McCaffery's Deal....

[JonDMiller]

His original deal was for 6 yrs, guarantee of 1.1mil per year. He was two years into that six years, so had four remaining.

New deal is 7 years...so its basically a three year extension of first deal, but he gets a nice raise.

He will make $1.3 next year. If Iowa gets to NCAA NEXT YEAR, it goes up to $1.7. If no NCAA next year, it moves to $1.5.

It's a good, fair, competitive contract. Fran has earned it, imo.

 

[JHHawk]

I really hope that Fran realizes his stated goal of finishing his career as the coach at Iowa,which means a very long run,beyond this contract.

This is the first bball coach since Davis that I am happy to hear this.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- It took just two seasons for Fran McCaffery to take the downtrodden Iowa program and make it a respectable one.

Read the link in the OP. It is at the bottom of the article.

From article:

When I came here, my goal was to finish my career here,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to finish it at the expiration of this contract by any means. This is not a stepping stone situation. It was never viewed that way; it shouldn’t be viewed that way. There’s no place higher than the Big Ten, unless you have somebody who always aspired to coach in the NBA which I don’t. I want to coach in college. My family is very happy in Iowa City. I really enjoy the people that I work with.”

It seems to me McCaffrey is the perfect fit...and is going to be coaching at Iowa for a VERY long time.

I can't believe fran's getting paid that much money for kirk ferentz to have mediocre results.

They have come to accept 7-5 seasons. That'll be fine.
