Iowa fans are fed up with the pettiness of a former Hawkeye hooper

Life has a way of teaching most of us to be humble and accountable.

I jumped off the Franwagon starting with year 6. I always enjoyed listening to Fran talk basketball but it was obvious by then that he had reached full Peter Principle. Fortunately for him Barta continually rewarded him by giving him unearned contract extensions. He is a mid major coach who got lucky by landing a power conference job at a school that had an incompetent AD. He is where he belongs in more ways than one.

When it comes to Barta it's just sad. He was as terrible of an AD as it gets but he was lucky as any AD could ever be. Between the lawsuits and how he handled the athletic departments he shoulda been fired really early on. He got to hang on cause he was a fund raiser. And the football program was rolling along thanks to KF. He had the blessing of many big dollar donors and so long as he stayed out of KFs way which for the most part he did he had KFs blessing too and that's all that mattered.
