#3 maybe this?? - per the press conference ISU recommended the band to leave thru the east gate where the bus was parked and there was less people - the band left thru West gate on the side opposite their buses and into a crowd of people .
Bonuses are standard and Fran's 30K bonus is probably on the smaller side. But a raise of 400,000/yr? That's 2,000,000 over the life of the contract (assuming 5 more years)
Is Fran a top 40 coach? Asking for a friend..
Tom Davis was forced out because he was "only making the tournament" most every year and not advancing....now its a $400k raise for "only making the tournament".
On one of the radio shows they said Fant was doing what he was supposed to do - relaying the audible call to the outside wide receiver. The ball was snapped while Fant was doing this because they were hurrying to beat the play clock. Issue was not Fant messing up, it was not calling a time out.
Substitution patterns (or lack of) drives me nuts. IMO, ..8 man rotation is best in college basketball. Play the five best players the most minutes with 3 solid backups (a guard, a wing, and a big). Then have a couple more spot minute guys for foul trouble and maybe to give 2-3 minute rests...
If the NBA set a rule that if a kid that went to college he had to be there two years before being draft eligible but if he went to the g league he would be eligible in one year - that may actually help.
2 new WR starters - Trever Ryen replaced by Jones who started the year before over Ryan and Butler's spot (Butler moved to Lazard's Spot)
2 New OL starters with one of last years OL starters now a backup on the 2 deep
Everyone likes to talk about Campbell leaving, and justifiable so, BUT Is it possible Hawk fans have been lulled into false sense of security with Fry and Ferentz? How do other coaches see the Iowa Job? if the next Iowa Coach isn’t Brian Ferentz, does that coach use Iowa as a stepping stone...
Will Top Tier Grad transfers be turned off by the typical Iowa rotation where they may only get 20 to 25 minutes a game instead of 30 to 35 at other schools?
Will Point guard transfers or Jucos be concerned about the coaches son being ahead of them on the depth chart?
