne's 1 NCAA in 3 years and 1 win...

Well we do have 11 currently ranked teams left on our schedule. Iowa has um 2.
We’re not struggling. We’re doing exactly what everyone thought we would do. Might even be a bit ahead of schedule from what I thought would happen. Plus we have had a bunch of injuries.
I'm betting there is a whole lot of this
and this
with a little bit of this sprinkled in
