well... I've always liked Fran but yeah now I'm starting to wonder.
He keeps putting the same guys doing the same roles that do nothing but fail at them.
Yet he keeps throwing them in.
It's far from "time to go" for him but doubt is starting to creep into my mind for the first time.

I hate knee jerk, fire the coach reactions but let's face it. We have seen nothing resembling a half court offense and the best Fran coached team barely made a play in game after falling apart to end the season. Both football and basketball are so uninspiring at this point that I'm not against trying something to spark interest in our sports again.
Let's face it though, I don't see how firing Fran is going to do anything but put us right where we are currently at best.

I don't recall a time when Iowa athletics was ever this low. At least when football sucked in the pre-Fry era, the basketball usually more than made up for it.
The Fran experiment is now officially over in my mind. Sally Mason, it's your move to initiate the changes that need to be made, starting with Gary Barta, then Kirk Ferentz, then Fran McCaffery. It looks like it will require a woman to clean this house.

I am also a big Fran fan but I am starting to wonder as well. We are so SOFT and cannot shoot.... NO ONE. How is that possible? The guards are horrific.

Todd Lickliter was our basketball coach. That was horrible. On the other hand, I liked that just because I stopped caring about basketball by now.

Lick was the disaster of all disasters.. I will never go so far as to say that unless things slide back to 20 loss seasons... But I'd say it's more like Alford Part II.
I think each will get 1 more year( ferentz,barta, mccaffrey) and then we start over.

Being an East Coast guy and apparently able to get athletic, urban players to a smaller school like Sienna, I really figured Fran would be able to get some of those players to Iowa City.
Boy, was I wrong.
Year 5 and he clearly is not up to the task.

Let the team coach themselves and save $2.5 Million.
