The Fran fade

No matter how you spin it, Prohm has accomplished more at ISU than Fran ever will at Iowa.

That is alarming.
Yep. And somehow Iowa fans want to s*** on prohm and act like ISU should have fired him ages ago. If Prohm had done what he's done at ISU at iowa, my God can you imagine!? They'd have a statue of him by now and clamoring he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

The kicker out of ALL of this is we aren't even talking about the extremely high level of talent he keeps bringing in from the high school level. Heck, he even stole Foster who by many of the Iowa poster on this board said Foster was a lock for Iowa

Iowa fans "you should fire Prohm!"

Iowa State fans "you should never fire Fran!"

The meltdown over here is glorious! and yet you wonder why we can't look away?
 
This seems like a pretty stupid statement but I will entertain it. Prohm the year before went 9-9 in the conference (middle of the pack) and finshed ranked #24. Not great and alot of people were upset by that (i was let down by that for sure) but then we came back and won the big 12 tournament and made the NCAA tourney. So sort of an upward swing then a bad exit in the tourney. Regardless, there was a lot to be happy about and look forward too. Then last year happened. Thats the first year, IMO, that prohm has looked completely incompetent at his job. You don't fire someone after one season of that. Has he made coaching blunders along the way? Heck yes. But if you are trying to figure out why CSP hasn't been fired for what hes done maybe take a look at how terrible of a coaching job Fran has done over his time and tell me why he is still there. Im glad he is though cause he will fall back to where he and that iowa basketball program belong which is in the tank.


That's fine and all. I mean I get that if I were the AD I wouldn't fire him. As a fan, (if I were stuck in hell and was an ISU fan), then I'd want him fired now. Don't act like plenty on this site don't feel the same way. Plus lets face it, even those who say that don't want him fired now, say that if he has another down year he should go. Well guess what, ISU is gonna struggle yet again next year, so you are just delaying the inevitable.
 
As an Iowa fan I want Prohm in Ames forever. In my post I said if I were an ISU fan I'd want him fired.

So you're trying to convince Iowa State fans to call for our coaches job?

If I was an Iowa fan I'd want to give Fran an extension. I mean you're one bad hire from being back to the Lickliter days and you can't do any better than Fran anyways. You should feel lucky to have him!
 
A major conference tournament title and a 6 seed. Neither of which your 60 something year old coach has accomplished in his career


Is he really 60? Isn't there another little Fran who is like a middle schooler? Dude was an old man when he started breeding the wife.
