Reading the gazetteonline.com, it appears that Fran thinks he can convince Aaron to stay. Specifically, one probably wouldn't say "t’s my job to make sure he’s comfortable enough to stay" if one didn't think they could convince the individual to stay.
Gazette: Rumors abound about Aaron Fuller’s possibly transferring. Is he going to leave or stay?
McCaffery: I don’t have anything one way or the other. I will tell you this: I really enjoyed my meeting with him. I need to have more meetings, more discussions with him. He was very open to it. The reason he was very open to it was because he really loves his teammates and that came through loud and clear to me. That’s the thing that impressed me most about him. Yeah, there were some things he didn’t like. But you look at his improvement; he really improved as a player. He loves his teammates and he loves the institution. He loves being at Iowa, so he just has to get comfortable with me. I think that won’t take long. We hit it off right away. Always you wonder about players from elsewhere. Sometimes I remember we had a player years ago who loved everything about home and he just wanted to go home. I don’t get the impression that that’s Aaron Fuller. Yeah, he’s from Phoenix, but he loves it here. It’s my job to make sure he’s comfortable enough to stay.
