For the most part. One bad season with the new AD could put him on the hot seat. He should already be financially set though as long as he's been making big bucks. Not having to pay for 3 of his boys to go to school sure doesn't hurt I assume he may have to be paying for his daughter. Pocket change to him.
Simple Misadeanor means a lot of dumb people on the internet didn't have a clue what they were talking about. I could easily see how this would happen.Teen driver cited in Iowa City traffic crash that led to death of Iowa National Guard soldier
Jack McCaffery, a highly touted basketball recruit and son of University of Iowa men's coach Fran McCaffery, was cited for a simple misdemeanor.www.press-citizen.com
It's official now.
He'd have to have a really bad season though, I mean, he has a lot of good will with the success he has had. While we might not be elite this year, I just don't see any scenario where the bottom falls out and he has a bad year. It could happen, but if I had to lean good season on the brink or bad season on the brink - hammer the over.
For sure it'd take a pretty bad yr. Like less then 15 wins kinda bad I suppose and I don't see that happening. I've seen some folks say they don't think we'll get to 20 wins or make the dance though. But I don't think that'd get him fired cause like you said.
Right, some folks have said that every single year about Iowa (sans 20/21) as of late ..... maybe they'll get it right once if they keep predicting it.... or maybe they should have a little more prespective. I am leaning towards the latter.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Iowa will always be an option for him, especially if his dad is coaching. By coming out and stating he won't be at Iowa, it gives him a little space over the next year or two. Something his brothers never had. It also will allow other schools to legitimately recruit him. And if he does change his mind down the road, it might show Iowa fans that blueblood schools A and B offered him too. Leaning towards Iowa early would limit the ceiling of offers he would have received, in my opinion.
Ain't that the truth. I find it hard to see him finding his way to Iowa if he doesn't start out there only because as the yrs go by Frans time of being here will only be less. I mean we're talking 6 or 7 more yrs till his JR/Sr yr. right? Seems like an eternity in coaching. I'll be surprised if Fran is still at Iowa 5 yrs from now. If he is it'll be pleasantly so because that'll mean things are going well.
I tend to agree, but I remember Coach Tom Davis having measured success, and even making to the tournament his last year, and was not offered a contract. Never say never. But that being said, I hope that the new AD plays it smart and allows Fran to do what he needs to do. If he leaves, he leaves. Certainly, he has done enough to be allowed that.
Forbes, Devries, and Jans would be on that short list. Regardless of this tragic accident I really didn't see Jack at Iowa. Just a gut feeling, but watch him be POY in Iowa and go to a blue blood.
Totally off base and a terrible comparison.
That's extreme! Another driver waived the guy in front of him for God's sake.
It's not this black and white.... Not even close. I wasn't there I assume you weren't either. If the report is true it was an accident. Jack wasn't driving distracted or speeding. It's a dangerous multi lane intersection. Is a person that hits a deer guilty of a crime every time that happens? This was a jogger running out in front of him when he couldn't see till it was too late.
Holy shit is that dumb. The law is what happened here, there was a thorough investigation. It’s high profile, lots of eye balls on it. If there was a charge they could pin on him, they would have. You’re the one who doesn’t want to follow law in your scenario and you truely are dumber than dirt
I would.
