Fucking bullshit. Again, I'm MORE pissed now. Outright lies.
- "I don’t think I’ve ever announced extending a coach’s contract in the middle of the season. The reason I don’t like to do that: It distracts from playing the games, playing the season." - FALSE, as called out in the article
- “Many times, when we announce coaches’ contracts, it’s for recruiting. In this case, we didn’t need an advantage in recruiting. Recruiting’s been going fine." - Bwahahahahhahahahaha [breath] bwahahahahahahahaahaah. Seriously, F this guy with a rusty cactus.
- Barta operates under the "Win, Graduate, Do It Right" mantra. He and McCaffery align in that area. - I'll be honest, I don't want to be a sanctioned school but I have no need for the program to be a boy scout program. And I don't care if a single player graduates. No one cared if I graduated except myself and my parents. Honest question, how many of you here cared if I graduated. Answer, zero.
- "But I just did not want to have this conversation in the middle of the season. But it is what it is. And there was no conspiracy." - Oh trust me asshat, I put this all on you solely. No worries there.
- Kirk has had other opportunities, historically. - Translation, no one has wanted Kirk in a while. Did he slip and make an honest comment?
- “(McCaffery’s) were very legitimate, specific opportunities … that, frankly, may have paid him more. But he likes it here. His family likes it here — they’re very entrenched in the community.” - So it sounds like he had no reason to leave.
- “If you’re a Hawkeye basketball fan right now, you’re not happy. That’s fair. And who can you point to when you’re not happy? You point to the head coach." - Fortunately for Fran you've managed to turn the focus on your FUCKING EPIC incompetence.
So we have 1) a shitty contract, 2) an attempt to hide it, and 3) BALD FACE FUCKING LIES about trying to hide it.
