I am embarrassed for having read the commentary.I don’t even click on his links. Awful. Just here for the comments assuming it was brutal
Wow, just read how Packers' ex coach Mike McCarthy went full Fran, chasing down refs in the tunnel after a game in which his step son lost by one point, screaming and yelling profanity at them. It's spreading, unfortunately.
Calling a coach a man baby is the same as calling them a m'fing cheater and a disgrace? Tell you what run around at work and start screaming at people like Fran did and see how long you last.Schwartz speaks to professionalism in the article as he calls the Coach of the Hawkeyes a Man-Baby! That's rich! He talks about McCaffery's legacy. I for one do think about his legacy being how he brought the program back from the Licklighter disaster. His temper-tantrums are not even on the radar for me. So no, not everyone thinks his tempe-tantrums are his legacy. Only the anti-Fran crowd which may include Schwartz?
Fran's comment about trying to say it in private is what set me off, knowing that what he was doing was wrong and unprofessional, but in his mind it was ok if no one else heard it. What a POS.I'm not gonna rip this guy too hard, but some fairly bad takes in there. 1st, how can you watch the other 13 teams the rest of the weekend if Iowa loses early? LOL - I read that and I thought, I don't know if he understands how single elimination tournaments work. But my biggest gripe is If you are going to mention all these parts of what you don't like about Fran, I think it's only fair as a "journalist" that you list some of his accomplishments. You can call him a big baby and an embarrassment all you want - but I see a guy who's taken 4 programs to the NCAA and Iowa to it's 4th in 6 years. You can call him a Man Baby, but I see a guy who donates a ton of his time and money to cancer research. These kind of pieces seem so incredibly short sited. Especially now knowing Fran said he intended for his remarks to be private and he did them away from the court, which makes it even LESS of a problem. This kind of language happens on the court too.

In my mind it was ok if no one else heard it. If your a man and have another issue with another man you hash it out. Face to face. That's how the world works. These refs here worse shit said to them on the sidelines - IMO it was way more professional then doing it on national TV.Fran's comment about trying to say it in private is what set me off, knowing that what he was doing was wrong and unprofessional, but in his mind it was ok if no one else heard it.

Yes, you would be right in another situation. Whether, or not, anyone heard Fran is moot. He still violated clause 10, or whatever it was regarding sportsmanship and the ref still could have reported it to the Big 10, but it didn't matter to Fran, he was out of control.
Ah, but single one out and start calling them a m'fer and see what happens.Try telling your subordinates to run a lap or yelling "that's terrible, do it again!" every time they make a mistake. That won't be tolerated either. But it is in coaching.
