The Fran fade

[iahawks]

Yes a coach who had more success at Iowa State than Fran has had in his entire career would be considered a failed hire here

He won a Big 12 Tournament Championship and got a 6 seed, two things Fran couldn't do just last year with his own guys lol

Same reason why Campbell is hailed as a savior even though he hasn't really done all that much yet?

I mean if Campbell coached in the Big Ten West his results would look A LOT different.

If Campbell coached in the BIG 10 West he'd never get past Wisconsin. They play the same game as Iowa only better and we know how that would work out for him.

Kansas, West Virginia and Baylor > Iowa by like every metric possible

I mean you lost to Iowa and weren't beating Wisconsin or Minnesota. I think you'd probably have beaten Illinois tho.

I mean I do recall Iowa fans gloating about 8 win seasons back when ISU was completely awful lol.

Yes I know playing in the Big 12 is much tougher than playing in the Big Ten West
