Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

[Cyclonscin]

I'm beyond sick of this conversation taking over otherwise valuable threads. Discuss it here instead.

No, he's fantastic. A legend. You cannot get rid of a legend.

Lifetime contract for Ol' Granny Glasses. I love that their basketball program is associated with pasty whiny b*tches.

I don’t think it really matters. CC might end being the death of the Iowa MBB program. Which is hilarious.

 

[GrayerClone]

They should move on but I don't know that they will. I hope they keep him for awhile yet.

If I were them yes get rid of this turd. But for the rest of the basketball world, no, hes great, keep him forever.

 

[inCyteful]

Lifetime Contract.

Obviously, anyone but an Iowa fan would say NO.
The Iowa fans I know want him gone.

It takes time to rebuild what Lick did. His 2027 recruiting class is going to be legendary. Just give him time.

 

[Cyclone06]

Just petition the Big 10 to play every home game on Friday-Sunday. That's all the guy needs to get to the next level.

 

[xboxfever]

Without Fran though, pasty, nerdy, fugly virgin white kids will have no place to play basketball anymore. I say stay.

This trolling Iowa Fan say NO.

Hes been go like 10 tournaments in 14 years but I'm a troll for thinking he should be back? Maybe you're a troll for thinking they would ever consider firing a guy with that much success?

He'll leave on his own terms, they aren't going to make another Davis to Alford mistake.

They ate actually tied with Purdue and Wisconsin for 2nd most appearances in that time frame. They aren't firing a coach like that.

But yet he's still 6-7 this year with no good players and a bunch of freshman? They are probably the least talented team in the Big 10 right now and are still around .500.

This is the dumbest **** I've ever read in the history of this message board.

I honestly don't give a **** what they do either way. I just know they aren't firing a guy who just came off 5 straight tourneys and is 14-10 in a rebuilding year.

It's one year, start winning again and the fans will come back. If it's still **** attendance and apathy 2 years from now I'd say you have a good argument.

Personally I think he'll leave on his own terms either this year or next so it won't get to that point.

 

[Al_4_State]

They should, but I really hope they don't. Especially if Greggy goes to OSU and DeVries goes to Creighton.

 

[JP4CY]

Serious question. Last Sunday they play Illinois at home.
Will there be more Orange Krush vs Iowa fans at that one?

[KennyPratt42]

Unless they lose out or something close he’ll be back for next year I’d think. But another missed tournament next year and he likely would be done (and probably even if it’s a bubble season with low attendance again).

 

[intrepid27]

How can you get rid of your all time winningest coach??? Anyone can recruit but Fran CREATES his own players. We've already seen the end of the Barta era, so it would be nice to keep Franny around for entertainment purposes.

 

[CycloneVet]

You don’t just move on from the all time winningest coach of your program. The man is a legend and he says when he goes

 

[CRcyclone6]

Keep him!
