All you people who wanted him fired, I hope you just watched him completely outcoach a veteran coach. Fantastic defensive game plan! Congrats to Fran and the Hawks. Long live IOWA HOOPS!!

They hopped back on the wagon. Duh!!
 
Wow...I must have missed this memo...I thought we were only firing Ferentz. Gaddammit...somebody's gotta keep us all on the same page. I say we vote which one goes.

Who'd ya rather?
 
These guys


​then there was that thread "Fran Just Lost ME" but I couldn't find that one. Maybe it got deleted. I don't know. But believe me there were people who wanted him fired.

Yea those were some embarrassing threads. It's one thing to overreact in the immediate aftermath of a bad loss (which I am totally guilty of), but calling for the firing of a coach who has improved the program in each season he's been here is ridiculous.
 
LOL LOL LOL .... Seriously where is that 'Fran just lost me' thread.

Hey maybe you are just realizing you are the one's that are lost. The band wagon left the station and you were not on it.
 
Agreed. But it never fails....some fool starts a thread like this after every Hawk win.

Agreed. A thread supporting Fran, please. And of all times too. After a big win and masterfully coached game? What an idiot.

Say, was that you I saw in the "Fran Just Lost Me" thread?

Yeah, but this isn't really a "support Fran" thread so much as it is a "calling people out" thread.
 
Seriously, as an IOWA fan, how could you 'hate' Fran? His passion is so contagious.
Great family man........and he's certainly an IOWA MAN.

To the Victor go the spoils. #GoHawkeyes
 
Man, I just don't want this weekend to end! Thank you Fran and Hawks. I forgot how good it feels to win big games. It's awesome. Hard to believe I ever took this all for granted.

1977Hawkeye is right...this is not a "support Fran" thread...it is a "bash anyone who ever dared criticize Fran" thread. A troll job...nothing more.

Newsflash: criticizing a coach does NOT equal "hater". I really despise that term. I also don't think much of people who keep track of posters who have had differing opinions at times, who eagerly wait for the opportunity to start ridiculous threads like this in order to "prove" how superior they are. This is what cyclone fans do. I thought you were better than this, 1hawkeye1, but I guess not.

You are right. Everyone who wanted Fran fired is awesome. I apologize.

Whats the point of contuing to bring this up? Some were Pizzed after a loss, but very few were actually calling for his head. The best part of the season has been the finish and the NCAA tourney, so why not just enjoy it?
