Fran Looking Around?

It doesn’t really matter who the coach is anyways. Iowa is still going to be in the same place as a program as it’s been for 100 years and the same posters will complain, just about different things. Here’s a tip: it ain’t the coach, it’s the school. If Iowa lands some gem, he ain’t long for this place and we all know it. The planet keeps turning, but iowa basketball will remain irrelevant long term regardless.

Your tip is so very wrong. It’s 100% the Coach!!!!.

In the big picture, unfortunately, we ARE irrelevant. Very much so. Take the big view.

ZERO regular season conference title in 40 years. 40. And we were Tri-champions that year.

How many Sweet 16's in the past 25 years?

The biggest story re Iowa BB in the past 25 years?
Pierre Pierce and Alfraud. I think you could still draw a straight line between that moment and fan attendance and apathy.

Actually heard Fran talk about in West Des Moines last summer. But, I guess he was lying about his own sons...whatever.

Yep, coaches are always 100% honest when in front of the public/media. What’s he supposed to say? That he hates it. I bit naive.
