Buyout Barta Responds To Iowa Media









"I believe in him..." Iowa has no PG, can't play defense

"recruiting is going fine..." Iowa has no PG, can't play defense

"Fran is a relentless recruiter..." Iowa has no PG, can't play defense

"Fran is a great leader..." Iowa has no PG, can't play defense and the coach is a psycho on the sidelines.

"Fran has had offers but doesn't want to leave..." Why would he want to leave, he might get fired at a school that wants to win...daaaaaah

I delayed sharing the news because I was sick...nice move... PR special...sympathy... You could have sent out an e-mail about it in 10 seconds...
 


Blatantly lying about not ever releasing during the season was funny when they did it with Kirk.

I didn’t like how he said if Fran serves his contract out we will have some really good years and some not so good years. I understand that’s probabaly realistic, but shouldn’t we strive for a consistent winner?

Yeah, but Gary was sick, so it's all forgiven.
 


Whole lotta bs there. No one gives a shit what you like to do when you get comfortable with someone, Gare; you do what's best for the program and nothing about this shit sandwich is good for Iowa.

In Frans defense here.
He will run a clean program and will not cheat.

He’s not going to bring in questionable people.
He will graduate his guys.

Despite what people think, he does recruit hard. See him sitting alone watching Swanigan play all alone ( I think this is where he could use new Asst blood to help him )

All of the above make things way more challenging for him than other schools in the area. Remember that college basketball is a slime pit. Look no further than tomorrow nights opponent.

Like how Fran has tried to do things here. Wish recruiting guards and D x and o’s would change.
 


Here's how much of a dolt Barta is. Does anyone know what the rationale is for us extending Franimal? Bo Ryan coached for 12 years at Wisconsin, and only left because of his sexcapades (so I've been told). In his 12 years Bo's worst finish his worst was tied for 4th in the conference and he made the NCAA tournament EVERY SINGLE YEAR he was there. Our expectations are those of losers.

Anthony Hubbard says hello.
 




So Hubbard’s recruitment was done double secret with no one aware of his past. Give me a break.
Didn’t last long in IC did he?
 


BTW no surprise Barta can't do math. McCaffrey hasn't averaged 22 W's per year he's only averaged 18. NO wonder we can't trust Gary Barta he's a math idiot. Obviously he wasn't educated in Iowa, or maybe he was! 2nd there so what...I thought Fran was all in. What "other opportunities" are we talking about Siena, some other bottom dwelling team? Were they going to offer $2.5M/yr. and a $10M buyout? Doubtful! Or was it one of the other S Bag power 5 programs that are pitiful. This is a freaking joke.

Barta also said he and Fran were in total agreement W's, graduation and something else...are W's FIRST on that list or last Gary....let me ask you.
 


Fucking bullshit. Again, I'm MORE pissed now. Outright lies.

  1. "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
  2. “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.
  3. 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.
  4. "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.
  5. Kirk has had other opportunities, historically. - Translation, no one has wanted Kirk in a while. Did he slip and make an honest comment?
  6. “(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.
  7. “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.

What he said! Don't forget Gary stating that Fran has won an average of 22 games/yr. Did he think we wouldn't go out and look?! Oh wait those of us that did can do math it actually comes up to only 18 wins/yr. Gary 18! You idiot Barta!
 


Graduate the guys IS an expectation at Iowa.
And it does present a challenge.
If you just want to win, we’re gonna have baggage...look around.
Ok it is at other institutions because other Universities that have won more games than we have have = Graduation rates. I'm not saying recruit guys with video tapes of them hitting women I would have a problem with that....but there are a TON of kids that are decent students. The graduation argument is a red herring.
