Holy shit Fran is absolutely NOT in line for any job he wants right now. Jesus. He's not Coach K or Izzo or even Roy. Indiana wouldn't be interested in the slightest. A bunch of programs would be turned off by Fran's temperament. You are seriously overestimating Fran's appeal to other schools...

Dude, without being rude, what world do YOU live in? 3 years is plenty of time on a contract to wait a couple of weeks and see what happens in the tournament. Come on man. These are high school kids. Unless they have reason to believe a coach is on the hot seat they aren't going to be concerned...

Look at the Cyclones for example. They extended Prohm just two years ago after he made the NCAA tournament (and then promptly got upset in the 1st round). Now they're on the hook for a big buyout after the program completely tanked and they basically have no choice but to fire him.

3 years left on his deal isn't like it expires tomorrow lol. A hell of a lot can change in 3 years. Do you really think a recruit is going to look at that and think "hmm, he's only signed for 3 years, that means he's guaranteed to be gone by the time I'm a senior." No recruit is going to think...

You seem to be taking people's comments about the extension seeming premature and jumping like 3 spaces to believing that means they don't want Fran here. I don't think anyone is saying they want Fran gone, nor would we want him gone regardless of how the tournament plays out. I just don't love...

I guess I completely disagree with this mentality. Getting to an occasional sweet 16 isn't delusional in the slightest. There's zero reason we can't get to a couple of sweet 16's each decade. There are smaller schools with smaller budgets that do it. Making the NCAA tournament on a regular basis...

All-time leading scorer, second all-time in rebounds, and fifth all-time in blocks. Not to mention two time national player of the year. Not bad for a "slow, unathletic white guy".

Regarding the bolded part clearly you don't read Cyclown Fanatic. Fran slammed a chair once and called a ref a cheater. He's like Bobby Knight on steroids!! (obviously I kid)

I don't think the Nebraska comparison is a good one. Their fans and school still delusionally think this is the 90's and that they should be dominating the sport. Iowa fans are pretty realistic and reasonable with our expectations when it comes to basketball. Give us a fun team to watch and at...

It's not a career year until he gets us past the round of 32. We've been ranked in the top 10 in several different seasons under Fran. I suppose it's a career year in the sense that we made the semifinals of the BTT. For the record I like Fran and I have no problem with him being extended it...

I agree with everyone besides @InGoodCo (and I respectfully disagree with him). This definitely seems premature. Let's at least get past the round of 32 before extending him through 2028. It's not like other programs are going to be interviewing Fran during the tournament. Barta could have...

I assumed the thread starter was being sarcastic but apparently not. It would only be a disappointing season to me if we bow out early in the NCAA tourney. We are ranked #5 in the country, made the semifinals of the BTT for the first time in forever, are a lock to get a 2 seed in the NCAA...

Refs clearly decided that Illinois is going to win. No need to watch the second half. Also, CJ is having a really bad game.

This is fucking stupid. Illinois is molesting us and doesn't get called for jack shit. I may have to turn this off.

This officiating is terrible.

I absolutely love it. That was some of the best defense I've ever seen a Fran team play.

Game should be over if the clock had started.

LMAO no one realized it was a 1 and 1.

Man Bohannon is so fucking clutch at the line.

Just make the front end of the one and one coming up and it's over.
