If Fran commits to coaching defense and holds players accountable, they can make drastic improvements next season. That means he will have to sit certain players, that can't or won't play D. Certain players that contribute a lot on the offensive end. I'm not convinced he'll do that.
"I wouldn't say something on the internet that I wouldn't say to someones face". You didn't come right out and say that's what you think I'm doing. So, I wanted to set you straight on what I will and won't do. I don't want any misunderstandings. I speak my mind. Bluntly and without much regard for hurt feelings. It's always been my way because when people do the same to me, I appreciate it. You'll always know where you stand with me. If I'm wrong, I have no problem owning it.
I don't keep emails from 2010. So, no, I can't. But I don't need to prove anything to you. Just go back and listen to his lies he told about Fran's extension that he tried to keep secret. He flat out told lies about the hows/whys of that situation. He flat out stated that "he wasn't trying to hide the extension from anyone". But Scott Docterman had to file a FOI request to force them to give the contract information to him, after they denied his initial request. That's a LIE. So, we all saw him tell that lie on camera. Is it your opinion that it's the first lie Gutless Gary has ever told?
I agree. Somethings gotta give. But that's tough. It's tough to sit JBo. My guess is they'll play a lot more zone than they already did... Will it work? Heck if I know. It's tougher to rebound and generate turnovers out of it I feel. Sitting guys without a replacement that's even close to being as good doesn't exactly do anything to improve anything either. I dunno smarter guys then me are trying to improve what their doing we'll see what they try. It'd be fun to find Fran at an airport bar sometime and have a couple beers with him and talk about just this...
What I do or don't coach, makes zero difference to the amount of incompetence they display at their jobs. Nobody pays me to coach. I do it because I enjoy it. I choose to try and help young people get better at their chosen sports. And I do get criticized from parents and players alike. It comes with the job. Some is deserved and some isn't. I always wear my big boy pants, so I have no problem dealing with it.
That's precisely the situation we have. I'm not sure there's enough defensive minded players on the current roster, to make that much difference. But that's on Fran and his staff. They did the recruiting.
Bullshit! Now YOU are telling lies about the lies that Gutless Gary tells. I'm gonna go ahead and put you on ignore. Tell your Gutless lies about Gary's Gutless lies, to somebody else.
There might be a fine line between being lied to and the attempt of having the wool pulled over us. Your right on how the school (Iowa's not unique with their lack of transparency other schools attempt the same when they can) did what they did. It's a shady way of trying to withhold from the fans and the fact that it's going to come out and they can't sugarcoat the timeline of things with it all makes it seem even dumber of a thing to do. Barta was going to take the same heat for his decision to extend Fran regardless now he had to answer questions about why he attempted to delay that coming out. (I think he said it was due to his own health)
