Jake Christensen?

I’m not sure Jack comes here even if that incident didn’t occur. With how Patrick struggled with needing a mental break, or just brothers not always wanting to follow same paths another, there plenty of other valid reasons why Jack would want to go else where. It is interesting speculation...

The women just played in a national title game last season and wrestling won one in 2021. I’ve enjoyed Fran as their coach but if he wants more fans at the games he has to show them there is hope in the big dance. Fran develops players well, great regular season coach, but outside of that big...

Meh. What do you really expect against a no name school. Fran is good but he is a player developer and coaches a scheme that has a really high floor with a ceiling not much higher. People don’t have much hope that iowa could contend for a regular season big ten title or sweet 16. If there was...

Do you see what the next power ball winning numbers are too?

The radio team probably set this joke up for him lol.

Are you effectively saying Western Michigan has a better defense than Iowa State? I think Iowa’s defense will add a td, can’t see iowa scoring less than 28.

This tournament record is far from what you would expect from a coach that has remained at one team for 13 years. Sure there are highlights and great things next to Frans name. But he has had plenty of opportunity to learn how to coach better in NCAA tournament, so yet he under performs over and...

Ok I agree with you here fry.

perspective for a moment - iowa fan should expect to lose anytime fran gets a team to the NCAA tournament. On average true? What a sorry take to talk about pre season expectations

What does this move Frans NCAA record too? Too many players never get a chance to see the NCAA tournament, he often gets his teams there only to perform worst than anyone other point this season. Effort wasn’t there. His teams seem emotionally exhausted by the time they reach the tournament.

Iowa should expect nothing more than a medal though! Fran having to remind his teams to put their hands up on defense in the NCAA tournament, got a chuckle out of me. I respect Fran but his NCAA record is pathetic, there is no spinning it…

As easy as it is to hate Steve Alford the guy did make it to a sweet 16 everywhere about except iowa. I gotta believe Fran will get one too, but he has always proven to be more of a coach that prepares his team well for scheme for overall season or player development . When it comes to game to...

When did I ever say I thought iowa would get someone better? You don’t lower your standards because of risk. I’m well aware iowa could get someone worst. But Fran has had his time and shouldn’t be a forever coach unless noteable wins happen when it really matters. I’m not really crazy about...

Well I believe you’re wrong. Some people are fine with the same leadership in place forever but I feel organizations or teams stagnant when progress isn’t happening and you still keep bringing the same people back. Stop living in fear. What Fran has done has been great, but he himself should...
