Fran's Contract

[Hawk5656]

How long is Fran's current contract thru? I feel like we're in a bad spot where we will either have to extend him soon for recruiting purposes otherwise.

McCaffery, 55, in his fifth season as the Hawkeyes' coach, had a year added to his previous deal, extending it through the 2019-2020 season.

So if we don't fire him at the end of the year we pretty much have to extend him for recruiting purpose. Great!

Well, we don't actually "have" to...

 

[SteveGarvey1]

He ain't getting fired, even if we go 0-18 so might as well extend him now.

I would agree it may be decision time. As I said in a previous post, if the administration is not sure, better to decide too soon that too late.

Wait...he's only under contract for 2 more years? We are actually in a decent position to fire someone for once.

He's under contract through 2022. 2 more years got added to his deal when he made the NCAA tournament in 2015, I believe.

I hear Barta working up an extension as we speak.

Since KF was allowed to do it a few times, Crean underperforming assistants from staff. Bring in a recruiting specialist that knows how to play around the edges. The other one must be a defensive coordinator that gets the patended B1G style of shove, grab, elbow and chuck.

We will have boatloads more wins, less graduations, and many news conferences dealing with non basketball related events.

it amazes folks have turned so fast on Fran but kirk gets a pass every year because we're a developmental school in football. apparently, we aren't a developmental school in basketball.

Kirk has had success here and Fran hasn't.

What's it going to be, Barta

I want an answer NOW

Damn it, I don't care about Joe, Patrick or that DJ Dude

fran has taken iowa to 6 straight post seasons out of his first 7.

 

[PCHawk]

Who cares if they add one more year to the contract every year? One more year isn't "break the bank" money.

You're a member of these boards and really think KF get's a free pass?

No Iowa doesn’t and shouldn’t..

I'm much more sick of Kirk than I am of Fran but I'm not happy with either of them right now. But, as Jon says, fatigue is cumulative. I've had a lot longer to get sick of Kirk's oatmeal-ass style of painful wins and losses to bad teams.

I think part of the frustration is we've seen the extension after extension from Kirk with minimal/any improvement and we're tired of a middle of the pack program that can't seem to get to the next level. Also as another posted, Kirk has also had much more success than Fran, but that said I think based on recent performance they should both be on the hot seat.

yep. he sure does. not by everyone. but he sure does by some. we're a developmental program, that's why every thing that is not good that happens isn't his fault.
